Summary

2024 ECPA CHRISTIAN BOOK AWARD - AUDIOBOOK OF THE YEAR

READ BY THE AUTHOR

Relationships are wonderful . . . until they're not.

Stop the dysfunction of unhealthy relationships and learn biblical ways to set boundaries--and, when necessary, say goodbye.

Is it unloving or selfish to set a boundary with family members or friends? Are Christians ever called to walk away from a relationship that’s no longer safe or sustainable? #1 New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst deeply understands these hard questions in the midst of relational struggles.

After thousands of hours of counseling intensives and extensive theological research that transformed the way she defined healthy relationships, Lysa is now more committed than ever to loving people well without losing the best of who she is.

In these pages, Lysa will help you:

  • Understand the five factors to remember when implementing healthy boundaries.
  • Determine the appropriate amount of personal and emotional access someone has to you.
  • Stop being misled and emotionally paralyzed by wrongly interpreted or weaponized Bible verses that perpetuate unhealthy relationships.
  • Be equipped with effective boundary-setting tools, such as realistic scripts and practical strategies for healthier communication.
  • Be empowered to say goodbye without guilt when a relationship has shifted from difficult to destructive.
  • Receive therapeutic wisdom you can trust directly from Lysa’s Christian counselor Jim Cress, who weighs in throughout the book.

You'll be relieved to learn that boundaries aren't just a good idea, they're a God idea.

Look for additional biblically based resources and devotionals from Lysa:

  • Forgiving What You Can't Forget
  • It's Not Supposed to Be This Way
  • Uninvited
  • You're Going to Make It
  • Embraced
  • Seeing Beautiful Again

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

My first audio book 2023

I really enjoyed this listen. It has a clear concise message without over simplifying what can be a very complex issue of setting healthy boundaries. Loved the lived out section in each chapter. As always Lysa is honest, wise and practical which for me is always the holy trinity 😀 Trish Ireland 🇮🇪

Relatable

I liked how relatable it was and the tips that were given in the book. Also still keeping the spiritual aspect because it can be a difficult decision to make as a Christian. Thank you

Useful and nicely read

I enjoyed this book I found it helpful,
I wish there were more specific examples of abuse to make it easier to relate to though. Nicely read
