The Best of You
“Many of us are seeking ways to live healthier lives within ourselves, the world around us, and in our relationships. Through the therapeutic advice in The Best of You, Dr. Alison Cook leads us to ask important questions and work through key strategies so the best of who God intended and desires for us to be can develop. The path toward this kind of healing is not always easy, but it is possible. I hope you will let this beautiful and transformative book show you how!”

“Dr. Alison Cook brilliantly yet practically identifies common misconceptions in our relationships, including our relationship with God. The Best of You weaves together psychology and theology in a profoundly prophetic way, leading us toward the gift God has provided since the days in the garden of Eden—redemption. Dr. Cook gives us the best of herself as a gentle guide and trusted companion.”
Monique S. Gadson, PhD, LPC
therapist, and assistant professor of Counseling Psychology at The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology
“Alison’s breathtakingly wise work builds upon the theology and psychology of the true self from sages like Thomas Merton and Henri Nouwen, but takes a giant leap forward in its approachability and practicality. An immensely helpful and profoundly deep guide to living from your true self!”
