Alignment of Authentic Love: Living Your Highest Life
What good is your theology if you can't enjoy God's love, loathe yourself, and people are
constantly an irritant to you?
If you have ever felt condemned, that you do not measure up, afraid of the day ahead of you, worried about "doing" what God wants, trying to be what you think you are supposed to be, and never feeling like you have done enough, this book is for you.
Few people enjoy a relationship with the Divine. Most simply hope not to upset Him any more than they believe He already is with them and their failures. Because they do not understand His true nature and identity, they do not know their own identity, which makes it difficult to enjoy or love who they are. When you do not love yourself, it's difficult to have healthy relationships with people or a relationship of love and trust with the Source of all life
Learn how to ...
• Enjoy a dynamic relationship with a loving God.
• Come to terms with past trauma to embrace and love yourself.
• Be free emotionally to have healthy, loving relationships with others.
• Release anxieties and worries to enjoy mental, emotional, and spiritual peace and rest.

A book you’ll want to read over and over again!
If you want to know who God is, who you are, and who others are to God and to you, than this book is a must-read.
Author Scott Cook does a fantastic job in showing us our true God (not the one we’ve conjured up in our heads) who loves us without exception or expectation), our true identity in Christ (not our “false selves” ), and how then, and only then knowing and experiencing these truths, we can love ourselves and others the same way He loves us.
This is a beautiful book on how love is who we truly are, and how love, if we let it, changes everything!
I also highly recommend author Scot Cook's second book Breaking Free From Churchianity: How to live free from religious legalism, destructive dogma, and people-pleasing in churches

In this very personal narrative, I take my readers on a journey with me to know God's true nature and identity so you can know yours. Why? Until you do, you can't love and enjoy yourself, have healthy relationships with others, or have a relationship of love and trust with the Source of all life—your very reason for living!
It's the first of two books I've written so far to help people thrive and enjoy life rather than survive it.
If you've ever worried about ‘doing’ what everyone wants, trying to be who you think you're supposed to be, and never feeling like you've done enough, this book is for YOU.
