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.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Peter R.
