Good Boundaries and Goodbyes: Loving Others Without Losing the Best of Who You Are by Lysa TerKeurst
Product details
Web ID: 15322245The best book I’ve ever read. Thank you, Lysa 🥹
I’ve recently experienced a very hard and traumatic breakup after I thought were the best years of my life. I found myself completely and utterly broken, back home with my parents…. With both my kids, and all my stuff…. Just completely broken and lost. I felt myself sink to a new level of “low” I’ve never experienced, and I knew I needed to do something. I casually came across this book, and bought it after reading the back, hoping and praying it would help me process all of my my pain. Not only did this book help me realize a lot about myself, it truly helped me establish those boundaries I needed for everyone in my life and also made me feel less guilty for those goodbyes I made - the ones I recently made, and the ones I made many many years ago. It helped me find healing through God. I’ve never felt this kind of fullness in my heart. I just finished reading the book yesterday, and I’m still amazed at the transformation it’s helped me do. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone struggling with establishing any and all boundaries (friends, family, spouses, etc.), and dealing with the unsettling pain and/or guilt of goodbyes.

Title does reveal what is coming.
Excellent! Most appropriate information. Incredibly helpful for everyday relationships for just about anyone who is interested in becoming a better person. Very very helpful, and at times humorous.

Best boundary book
This is one of the most helpful, cover-all books I’ve ever read. Rather you’re a Believer or not, it will help you. This book covers a broad basis of hard topics, helps clear up doubt and fear, and much more. She and her counselor really dive deep into many subjects like codependency, people pleasing, gaslighting, and what to do when these things come up. I have not read much like this that gives such gracious, truthful, pointed advice.

A Powerful and 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
