Moving Up sets out the ten steps that will lead you to a new, more satisfying place in life: Stand Up, Speak Up, Look Up, Book Up, Kiss Up, Listen Up, Hang Up, Make Up, Wake Up, and Cheer Up. Using an engaging combination of autobiographical vignettes, her experiences as a pastor, and biblical stories, Cook illustrates each step—and concludes each chapter with simple exercises and helpful suggestions for incorporating Moving Up’s lessons into your own life.
Sujay offers good council for people no matter the life season they're in. Strategies offered here can be incorporated into just about any aspect of your life, from work, to family, to a bad split with a not so understanding person. Worth the read.
"Moving Up" really made me think of Ecclesiastes 3:1 (To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven). Dr. Sujay shows us how there are times that we must stand up and how we must speak up. She also showed us that there will be days when standing up will not work. Booking up will be the best option. The two main chapters I will always remember is about listening up and looking up. In order to survive in this world, we have to listen. Everyone wants to be heard, but no one wants to listen. Looking up us a definite must for survival. If we look down everytime something shakes us, we will never see what God has in store for us. This is truly a recommended read.
