it was decent. the formatting made me stressed 😇. like there are definitely some really beautiful truths in there but why did i have to sift through so many quotes (from people more qualified may i add), retellings of traumatic stories, and cliche and superficial phrasing 😭 oh yeah also i'm not sure about the "claiming your spiritual authority". get it, you little charismatic! 😍
girl power tho i guess 😜

I've read the other Boundaries books from Allison Bottke. SETTING BOUNDARIES FOR WOMEN is a perfect mixture of how-to information combined with stories and Scripture to help you take action and change.

I love what Bottke writes in the introduction, "As Christians, we need to know that setting boundaries isn't about controlling every aspect of our environment. That's truly impossible. Rather, it's about knowing when and how we can and should exercise control by setting boundaries as the Holy Spirit guides us. When we know something must change--in our own lives, of course, not in someone else's, regardless of how much we may think he or she needs to change. I hope that's why you bought this book--you're aware of your need, and now you just want direction and perhaps permission to move ahead." (Page 15)

I believe many women will find liberation and freedom in the pages of this book as they read it and apply it to their every day life. I recommend SETTING BOUNDARIES FOR WOMEN.

This is an excellent book and a must read for ALL women! Please buy this book, read it and share it with a friend. I gave this book 5/5 stars. I thought the author did an excellent job of being open about her own personal struggles and ways she learned to overcome by using boundaries. I liked the advice given. From leaning on others to looking at what really matters in your life, you will learn where you need boundaries and how to set them up. This book is perfect for the woman who does not know when to say no or let’s people take advantage of her because she wants everyone to like her. I would recommend this book for all women and will definitely be reading this book again and again!

I would like to thank the publisher for the copy of this book I enjoyed reading. I gave an honest review based on my opinion of what I read.
