Story
There are times in life when we look back and want time to stand still, particularly when we get blindsided by unexpected changes. But we can’t stop the flow of life, and we can’t stop time. What’s more, looking back doesn’t enable us to go back. More often than not, it just makes us stuck. In a place. In a space. In a memory. In a mindset. In a habit. With a rallying cry to “remember Lot’s wife,” Bible teacher, speaker, activist, and author Christine Caine motivates us to stop looking back, to get unstuck, and to keep moving forward into God’s promises and purposes for our lives.

Through personal experience and countless conversations, speaker and Bible teacher Jennie Allen has come to realize that most of us need to unlearn some deeply damaging messages about our emotions. We've been taught, for example, that emotions are untrustworthy when, in fact, they are a gift from God to help us notice what is wrong and where we need to heal. Your emotions are not something to suppress or ignore. They are meant to be felt, examined, and shared.
Publisher's Summary
2024 ECPA CHRISTIAN BOOK AWARD - AUDIOBOOK OF THE YEAR
READ BY THE AUTHOR
Relationships are wonderful . . . until they're not.
Stop the dysfunction of unhealthy relationships and learn biblical ways to set boundaries--and, when necessary, say goodbye.
Is it unloving or selfish to set a boundary with family members or friends? Are Christians ever called to walk away from a relationship that’s no longer safe or sustainable? #1 New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst deeply understands these hard questions in the midst of relational struggles.
After thousands of hours of counseling intensives and extensive theological research that transformed the way she defined healthy relationships, Lysa is now more committed than ever to loving people well without losing the best of who she is.
In these pages, Lysa will help you:
- Understand the five factors to remember when implementing healthy boundaries.
- Determine the appropriate amount of personal and emotional access someone has to you.
- Stop being misled and emotionally paralyzed by wrongly interpreted or weaponized Bible verses that perpetuate unhealthy relationships.
- Be equipped with effective boundary-setting tools, such as realistic scripts and practical strategies for healthier communication.
- Be empowered to say goodbye without guilt when a relationship has shifted from difficult to destructive.
- Receive therapeutic wisdom you can trust directly from Lysa’s Christian counselor Jim Cress, who weighs in throughout the book.
You'll be relieved to learn that boundaries aren't just a good idea, they're a God idea.
Look for additional biblically based resources and devotionals from Lysa:
- Forgiving What You Can't Forget
- It's Not Supposed to Be This Way
- Uninvited
- You're Going to Make It
- Embraced
- Seeing Beautiful Again

So helpful and encouraging! Highly recommended.
This book is literally where my life is at. It has helped me significantly with what I need to try and do next to stop the repeated cycles and dysfunction I am currently experiencing. I took 26 pages of notes that I will now be living out. The book is helpful, practical and most importantly scripturally sound. I love how Lysa reads it herself, it personalises it and you fully know the heart of the author.

an unexpected ugly discovery about myself.
This is such a great book.
I love Lysa's link back to scripture throughout.
I loved Jim's helpful physiological insightful nuggets.
I cried with Lysa as she shared her lived good bye and how God had been preparing her for this even as a teen. So many emotions and thankfulness to Gods sovereignty.
I think the think I found the hardest about this book is realizing that I have been a person that is unsafe and uncaring in relationships.
I need to let my heart be gutted (house analogy) so I can learn to love and trust the way God intended.
I definitely recommend this book even if relationships seem good.

Book if you want Christian literature
Majority of the book speaks about versus in bible, suited for Christians.
Author herself is not prefected on her boundaries and also mentions this.
Waste of time and no value gained.
