Customer Reviews

this is the workbook not the main book

read the description carefully, the images look alike, you may want the main book and not this adjunct

Not what I expected

I thought I was buying the ‘boundaries’ book, but it was the participants guide. My fault for not reading description clearly. I did not realize this was bible based. Not at all what I wanted. The original book blurb barely mentions anything about God, and I’m not opposed to referencing spirituality, but I am not using this as a faith-based guide so it is useless to me.

Disappointed

I received both the book and workbook today.......I did not receive the printing version pictured above. Very disappointed ☹️

BOUNDRIES

BOUNDRIES CAN DESCRIBE MANY DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF LIFE. DR. HENRY CLOUD AND TOWNSEND HAVE OPENELY AND WITH GREAT DETAIL GIVEN US FANTASTIC TOOLS FOR CREATING AND MAINTAINING BOUNDRIES IN OUR LIVES. NOT ONLY PERSONALLY, BUT THEY HAVE ALSO WRITTEN OTHER BOUNDRIES BOOKS ON MARRIAGE ETC. THE WORK BOOK GUIDES ARE AN ADDED BONUS. THESE DOCUMENTS GIVE THE INDIVIDUAL THE CAPABILITY TO GO BACK AND READ THEIR RESPONSES. ALL OF WHICH RESULT IN A DEEP, SPIRITUAL JOURNEY WHICH TAPS INTO THE VERY CORE OF YOUR SOUL. A MUST READ FOR ALL. JUST LOVED IT. ALSO I WILL BE ATTENDING A SEMINAR ON BOUNDRIES OF MARRIAGE. THESE GUIDE BOOKS ARE LIKE TOOLS TO A CARPENTER. DON'T DELAY, ENRICH YOUR MIND AND SOUL.

A workbook that rivals its original text

A wonderful workbook to say the least. If you are not familiar with the series, it really works well for nonsecular purposes as well. Information about boundaries is brought forth in a very sensible and non emotional way. The approach is more thoughtful than most nonsecular texts as the spiritual side of our souls is brought into play. What I find most remarkable about this book as that it works so well with the book and the series if you are taking it as a study. The workbook can be used alone without the group study, and asks more probing questions when it comes to defining your own personal boundaries. This book goes futher than the book does in asking you what lies behind your boundary issues. I can't give enough high praise of this book and the questions that it asks. This is meant to be used along with the book Boundaries, and I would highly recommend purchasing them together.

Helpful workbook...

I purchased both the Boundaries book and the Boundaries workbook. I would highly recommend that people purchase both. Sometimes when you are just reading a book, the information "goes in one ear and out the other" but with the workbook, you are asked to apply what you have learned to your own life - therefore helping you retain it better. This is a definately a great companion to the actual "Boundaries" book and very helpful with the issue of boundary setting.

Boundaries

I read the book and also went through an 8 week course taught by a woman/friend from my church. We used the video tape, the workbook and the bible, it was the most incredible teaching that I have ever experienced and literally has changed my life in the boundary department. I was always saying yes when I wanted to say no. I wanted people to think I was really nice when all the while I was worn out, stressed out and burned out. Though I am a Christian, I was a new Christian at the time and really wasn't up for something really churchy. It was perfect for where I was at and I would recommend it to anyone whatever their spritual belief's might be. I strongly recommend the video, so you can see what we do to ourselves on a daily basis without boundaries in our lives. Thank you for the opportunity to share this. Hope it will help others with their BOUNDARIES in life. Sincerely, Pamela K. Hayes (just got married)
