Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life by John Townsend, Henry Cloud

3.0

If i could rate this 2.5 stars that would be more accurate. I think the overall message of this book is solid. Boundaries are CRUCIAL (a lesson I learned the very hard way- yay for being an INFJ gets me every time lol). Setting boundaries is not un-Christian ( i never thought it was but i appreciate this book for stating that definitively some people need to hear that). however you can tell this book was written long ago. There are some things that are in the book that I don't think are applicable to the times we live in now, but it seems that the author would still call it a problem. I think there is a difference between offering support within your means and setting a hard boundary because someone is taking advantage of you which i think gets confused in this book at times. overall this was a needed reminder that setting boundaries is key, just some of the examples aren't so great.
