They're struggling with a theology that was never fully examined: the belief that saying no is unbiblical, that limits are selfish, that a woman who truly loves God will always find a way to do more.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSacred No\u003c\/i\u003e dismantles that belief - gently, biblically, and completely. This is not a book designed to shame you for serving. It is a book that sets you free from serving out of fear. Drawing on the Gospels, the letters of Paul, and the rhythm of Jesus' own ministry, it makes the case that boundaries are not a failure of love - they are an act of stewardship. And that an unlimited yes to everyone around you may, in fact, be a quiet no to God.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis book gives you three things most Christian boundaries books never combine: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe theological foundation.\u003c\/b\u003e Four Gospel snapshots of Jesus setting limits.
