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.

I wish I had this 20 years ago

I’ve gained such clarity on things that I’ve questioned and misunderstood for so long. The teachings found in this book should be foundational in Christian teachings, but sadly I think not enough people are educated on the subjects in this book. I do love that it was narrated by Lysa also. I’ve listened to other books of hers that she didn’t narrate, but definitely should have. Saying that, I recommend all of her books but if I were to only read one, this is the one!

A lot of wisdom on how to better love others and ourselves.

This was such a great read and divine information. Lysa shares so many great insights and approaches to challenging situations and relationships. Her story is relatable and inspiring. She even gives examples and action steps to try as you step into a path where dysfunctional relationships and behavior are no longer acceptable. It allows you to love and accept others while staying true to your own soul.

Reminding myself that I’m not responsible for others decisions

There were so many relatable moments in this book. I especially found it helpful in knowing how to verbalize my boundaries in a way that sounds reasonable to others.

So very helpful!

Faith
This book was so very helpful to me. I am buying a hard copy as well so that I can refer often to the supportive scripture references.

Best boundaries book ever

I’ve read several books on boundaries and this is the most helpful and heartfelt one yet! Thank you Lysa for being vulnerable enough to share your story and point us all back to Christ while teaching us healthy Biblical boundaries. I needed this more than words can say.

Enlightening

Very heartfelt, biblical quotes, a plan for a new future for people who have lost sight of their path and faith. Reaffirming that hope is not lost.
