Why didn't I know this before!

Twenty-three men & women took this class (studied the book & workbook) together over 12 weeks and virtually everyone said the same thing. Why didn't I know this when I was 18? Why didn't I learn this earlier? Helps in every area of life from the closest personal relationships to work/school associates to neighbors to non-personal encounters anywhere. You'll learn how to "handle" all kinds of situations and people in the most effective possible way, and in a way that will bring you the most satisfaction and success. Our class has formed a small conversation and reading group and have studied other Cloud and Townsend books, and we've all made huge changes for the better in every area of our lives. Biblically based.

Good materials, but not what we thought

This is a good Leader's Guide for the Boundaries book, but it's not exactly what we were looking for...First of all, to fully take advantage of what the book offers, you'll need the Leaders' Guide, a Bible, the Boundaries book, a VCR, and the Boundaries Video (it said this in the "Laying the Foundation" section of this Leader's Guide). I believe all of these Boundaries materials are included in the Boundaries Kit which our group did not purchase. We only had the Boundaries books and the Leaders' Guide. We probably would have done better to purchase the Boundaries Workbook which I believe is better for small group discussion when you don't have the entire kit. I hope this is helpful in deciding which references you want to use in your group!
