I think every one should own this book
I could not put this book down. It has so many insightful aspects like what good boundaries are, why they matter, what goodbyes are and when they're needed. I have highlighted so many areas of this book to go back to in my life. One thing that Lysa has taught me that I will never forget is that it's required for a Christian to forgive but reconciliation is not a requirement because in certain circumstances even Jesus walked away. It's biblical to set boundaries as well as say goodbyes when permitted with discernment, prayer, and biblical context. I love how Lysa shared her experiences and in parts of the book (especially the last couple chapters) she pours her heart out and I related to her on so many levels. I think everyone should own this book. She also has resources at the end to help you find a Christian counselor near you and addresses how abuse is NEVER okay and Jesus does Not want abuse for us or for us to be stuck in the vicious cycle that pertains with it. I felt like Lysa was personally talking to me, down to earth, relatable, and this message is what I needed to hear at the exact right time.

I just received this book today and the cover and binder are sliced with what looks to be from a box cutter. This is a Christmas gift so it is too late to return.

    A Powerfuland Practical Resource on Boundaries
    In her new book Good Boundaries and Goodbyes, bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst helps her readers develop a biblically-grounded view of setting boundaries and walking away from unhealthy relationships. Through her own story of struggles in her marriage and some friendships, she walks alongside her audience in the process of learning how to love others without losing themselves. After many years of counseling and intense theological study, Lysa learned that boundaries are a biblical idea, going back to the Garden of Eden when Adam and Eve first sinned, and that we have to know ourselves well enough to know our own emotional capacity so we can set boundaries to prevent someone from taking away our emotional capacity. She gives five key factors to remember when setting boundaries as well as insights into Scriptures that are misinterpreted to call boundaries into question. She also gives tools to help you determine when a relationship has become destructive enough that it's time to walk away and advice on how to make peace when it's time to say goodbye, whether the separation is for a time or is permanent. There is also practical advice at the end of most of the chapter from Lysa's counselor Jim Cress with more tools on your journey to understanding boundaries. This book is very honest and practical as it speaks from Lysa's hard-earned wisdom on a difficult topic. The biblical ideas and tools here are essential concepts for Christian women who desire to maintain both relational and emotional health. This is a book I highly recommend. * I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher for the purpose of this review

    Healthy Boundaries are Biblical
    Good Boundaries and Goodbyes is an exceptionally encouraging book for all readers. Whether you are navigating a difficult relationship with a family member, spouse, friend, or colleague, this book will give you tangible tools on how to best develop healthy and relational boundaries. Integrating scripture within this book, as well as counsel from Lysa's own counselor, Jim Cress, the book teaches the reader biblically how God designed healthy boundaries and the book uses many biblical examples, as well as current present-day examples from personal experiences. I personally have gained much insight into the perspective of God's design in relationships and glorifying Him in the process of these relationships. I highly recommend this book to readers of all adult ages, as one can always learn better what God's word states on His great plans for us to prosper and give us hope in our futures. He wants what is best for us. So let's take a deep dive into what He so clearly teaches us and become healthy and whole in the process!
