The Life Model was assembled by the Shepherd’s House staff and took several years to write from the contributions of Dr. James Friesen, Dr. Jim Wilder, Anne Bierling, Rick Koepcke and Maribeth Poole. This strong group of men and women were studying the reasons why some people who came for help would heal and grow while others stayed in trouble. Concepts in the Life Model (like maturity) are based on what people would look like if we did things right instead of an average of how most people turn out at each age. The five factors identified in this book that help people change are: having a place to belong, receiving and giving life, learning to recover from things that go wrong, maturing and getting to know our hearts. These five became known as the “five to thrive.” The staff decided to write as condensed a book as possible on these five factors. It was also decided that the book would be aimed at the communities who were trying to make a difference in people’s lives rather than an academic audience. Living From The Heart Jesus Gave You is not a book on theology. This book is about being fully alive and, for that reason, Christians from many different doctrinal convictions have been able to use our model. This book is now in several languages and being translated into new languages by a wide assortment of groups that do not usually share much in common. It is short but not a quick to read book. You will need to stop and think a few times.
