1: very thorough

2: Boundaries workbook review
Follows the latest edition of the book adequately and provokes some good discussion; however the related DVD is not as effective as I would have liked.

3: there is freedom in setting boundaries!
This is a great book. I encourage anyone who has issues with setting boundaries for themselves or if you find yourself butting heads with other people more often than not, to read this book!
It gets a little redundant towards the end of the book but the message is powerful and the authors quote scripture to support the position that it's ok to say no and take of yourself (physical, mental, emotional,spiritual). We are responsible for our own lives and should be encouraged to not let any person or situation overwhelm us to the point where we feel enslaved to what we think God wants us to do.I also like there is no blaming other people for ones unhapiness. We are essentially in control of our own lives and who we allow to be a part of it. I especially like the chapter where they talk about "family of origin" as it relates to and is distringuished from our spiritual family.
This is an excellent book with a Christian perspective on how one can successfuly achieve and maintain a healthy and happy life. The title does not reveal that this is a biblical text but anyone who is familiar with Dr. Cloud and Dr. Townsend knows that God is the source of all their work.
Read, learn, apply and be blessed.

4: As a supplement to the class: Boundaries
I taught this class and required the Participants Guide, but recommended the Workbook. If I were to do this again, I would more strongly recommend the Workbook, as it goes much further into study and is much more helpful and rewarding. The very nature of this study - is on a schedule (it tries to keep its boundaries!), means that it often brushes over very complex and valuable information, whereas the Workbook really causes the reader to think about the information and digest it more completely. I would recommend this book, even without the class.

5: Retain more information
The workbook helps by making you think about what you have just read. You retain more of the valuable information. The questions and comments are great.
