Bringing ‘Boundaries’ to the Digital Age

New York Times Bestseller Celebrates 25 Years, Two Million Copies Sold with Updated & Expanded Edition Dealing with Added Pressures of Technology   

Grand Rapids, Mich., July 18, 2017 — Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life has been a perennial bestseller since it was originally released 25 years ago. Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend have updated and expanded their evergreen relationship advice to help readers create boundaries in today’s digital age. Available October 2017, Boundaries is refreshed throughout with an added section on boundaries and technology as well as new advice on online dating, single parenting and the workplace.

In today’s technology soaked world, creating boundaries is more important than ever. In the updated Boundaries, Drs. Cloud and Townsend help readers apply the timeless Boundaries principles to marriage, parenting and work to create a balanced, healthy lifestyle despite social media, work creeping into personal time and temptations on the internet.

In Boundaries, Cloud and Townsend present a biblical view of boundaries: what they are, what they protect, how they are developed, how they are injured and how to use them. The authors help readers use boundaries appropriately to achieve the relationships and purposes God intends.

Experiencing a resurgence in the past three years, Boundarieshit the New York Times bestseller list for the first time in February 2015 and continues to grow in popularity. Boundaries has sold more than two million copies and the Boundaries brand including Boundaries in Marriage, Boundaries with Kids and Boundaries in Dating has sold more than three million copies.
