Good Boundaries and Goodbyes: Loving Others Without Losing the Best of Who You Are

Lysa TerKeurst offers biblical approaches to setting boundaries in relationships and, when necessary, ending them while maintaining your sense of self. The book addresses situations where relationships have become unhealthy or dysfunctional—when you recognize that something must change, when your efforts to fix things aren't working, or when a relationship feels impossible despite your love for the person. TerKeurst teaches that boundaries are not unloving or unchristian, but rather a biblical principle. She provides guidance on setting boundaries you can maintain, communicating them effectively, and seeing them take effect in your relationships. The book draws from TerKeurst's personal experiences with boundaries, theological research, and therapeutic insights. It aims to give readers the biblical wisdom and confidence to pursue healthy relationships while remaining true to themselves.
