 Oops - didn't realize I was ordering mini
Make sure you want the miniature before you order. I didn't pay that much attention and was surprised to receive a tiny tiny book in the mail.
 a worhtwhile read. not in depth enough though.
a great read. i do wish it went a lot more in depth though, it just quickly covers a lot of very important aspects. BTW this book is LITERALLY 2in X 2in. it is tiny. not at all what i expected. thats probably why it is so cheap. i am looking forward to the "grown up" version.
 Great concepts
If you can implement the advice from Boundaries into your life then you will be better for it. The book explains why it is appropriate to sometimes say "no" to people. Some of the fictional examples are unrealistic and detract from the good advice (a woman tells her boss that she will not work on his last-minute project, and as a result she is promoted and her former boss is assigned to be her assistant). The authors like to quote scriptures to support their ideas, but they jump between several translations of the Bible and you get the impression that the verses don't always say exactly what is desired. Despite that the book contains useful concepts and it reads well.
Content Good. Size of Book - BAD
I ordered this book (so did a friend of mine who experienced the identical problem) and in the mail arrived a very tiny 2 inch by 2 inch pocket version. Why was this not made clear in the ordering???
Everyone Should Read this Book!
Everyone, especially Christians, should read and reread this book. I have recommended it to so many of my clients (I am a pastoral counselor) that I should be getting royalties! Understanding boundaries and setting boundaries is not easy. This book offers the reader the reasons why we should have boundaries and how to set healthy ones without creating conflict, but without avoiding conflict as well. One of my favorite concepts in this book is that if you can't say 'no,' you can't say 'yes' either! So true. Recently, I bought a book entitled "Do I Have to Give Up Me to be Loved by You?" little did I know, I bought it just for the title (great title, huh?), it did not compare to the concrete information and practical suggestions that Cloud and Townsend offers in their book.
