Boundaries

Are you in control of your life? Do people take advantage of you? Do you have trouble saying no? Christians often focus so much on being loving and giving that they forget their own limitations. Have you ever found yourself wondering: *Can I set limits and still be a loving person? *What are my legitimate boundaries? *How do I answer someone who wants my time, love, energy, or money? *Why do I feel guilty when I consider setting boundaries? Doctors Henry Cloud and John Townsend give you biblically based answers to these and other tough questions, showing you how to set healthy boundaries with parents, spouses, children, friends, coworkers, and even with yourself. You'll see vital principles of boundaries at work as Drs. Cloud and Townsend take you through a day in the life of 'Sherrie'---first as she lives with almost no boundaries, then as she begins to apply proper boundaries with others in her life. Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend (www.CloudTownsend.com) are popular speakers, psychologists, cohosts of the nationally broadcast New Life Live! radio program, and cofounders of Cloud-Townsend Clinic and Cloud-Townsend Resources. Both graduated with doctorates in clinical psychology from Rosemead Graduate School of Psychology, and both maintain private practices in Newport Beach, California. They are best-selling coauthors of several books, including Boundaries in Dating, Boundaries with Kids, and the Gold Medallion Award-winning Boundaries and Boundaries in Marriage.
