- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I Loved this book!! After a second failed marriage ( to the same man ) and three young adults I knew it was time to do something different. I read Boundaries first and I cried when I realized I had absolutely no boundaries. The road was hard but it was worth traveling, I found a me that I never knew exist, no more seattling and trying to make everyone happy. Now two years later I am ready to go beyound boundaries. Thank you Dr. Townsend for all the scripture references. Please keep allowing God to use you. Blessings

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is a perfect continuation of the previous book that I know from this author (Boundaries - When to Say Yes, How to Say No). It is very clear, answers all your questions before you would ask them. Great summary and advice about boundaries, relationships and trust. It's a pity that I cannot buy it in my local language.
