Summary: Why Christian Based?
Review: Hello to all. I am glad to learn ahead of time that this book is Christian based. I am a non-christian and would rather not be exposed to this theology. I would have been really put off it I had begun to read it and learned it after the fact. But, because I read others thoughts on the book I have decided not to return it. I will read it anyhow.
I would like to recommend "Where to Draw the Line: How to Set Healthy Boundaries Every Day" Amazon has it. The Best to All of You! Bev

Summary: Amazing book!
Review: I am a social worker. I had this book on my shelf for two years but it lay there untouched until today. I rediscovered it when I was going through my bookshelf to try to find something to help some friends who are struggling in their marriage. I took the book home to read and couldn't put it down. The authors speak compassionately and from experience in a user-friendly style. I cried over the self-discovery of some of my own wounds that I have never let heal. As a member of the LGBT community I would only be afraid that
people in all communities who could benefit from this book may never read it because the authors make assumptions about sexual orientation and nuclear families....but I will still enthusiasticly recommend it (with a grain of rainbow salt) to everyone I know. To the authors....THANK YOU...and best wishes with your continued recovery.

Summary: Wish I'd known it was a religious approach
Review: This book is reasonably helpful, but I wish I'd realized before buying it that it uses a Christian perspective.

Summary: *The* Best Boundary Book Available
Review: This workbook explains the concept of boundaries, helps readers learn how to identify unhealthy boundaries, and learn to set new, healthier boundaries on all levels. It doesn't shy away from the tough questions, like "How have you violated someone's boundary recently?" Although from a Christian perspective, and containing a full (and excellent) chapter on religious boundary violations, those of other persuasions--including atheists--could overlook the slight religious content and benefit greatly by working through the book.

Summary: Wish I'd known it was a religious approach
Review: This workbook helped me to apply all I learned through "Boundaries. Where I End and You Begin". The concept of "Boundaries" was completely foreign to me. My definition of self, was totally dependant on those around me. I only mattered to the point that others perceived me. I was completely devistated when Social Services took my children. My case is based less than 10 percent on fact, and over 90 percent on distortions and flat out lies. My world crashed down around me. I allowed others to totally manipulate me. It is now two years later. I am still fighting for my children (CPS doesn't admit they have made any mistakes and chooses to run with lies-even those that can be completely proven as lies-100%). Focusing on their distortions, brought me only misery. I have jumped through everyone of their hoops (classes, testing, ..). I completed everything they through at me, yet I still don't have my children home. If I was going to survive this, something had to change. I had to change. Not for anyone else, but actually for myself. The difference now. I actually care about myself. It doesn't mean I care about my kids any less, actually I honestly believe that my children feel my love at a higher level. They have a mom who takes care of herself...who actually loves herself. They have a mom who they can be proud of. I couldn't teach my children about boundaries before, I had none. Today, through actions, words, and love I am teaching them what was missing in our lives. I am very greatful for the work this book helped to create in me. It helped to change my life.
