The Life Model: Living from the Heart Jesus Gave You
Friesen, Wilder, Bierling, Koepcke, Poole

The Life Model is a unifying approach to ministries of counseling, recovery, pastoral care, prayer ministry, deliverance, inner healing, child rearing, body life and health.  Because the Life Model develops strong maturity, it is widely used as a church model, particularly where people must face suffering.  Many major ministries dealing with trauma and abuse in the USA use the Life Model as part of their teaching.  It gives you practical steps on how to mature, identifies specific ways to heal traumas and challenges you to change and grow and be the person that God designed you to be.

Living With Men
E. James Wilder

How God designed men to grow and mature.  this is the most complete description of Life Model maturity in print. It includes Stages of Infant, Child, Adult, Parent, and Elder. A complete guide to men's thoughts, goals, relationships, desires and malfunctions, and how to seek out corrective experiences for those elements of development that were missed.

Trauma impacts the various levels of the brain's control center differently.  The correct Skills and Interventions must be applied to effectively resolve pain in the brain's control center.  If you are involved in prayer ministry, you will find this an invaluable resource that could change the way you work.

One of our primary goals at Set Apart Ministries is to encourage and support maturity in all ways within the Body of Messiah, particularly through the Life Model process and the development of covenant relationships. (Ephesians 4: 10-16, 1 Corinthians 13: 11)  This is an audio teaching that applies the Life Model principles to maturity in prayer life. The CD is a approximately 2 hours in length and contains introductory comments, presentation of the Basic Life Model teachings, general application to spiritual growth and love/fear bonds and then a group discussion about our members' experiences in living the Life Model over the past six years as it applies to individual and corporate growth and maturity in prayer life.  It has been professionally recorded with musical interludes.
 
It is appropriate for a general Christian audience. We emphasize the appropriateness of self-assessment when it comes to one's personal prayer life, but we also think the material will be useful for groups, prompting discussion on this topic.

This book goes beyond the nature-nurture divisions that traditionally have constrained much of our thinking about development, exploring the role of interpersonal relationships in forging key connections in the brain.  Siegel presents a groundbreaking new way to thinking about the emergence of the human mind - the process by which each of us becomes a feeling, thinking, remembering individual.  Illuminating how and why neurobiology matters, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in human experience and development across the life span.
