Why Get This Book

If you're the one who always says yes, then lies awake exhausted and resentful, this book is a deep breath. Cloud and Townsend explain a boundary as a personal property line: what you're responsible for, and what you're not. They cover physical, mental, emotional and spiritual boundaries, and they meet the question many Christians carry: can I set limits and still be a loving person? For the worn-out mom, the people-pleaser, the guilt-driven helper. Honest note: it asks for change, and the people around you may push back at first. Next step: read Galatians 6:2-5 and notice where "carry each other" meets "carry your own load."
