Story4.5 out of 5 stars 32
A successful LA artist, Roman Velasco appears to have everything he could possibly want - money, women, fame. Only Grace Moore, his reluctant, newly hired personal assistant, knows how little he truly has. The demons of Roman's past seem to echo through the halls of his empty mansion and out across his breathtaking Topanga Canyon view. But Grace doesn't know how her boss secretly wrestles with those demons: by tagging buildings as the Bird, a notorious but unidentified graffiti artist - an alter ego that could destroy his career and land him in prison.

2012 marks the 60th anniversary of the publication of C. S. Lewis’s classic, Mere Christianity. Having sold over half a million copies in the UK alone, his overview of Christianity has been imitated many times, but never outdone. Mere Christianity brings together Lewis’s legendary broadcasts from the war years; talks in which he set out simply to ‘"explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times."

Christians often focus so much on being loving and giving that they forget their own limits and limitations. Have you ever found yourself wondering: Can I set limits and still be a loving person? How do I answer someone who wants my time, love, energy, or money? Why do I feel guilty when I consider setting boundaries?

Summary
The teen years can be challenging and even scary for parents and those involved with youth. Attitudes and behaviors of the adolescent can be unhealthy for him and for the family. However, good boundaries are the bedrock of not only better relationships, but also maturity, safety, and growth, especially for teens and their parents.
In order to help teenagers grow into healthy adults, parents and youth workers need to help them experience how to take responsibility for their behavior, their values, and their lives.
Dr. John Townsend, coauthor of the Gold Medallion Award-winning book Boundaries, is a parent of two teenagers himself. With wisdom and empathy, he applies his biblically based principles to bear on the challenging task of the teen years, showing parents:
- How to deal with disrespectful attitudes and irresponsible behaviors in your teen;
- How to set healthy limits and realistic consequences;
- How to be loving and caring while establishing rules;
- How to determine specific strategies to deal with problems both big and small.
The book begins by giving parents a way to look at adolescence itself, so they can better understand how a teen thinks, feels, and relates to others. Then it provides the nuts and bolts of what boundaries are all about and how to apply them. There are many topically based chapters devoted to specific problems, from moodiness to school problems to aggression. Finally, Townsend addresses the attitudes, conflicts, and difficulties of parents themselves, helping them resolve their own personal obstacles to being an effective maturing force for the teen.

Great advice
I love John Townsend and his down to earth, reasonable advice. I’m making my way through all of his books. He is a sure and guiding lighthouse in the rough seas of parenting. Great narration too. Thank you.

Practical and Effective
Following the advice in this book will not only keep your teens on the right track, but force you to be an adult and deal with you own demons. Well worth the time and a good book to read periodically.

Difference maker
Extremely helpful in understanding teens and proding you to recall your own issues while you were a teen. This, along with advice given, help you to deal with your child in more realistic ways than you might have before putting all these points of view together. Advice given is well thought out, gleaned from experience, and based in Christianity. The book is not a Christian book, however, he makes no effort to hide reminding you the way God wants us to raise our children. Excellent book, a must for all parents. I wish I found this when my child was headed to middle school.

It is important to talk to your child with respect even when you are disciplining him and he gives real life examples of how to do that in various challenging aspects

Meh
What did you like best about Boundaries with Teens? What did you like least?
There are some great ideas for how to handle situations and how to look at things from a different perspective. However, this book seems very idealistic and a little preachy. I am a christian but I don't need to be preached to about the ideal that God gave us. If I'd known that is what this was, I wouldn't have purchased it.
Was Boundaries with Teens worth the listening time?
meh
Any additional comments?
You can't just level headedly talk to your teen and expect them to say, "Oh, yea...I get it." I kind of felt like that is what this book tried to sell. Not realistic.

Lots of great ideas but too religious
The author provides many practical suggestions.
There were a lot of suggestions to pray and references to Jesus. This may not be applicable or inspiring to readers. Worst case, readers may find it offensive.

A MUST FOR PARENTS!!!
An absolute excellent tool to understand what happened to your child, and how to handle it, when it turned overnight to something you don't know anymore. Very helpful - An absolute MUST for Parents of Teens, and Pre-Teens in my opinion!
Very detailed and touches most of the problems parents and adolescence will face.
Thanks a lot Dr. Townsend

Great read for any parent of a tween or teen.
Boundaries with Teens is a book that is a parents manual on how to effectively raise teens in today's world. This should be issued to every parent when their child enters school.
