 Now for the dilemma of responsibility! July 10, 1998
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
When to say yes and when to say no - a fundamental christian dilemma. We are always told to turn the other cheek - but some injustice isn't that easy to call. I find this book constructive in my life, but suspect I am giving something away in terms of personal responsibility. This book does tend to become the 'authority' on the book shelf and all too easy to fall back on. A book I find very empowering without giving specific advice, as this book does, is the inspiring "THE Autobiography of Jesus.." by Richard Patton. Althouh I refer often to this clear 'how to' book, I do feel slightly guilty that I didn't come to my own inner understanding of the problem - as is suggested by Patton. Perhaps a varied diet is the best! The Doctors have produced a very needed book and long may they reign.
 Structured in easy reading format. Able to put to use. July 7, 1998

Excellent book. As an adult child wanting to make changes in my life I often need to find resources to help me identify healthier living. This book was easy to read. It helped me see how to have better relationships. Now I know what "my side of the street" really is. How to be loving but not compliant. The format helped me to pin point the areas I need to work on and how to do it. If you're wanting to parent yourself this book will give you all the tools to becoming a healthy adult. It also is helping me to identify areas that I need to take responsibility for.
Excellent Study Guide for Boundaries Book July 1, 1998
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This workbook assists the reader, and the worker, to apply the things learned in the text book into his or her own life. It also includes additional, thought and change provoking thoughts from the authors. Having worked wonderful changes in my life, I strongly recommend this book for those who know there is a problem in life, but can't quite figure out what it is, and are serious about changing those problems effectively and forever. By giving the reader an even deeper understanding of the cause and nature of the problems they are facing than the textbook itself gives, this tool helps the reader apply solutions to the problems. It is an excellent tool because one can not effectively apply a solution if s/he does not yet understand the nature or existence of a problem. Again, an outstanding tool for those who know that their relational and emotional life is out of control, but can't understand or figure out why. This companioin to the Gold Medallion award winning book, "Boundaries", also receives a second gold medal from me. It is a sure five stars plus!
Life Saving -- These men have the answer!! June 20, 1998

This is one of the BEST books I have ever read. It explained in everyday language how to truly live my life the way God wants me to. I grew up with all of the wrong rules and never knew what to do about it until I read this book. What a BLESSING! I have recommended this book to many friends and they feel the same way I do.. ... Thank you Henry and John.
This book may change your life forever!! June 10, 1998
This book is what "self-help" books should be! Not only does it clearly define what boundaries are, but it clearly explains how they are developed (or not developed), and how having boundaries (or the lack thereof) affects every area of our lives. If you aren't sure you understand what boundaries are (much less how to have them in your life), this book is for you. If you have been going through life feeling that something is missing, but you can't quite figure out what's wrong, this book may change your life forever! I know it changed mine! It's much more than just learning when to say "yes" and when to say "no". It's about knowing what defines you as individual. While it emphasizes accepting responsibility for yourself -- your thoughts, actions, feelings -- it is by no means a "pull yourself up by your own bootstraps" kind of book! It truly is one of the best blends of Christianity and clinical psychology I have ever read!
