Becoming More Human Exploring the Interface of Spirituality, Discipleship and Therapeutic Faith Community
Holmes, Peter R.
Becoming More Human Exploring the Interface of Spirituality, Discipleship and Therapeutic Faith Community Peter R. Holmes - U.S.A Paternoster 2005 - 322tr. Paperback 23cm
We are watching the collapse of the traditional Western church. New models are desperately needed to give postmodern people a reason to follow Christ. In Becoming More Human, Peter Holmes presents a theoretical framework for a new type of local congregation — what he refers to as a therapeutic faith community — based on a clinical model that has been running very successfully for a number of years at Christ Church Deal in the UK. The author outlines a journey of therapeutic discipleship change toward Christ-likeness, using a Biblical pneuma-psychology and therapeutic process developed over 35 years. He explains how `out of the box` thinking can lead to a particularly vibrant community life attractive to the un-churched.
