In The Best of You, Dr. Cook reveals the hurtful impact of childhood wounds, the negative effects of certain church messages, and the misguided influences of cultural biases. Readers walk with her through tough questions that they may have. With real-time reflection that prompts readers to embrace their own stories--even the painful parts--Dr. Cook points women to a loving God who truly sees them and wants their good. With God's help, they discover a path to healing that includes the holy, sacred work of learning to pay attention to themselves. The Best of You teaches women how to move from the exhaustion of managing perceptions to the joy of true connection with themselves, God, and other people.
