There are several case studies or examples of people who have gone through life thinking they were helping others, when in reality, they were actually enabling others to continue in whatever difficulty or struggle they were in, and worse yet, deepen the bonds of unhealthy interactions that have been coined "co-dependent".
I rate this book right up there with Dr. Larry Crabb's excellent book, "Inside Out". It is my opinion that anyone who struggles with how to relate to others in a healthy way (who doesn't?) ought to at least consider adding these two books to their inventory.
Boundaries by Cloud and Townsend does not bash you with a lot of "Christian-ese", but it is written with a Christian orientation. Even those ! unsure of such a foundation ought to consider this book anyway because it rings true. If you have a church library, this book should DEFINITELY be in it.

Using the Biblical story of Abraham as a backdrop, Blackaby covers several principles of a closer relationship with God, including:
1. God's silences are opportunities for our faith to grow.
2. Many times a long period of time may take place between God's promise and its actual fulfillment.
3. When we unconditionally release our lives to God, He will work through us to be a blessing to others for His glory.
4. God always takes the initiative with us and requires total faith in Him.
5. God will reveal His purpose when our heart totally belongs to Him.
6. God will use difficult circumstances in our lives to teach us dependence on Him instead of self-reliance.
7. God took several years to mold Abraham into the man He wanted him to be.
8. Nothing is too difficult for God!
An excellent and highly recommended read!
