Evaluación: - What a joke - look close before you order
I ordered this for my wife as she has lost her book. I did not read the fine print which states this is a minature edition of the book at about 3 x 4 inches max. Return shipping is $3.99 so I will take this as a joke on me - not happy about purchase

Evaluación: - Boundaries: When to Say Yes, When to Say No to Take Control of Your Life... Title Says it All!
~Boundaries: When to Say Yes, When to Say No to Take Control of Your Life~ is a book I encountered after a difficult courtship that failed in God's frowning providence. Amidst seeking advice, the notion of maintaining meaningful boundaries in one's life came to my attention, as a Christian friend, brought this informative book to my attention. Robert Frost once said, 'Good fences make good neighbors.' Guarding against trespasses on your personal boundaries often entails preemptive steps to fence off those areas of your life, so as to avoid the encroachment in the first place. Herein, psychologists Cloud and Townsend offer constructive counsel on taking control of your life by maintaining personal space, and boundaries in your life. Some of the prescriptive advice is common sense, but the context in which the counsel is delivered makes the examples worthwhile reading. Avoiding sins of the tongue and personal revelations of private matters is part of the boundaries equation. Similarly, not ... Leer Más

Evaluación: - Very helpful
Best book on setting boundaries I've encountered. Most of us have at least some dysfunction in our families. This book clearly depicts healthy boundaries, outlines the consequences of setting or not setting them, and helps removes the guilt some of us will have in the process. It even addresses being nice and still maintaining personal boundaries. Take back your power with clear and healthy boundaries! Highly recommend it!

Evaluación: - small packages
I purchased this book to go along with the workbook. When I received the book it was 2" x 2"...not hardly a book at all. I didn't notice anything about it being more of a daily devotional than the actual book meant to be read. The "little" book should not have been in the same price range as the original. I didn't notice the miniature series noted by the publisher. But I didn't let the seller know so it's my loss. It was packaged well and delivered in a timely manner.

Evaluación: - Boundaries: When to Say Yes, When to Say No
Well, I guess I need to remember "buyer beware" because I ordered 2 of these books, one for myself, and one for my friend, thinking we could read and review the book together. What I failed to do was to read the information in the parenthises that said (Inspirio/Zondervan Miniature Editions). The books are very miniature, and only have a small amount of the normal sized book. I feel my boundaries have been violated.

Evaluación: - Good Book
Book arrested my attention with the heading of Chapter Three!! It is helping me to be fulfilled so that I can do the work I am called to do and live the life I am called to live. Thank You, Jesus and Dr. Cloud!

I didn't expect this book to be so religious, yet it is an interesting read. I haven't read the entire book so I cannot give a complete review. I do think it can be helpful for individuals who have experienced spiritual abuse.

Evaluación: - Life changing book
The best book I've ever read. God healed me through it.
It clearly explains what is right and what is wrong. Why do we do things that we think are right, but still feel bad when we do it. It pointed out a lot confusing, puzzled issues that we face everyday. After reading the book, I learned to do the right thing, and not feel guilty, angry, or sad. I no longer being controlled by others' emotion. I feel light, free, and happy. The great examples in the book reminded me a lot of my past. And by remembering the painful, unpleasant past, I learned how and why they happened. And what I need to do next time when they happen again. I no longer need to be affraid. Reading the book feel like God is healing me at the same time. It's painful, angry, sad, sorry, and a lot of mix feelings. But after reading it, I am thankful. I recommend to read it slow, so God can work on you. I also recommended to a lot of my good friends, some have hard time finish reading it. But those who finishing reading ... Leer Más

Book came very quickly, service was outstanding. I can't wait to read this book. Henry Cloud is an outstanding author.

Evaluación: - Boundaries... not what you'd expect !
As a Christian preparing for marriage, my fiance's mother loaned me her copy of the book, saying it would have made a great difference to her marriage had she not read it 42 years into marriage. I'm so glad she did. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to shoulder their responsibility in marriage and let that serve as catalyst for change in their relationship. It's great!

Evaluación: - Excelllent book, applies to all kinds of relationship or life, a great wedding gift!
I received this book from a friend after getting married in Chinese translated version. This is the first book of such kind I've read in my life. At first I thought this is another Christianity preaching book about love and Jesus, but I was wrong, it is more than that.
I've reread the book at least 8 times to the middle, although every time I never get to finish it, it has already helped me greatly. My marriage is great, but we still encounter arguments, disagreement of opinion which makes us depressed and unhappy afterward. After reading this book, it made us understand our own weaknesses, exam our self and help out each other.

What's really good about this book "...is that it is not a "How To" book. The authors realized that lists of surface actions to change don't change the heart. They focus on pointing out principles and revealing truth. They give plenty of examples and paint pictures of how certain actions make others feel. This helps you see beyond yourself, thus ...

Evaluación: - Boundaries of Marriage
Drs. Cloud and Townsend did an outstanding job with this book. I have added this book as a must read for all who comes to me for counseling. Our pastor also added it to his list for those who are planning on getting married. Every one should read boundaries, whether it is for marriage or single people. It has a message for all. If we understood boundaries then some of the arguments would not be. It would save some unnecessary heartaches. The authors does not leave a stone unturn. They addresses practically all subjects, for example, oneness, you were not always one, now you are trying to become one. Christ is still completing the work in us that He has begun until we go to be in His presence. I highly recommend this book.I am reading Boundaries, When to Say Yes, When to Say No, To Take Control of Your Life by Dr.Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend.

Evaluación: - Beware of This Book
From my own personal experience in using this book in a marriage counseling setting, I would recommend all Christians to look somewhere else. Read "Sacred Marriage" by Gary Thomas first. Sacred Marriage is based on the Bible. "Boundaries in Marriage" could very easily wreck your marriage. Solid Christian Counselors that believe marriage is sacred will also warn you away from this book. Too often this book is used to justify placing boundaries on your spouse in such a way that effective communication is completely eliminated, which can then become a way for you or your spouse to escape from healthy conflict resolution. Again, there are plenty of good books for marriage. This is not one of them. To quote a phrase in "Sacred Marriage", "God made marriage to make us holy, not to make us happy." "Boundaries in Marriage" will only help you become a victim of your own insecurities, and will not allow you to develop into the marriage partner and Godly spouse you need to be. Again pass on this book. ... Leer Más

Evaluación: - Review No. 186
What marginal value can be added to the critique of a book with 185 reviews? Probably little, so I'll keep this brief.

I found this book amazing, boring, thought-provoking, predictable, startling and mundane. That's partly because I read it at the rate of a chapter a month over the course of a year, and moods change in a year. But it's also partly because Yancey has a well-tuned facility for telling his story in waves that takes the reader on a journey of emotional highs and lows.

It may help to know a little about me before I say what I got from this book. I'm a middle-aged woodworker who has been a life-long committed agnostic. If something interests me, I try to understand it as well as I'm able and my way of understanding things relies most heavily on critical reasoning and only a dash of intuition (my wife would say only a dash of intuition because that's all I have). I'm about as post-Enlightenment as they come. There are some things that interest me ... Leer Más

Evaluación: - God sent help
I wish I came across this book sooner. It is full of infos about children, their habits, their way of thinking, their behavior, their can and can't, and lots more. My husband and I really did not know what to do with our seven year old daughter. Some issues were so difficult to deal with, especially they were constantly repetitive. I went to a consoler to seek out help. After listening to me, she suggested this book. I reluctantly bought it at Amazon. I immediately put to practice what it suggested and I saw immediate changes with all of us. My parenting is no more inconsistent, guilt driven, argumentative, bargaining, exhaustive any more. They choose the behavior, they receive the consequences; weather good or bad.
The book also explains the kids " I can't do it" and their " I'm the boss" attitude.
I love this book, I think every parent in the whole world should read it and put it to practice. We would have a promising next generation.

Evaluación: - Fantastic Help for Anyone with Kids
This book is extremely helpful for parents who want to raise responsible, productive children. It can also help parents with their own lives, helping to see that they themselves may have been raised with poor boundaries.

Lots of biblical references throughout this book, so Christians will be strongly impacted by the references to scripture. Non-Christians are still likely to benefit, because the content of this parenting advice is very straightforward and encompasses basic human rights and nature.

Evaluación: - Good Companion Study
The book, "Boundaries with Kids" is a real help to parents and Sunday School Teachers. Using this workbook while studying, whether classroom or individual, was found to be very helpful. We have had three ladies in our Church complete this study, and two more are considering it; using the workbook with the book. All input has been positive.

Evaluación: - Safe People by Drs. Cloud and Townsend
An excellent source of guidance in assessing the likelihood of a good relationship (or an unhealthy relationship). Have used as a reference in divorce recovery classes to understand what may have contributed to the broken relationship (e.g. was my spouse "safe" and/or am I "safe"?).Safe People: How to Find Relationships That Are Good for You and Avoid Those That Aren't

---

Evaluación: - Safe People
Since all of us have, at one time or another, encountered unsafe people, this is a book you wish you had read early in life. The authors describe 11 personality traits and 9 interpersonal traits of unsafe people. As you are reading about these unsafe people traits, you also learn what safe people are like. The book has a section that explains how we got to be unsafe people. The reader is encouraged to take a look at himself to determine whether he has a "safety deficit". A very beneficial book!

Evaluación: - Highly Recommend Boundaries In Dating
This book was a great source of healing and comfort for me in my time of crisis, as I had just broken up with my fiance. As I was doing the autopsy of the relationship, I was able to identify and understand the dynamics of what had taken place, why our relationship got set up the way it did, and why it lead to our demise. The book is abridged and read by the authors which, I believe, helps the material be more concise and easier to absorb and integrate. Most importantly, I was able to see the dysfunctional items that belonged to me as well as to my partner. I highly recommend this material; either book or audio CD version.

I liked this book alot. It had very good advice, things I wish I had already considered and would have saved myself a whole lot of trouble. I will definately try and use what I have learned.

Evaluación: - Speaks Volumes!
I enjoyed this book from end to end. The authors covered all the basis: from how to incorporate God into your dating, to look at personal inadequacies before engaging in a God-centered relationship, keeping yourself respect, and knowing the difference between "settling" or compromising with someone that could be a potential best friend for life.

Although some of the topics, to some degree, were not pertinent to my life, they were, however were good reads and reference points for the future. I don't think that these boundaries are necessarily just for romantic relationships. These ideas can easily be related to interpersonal friendships.

Evaluación: - Great book!
Boundaries in Dating has a lot of great information for dating relationships as well as other relationships in general. Every teenager, older single, and divorcee should read the book before getting involved in another relationship or before going any further in a current relationship. Even married couples could benefit from reading it. Gives great insight for personality and character traits to look for and those to avoid (both in yourself and in others). Boundaries in Dating

I read this book and it is the best helpful book I've ever read. It describes my life in so many ways and how I am dealing with family and boundaries. I felt the book was written for me, but I know so many other persons are going through the same situation. I am recommending it to many friends and church members. I would like to know if you have this book in Spanish. If you don't I would be available to do so. I know many spanish speaking people need this book. Please advise if I can get it in spanish.

Evaluación: - Protecting Yourself
I purchased Boundaries Participant's Guide- Revised: When to say yes, how to say no to take control of your life. I also purchased through Amazon and the product came on time and was in fine condition.

I have a hard time to say no to someone and this book is helping me with "life's issues" and it is ok to say no to someone if this causes stress in your life and that is ok.

A person needs to life some stress out of a person's life. It makes you feel better and in control. That is a very nice feeling.

If you are having trouble with this purchase this book and see how much better you will be.

I highly recommend this book, and getting anything from Amazon has been very secure and I have had no problems what-so-ever.

Evaluación: - Know what you're getting and not getting before you buy!
This book REQUIRES a separate purchase of the DVD. Amazon fails to mention that. Amazon also fails to mention that the book is totally useless without the required DVD. Just know what you're getting. If you are involved as a participant in a study group and the leader has the DVD, the book will be useful and is at a good price. If you planned on this book being used as a personal growth tool, just know that without the purchase of the DVD, this book will be useless to you.Boundaries

This book is complete fluff, has no central argument and consists primarily of overly generalized stories that are obviously made-up.

Evaluación: - There is more to integrity than you might think
I remember discussing integrity with a successful businessman. He thought that you either had integrity or you did not, and if you did not have it he would not hire you. The problem is that I have never met anyone who was completely trustworthy, and I have never met anyone who was completely untrustworthy. And there is a lot more to integrity than trustworthiness.

Henry Cloud identifies six aspects of integrity in his book Integrity: establishing trust, orientation towards truth, getting results, embracing the negative, orientation towards increase, and orientation towards transcendence. While I am not sure I would have picked exactly the same components of integrity, I found the book to be a very useful exploration of what needs to happen below the surface of honesty.

A person who has integrity is not just someone who tells the truth. It is someone who also understands and communicates well with other people, who has a firm grip on reality, who tells it like it is, ... Leer Más
