A practical handbook on positive confrontation by the authors of the award-winning and best-selling Boundaries Successful people confront well. They know that setting healthy boundaries improves relationships. They have discovered that uncomfortable---even dangerous---situations can often be avoided or resolved through direct conversation. But most of us don''t know how to go about having difficult conversations. We see confrontation as scary or adversarial. We''re afraid to ask a boss for a raise or talk to a relative about a drinking problem, or even address a relational conflict with a spouse or someone we are dating. In Boundaries Face to Face authors Cloud and Townsend take the principles from their best-selling book Boundaries and apply them to a variety of the most common difficult situations and relationships. * Explains why confrontation is essential in all arenas of life * Shows how healthy confrontation can improve relationships * Presents the essentials of a good boundary-setting conversation * Provides tips on how to prepare for the conversation * Shows how to tell people what you want, how to stop bad behavior, and how to deal with counterattack * Gives actual examples of conversations to have with your spouse, your date, your kids, your coworker, your boss, your parents, and more From the Book Sometimes people get confused in a confrontation because the other person gets them off track. If that happens, remember this formula. Empathize with their feelings or position, and return to your issue. Here''s an example. Joe: ''I can''t believe you were offended by my comments. You joke around more than anyone here. That''s pretty hypocritical.'' You: ''I understand it''s hard for you to see, and I''m glad you meant it as a joke and weren''t trying to be hurtful. What I''m telling you, though, and what I don''t want you to miss, is how it affected me. It hurt me and I don''t want to be talked to like that.''

Escrito por Cloud y Townsend, autores de Límites para nuestros hijos, este libro cuenta con consejos bíblicos y prácticos para todo cristiano. ¿Está tu vida sin control? ¿siente que la gente te utiliza? ¿Le es difícil decir que no? ¿Está desilusionado con Dios por falta de respuesta a tus oraciones? Establecer límites claros es esencial para obtener un estilo de vida sano y balanceado. Un límite es un línea de propiedad personal que marca las cosas de las que somos responsables. En otras palabras, límites es lo que define quiénes somos, o quiénes no somos. Los límites afectan diferentes aspectos de nuestras vidas: Los límites físicos nos ayudan a determinar quién nos puede tocar y bajo qué circunstancia. Los límites mentales nos dan la libertad de tener ideas y opiniones propias. Los límites emocionales nos ayudan a tratar con nuestras propias emociones y a librarnos de las emociones dañinas y manipuladoras de otros. Los límites espirituales nos ayudan a distinguir entre la voluntad de Dios y la nuestra, y nos dan temor de Dios. Los doctores Henry Cloud y John Townsend ofrecen respuestas bíblicas a preguntas difíciles, a la vez que nos muestran cómo poner límites sanos con nuestros padres, nuestros cónyuges, nuestros hijos, nuestros amigos, nuestros compañeros de trabajo, y hasta con nosotros mismos.

Cloud and Townsend debunk some Christian myths, or assumptions, that prevent true healing and spiritual growth. The 12 Assumptions that they deal with include: "It''s selfish to have my needs met," "If I''m spiritual enough, I will have no pain or sinfulness," "If I change my behavior, I will grow spiritually and emotionally," "I just need to give it to the Lord," "One day, I''ll be fimished with recovery," "Leave the past behind," "If I have God, I don''t need people," "''Shoulds'' are good," "Guilt and shame are good for me," "If I make right choices, I will grow spiritually," "Just doing the right thing is more important than why I do it," and "If I know the truth, I will grow" --provided by publisher.

In this groundbreaking work, the author zeroes in on four basic developmental decisions that all of us must negotiate in order to deal with our inner pain and distress and to enable us to function and grow emotionally and spiritually -- and make sense of our world.
