Is it unloving or selfish to set a boundary with family members or friends?

After thousands of hours of counseling intensives and extensive theological research that transformed the way she defined healthy relationships, Lysa is now more committed than ever to loving people well without losing the best of who she is.
In these pages, Lysa will help you:
Understand the five factors to remember when implementing healthy boundaries.Determine the appropriate amount of personal and emotional access someone has to you.Stop being misled and emotionally paralyzed by wrongly interpreted or weaponized Bible verses that perpetuate unhealthy relationships.Be equipped with effective boundary-setting tools, such as realistic scripts and practical strategies for healthier communication.Be empowered to say goodbye without guilt when a relationship has shifted from difficult to destructive.Receive therapeutic wisdom you can trust directly from Lysa’s Christian counselor Jim Cress, who weighs in throughout the book.
You’ll be relieved to learn that boundaries aren’t just a good idea, they’re a God idea.

Perfect strengthening a relationship or saying good-bye to a bad one
Throughout my life, I’ve read many different non-fiction books that are attempting address difficult topics. But I’ve never read one that so clearly depicted the struggle of knowing when it is time to say goodbye to a toxic relationship. This is a topic that so often stays within the realm of marriage or workplace; but in her book, Good Boundaries and Goodbyes by Lysa Terkeurst, the author takes time to address what this looks like within the friendship context as well.She tackles the lies that so many Christians believe such as “boundaries are selfish” or “I can’t give up on a relationship because that isn’t what Jesus would do”. There were times as I read that I felt God speaking so clearly right to my heart about lies I’d believed for many years. I think that most people can relate to the struggle of knowing when it’s time to give grace and when it’s time to stand up for oneself; so this book will certainly appeal to believers in all walks of life.The progression of the book flowed from the Biblical basis for boundaries to how they can be set practically in every day situations to recognizing when it’s time to step away from a relationship. Terkeurst shares her deeply personal experiences along each step of the way and shows how God can bring beauty from even the most difficult circumstances. The scriptures and stories are also paired with advice from her counselor, who brings a psychological perspective to the table. And all of it is framed with grace for the individual reader and encouragement to not give up on working through such difficult topics.

Great Bible study resource.
Book is great! Our church used it as a small group Bible study. Great blend of using scripture to back up strategy writings. Recommend also buying study guide for a more rich experience. Our group loved the author so much we are using another of her books for our next series of studies.

Simple Read, big impact
Very encouraging book that helps you manage healthy mindsets within negative relationships. Lisa offers practical and simple ways to establish better boundaries with people who don’t always have the best interest at heart. She also helps you realize how to lower your expectations with certain people. In doing so our boundaries don’t stay past what someone else can give to us. It’s an easy read. There is also an audio version. I purchased the workbook also.

Best audio book read ever!
This is a great start to learning more about how to navigate having healthy relationships with a perfect balance to regular everyday life mixed with a faith based system. Great work from the artist herself! And kuddos to the therapist who took the extra time to join in on the project as well!
