From Lauren Bell:
THE BLESSING OF BOUNDARIES

Boundaries
are a concept, a principle that threads its way
through Scripture. God used boundaries to define
the universe, separating time from eternity,
then matter from space. “In the beginning God
created the heavens and the earth.”
By learning to see boundaries as a practical
means for
living, God’s children can know His design for
their lives and flourish within the limitations
He sets. The premise of this book is that the
most secure and satisfying place for the
believer is within the boundaries God designed
from the beginning of time. These limits are His
gift to us, a blessing to enjoy rather than a
restriction to ignore, scorn or reject.
For the
doers out there, please consider this an
invitation to rest, not a “how to” list. If,
however, you are one who has been content to
focus just on the “only” part of what you feel
God calling you to do with your life, perhaps
you need this reminder that He also wants you to
do “all” that He has planned for you. As you
journey through these heart thoughts, I pray God
will use them to illuminate your boundaries and
reassure you of His love. This love is not based
on performance but on the unchanging,
unsearchable wisdom of His will. “Yea, I have
loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore
with loving kindness have I drawn thee.”
(Jeremiah 31:3, KJV)
I am confident you will find the richest
blessing of your life as you relax within the
boundaries of His arms.

“Thanks so much for allowing me to read The
Blessing of Boundaries! A real treat – and
wonderfully moving and provocative of meditation
and reflection on the Word and on the grace of
our God.”
~ Pastor Paul Settle
“It has often been suggested that burnout,
disillusionment, and overwhelming fatigue are
simply inevitable for the Christian laborer.
The Blessing of Boundaries shows that
concept to be not only false, but also
unnecessary and unscriptural. We are truly
blessed by boundaries. This book shows us how to
apply and obey the principles that release great
blessings into our lives.”
~ Christianna Reed
“Where do I begin? The book is wonderful. It is
helpful; it is passionate. It is personal. And,
there is so much beauty and poetry in the way
you write! Celebrating beauty is a surprising
subtext to this book. Of course, who could help
but be in love when the Author of love and
beauty becomes real? You have also managed to
write a very clear manual on how to have a
successful ministry. I think if one were to
follow all the steps you have laid out, almost
anyone could be successful! Indeed, each person
would be more useful just in her personal life.
Thank you. I have learned so much. The constant
weaving of your personal journey with Scripture
was so poignant and illuminating.”
