Today\u2019s guest on The Crystal Paine Show is someone who has\xa0been on the show before and you all loved that episode.\xa0So when the opportunity came up to have her back on the show one more time, I jumped on it, especially when I saw the title of her new book,\xa0Good Boundaries and Goodbyes: Loving Others Without Losing the Best of Who You Are!
In this episode, Lysa TerKeurst discusses where she gets her ideas for her books, primarily her struggles and what they show her she needs to improve and work on. She also elaborates on what the word\xa0boundaries\xa0means to her and how she has learned what boundaries are from the Bible, the difference between being selfish and demonstrating self-control, how boundaries help prevent unpleasant extremes and what to do if those extremes take place anyway, and so much more.
I am so appreciative of Lysa for her friendship, for being on the show, and for having written this new book. If you are someone who struggles with setting boundaries with people and/or feel like you\u2019re being selfish if and when you do, then I strongly recommend that you pick up a copy!
