I have been impressed over the years by the care and diligence of the Shepherd's House staff in thinking through and developing their approach. They have a awesome grasp of developmental issues and how to help the traumatized. I know of no one offering a more innovative and thorough approach. -- Dr. Ken Canfield, Presiden, National Center for Fathering

The Life Model is be best model I have seen for bringin Christ to the center of counseling and restoring the disintegrating community fabric within Christian churches. -- Dr. Dallas Willard, Professor of Philosopy, USC

The Life Model offers a Christ-centered approach to helping one another live out the abundant life God has promised. -- Ruth Van Reken

Product Description
This book is for leaders of the church and for wounded in the church community.

Experiencing God, loving one another, and bearing each other's burdens will become richer and more natural as you learn more about receiving and giving life. The Life Model is about receiving and giving life, reaching a higher level of maturity, receiving healing for life's inevitable traumas, and having you live governed by the joy of the Lord.

Reader Reviews
I am very impressed with both the brevity and clarity that this little book brings to some of the most difficult cases of abuse we handle. The book is both a clear and concise description of the true Christian lifestyle but also a manual for minister and abused alike. Major topics we continually use during ministry from the book are Maturity Levels, Fear and Love Bonding, Types of Trauma, Healing in Community, and Spiritual Adoption. Our organization, The Dwelling Place, gives a copy of this book to each man visiting us for ministry. (We minister to men, women and children dealing with the results of many forms of abuse.) Highly recommended for multiple reads...
