Book on boundaries?

[saw]

I seem to remember that someone here has posted a recommendation or two for a book on boundaries, specifically, setting boundaries with family members who are overstepping. Any ideas? It was a while back I think.

Many thanks.

I wonder if it was this one?

I don't know, though

This is the one often talked about here.  It is a pretty good book.

Thanks very much. This looks like it could be the one. I see from the description that it is Christian-based. Is it any particular "flavor" of Christianity? I'm Christian but would be uncomfortable with a book that based its recommendations entirely on scripture, for example.

It is written by Christians,but it does not come across as particularly conservative. There are bible verses used but they do not dominate the text. Basically they are used to support the ideas and information in the book. The advice in the book would be helpful to anyone,not just Christians.

Yes, it is more "generic" Christian versus a particular type.  Some books on these types of issues emphasize "turning the other check" far, far more than I feel is appropriate.  This one is very much about healthy relationships within a Christian setting.
