Summary of John Townsend's Beyond Boundaries

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Part 1 looks at how trust is broken in relationships, and what happens to the person on the receiving end. It explores the role that healthy boundaries play in protecting and healing people from further damage. #2 We are designed to seek out relationship and hope that it will be a positive thing. We experience a draw to find someone outside of our own skin with whom we can share life. We want someone to understand us and help us find solutions to our problems. #3 We are drawn to connection because we want and need it at a deep level that cannot be ignored. It can be pleasurable and fulfilling to love and be loved, and it can be painful and unfulfilling when things break down. #4 Trust is the oil that keeps the relational machinery running smoothly. It is not a luxury, but a vital component for any good relationship. Without trust, relationships cannot flourish.
