With a purpose to call themselves good Christians, many people have drawn overly flexible boundaries (unwilling to say no, at all times accommodating others’ needs) or overly rigid boundaries (to the point of being righteous and judgmental). Psychologists and inspirational speakers Cloud and Townsend show readers how to set reasonable boundaries With a purpose to follow the true path of Christianity. This book has grow to be immensely popular, most likely because it makes personal boundaries easier to define and is filled with spiritual purpose. Some cautions: the format can also be overly self-helpish for this sort of complex discussion and the authors at one point imply that judicious spankings may be an acceptable form of setting boundaries with children. On the other hand, many Christians will probably find themselves grateful for this biblical context of boundaries. –Gail Hudson
