Take the high roads

Life is a journey, a series of significant steps one takes, sometimes forward, sometimes backward, but always important. --Dr. SUJAY One of Dr. Cook's primary goals in MOVING UP is to capture reader's spirit and advance them to what she terms an 'UPness'. Her ten steps, on which she offers in-depth teachings, are simply: Stand Up, Speak Up, Look Up, Book Up, Kiss Up, Listen Up, Hang Up, Make Up, Wake Up and Cheer Up. Dr. Cook shares a priceless message that liberates and invigorates, and which does not bow to negative forces. Whether your nemesis is a changing career, dealing with the challenges of life and age, or simply relocating to another city, you can face these situations head-on, and with every confidence. With biblical references and doses of her life, as a wife, mother and pastor, Dr. Cook underscores each one of the steps. At the end of the chapters are suggestion and short exercises to further enhance the messages. All of the chapters are expressive and informative, but the chapters on finding the clear beginning and clear ending of relationships, refusing to stay offended and practicing forgiveness, are excellent. MOVING UP charts only ten 'ups', but Dr. Cook hopes each reader will incorporate some ups of their own and take them to a higher level. Dr. Cook is deeply rooted in her religion, and along with her message on the importance of having God in your life, she also shares the blessings for the natural side of life, but only if you stay focused, committed and positive. This is a wonderfully uplifting and inspiring read. Reviewed by aNN of The RAWSISTAZ(tm) Reviewers
