Getting Undressed: From Paralysis to Purpose

by David Cooks, Eric Wolffersdorff

IMPACTING LIVES. INFLUENCING BUSINESS. CHANGING THE NARRATIVE. At the age of 15, high school sophomore and basketball player David Cooks experienced a spinal aneurism, leaving him a T-6 paraplegic. Refusing to let the wheelchair determine the man, he made the decision to persevere from the very beginning–and he never let go of his passion for the game. In Getting Undressed, David describes his journey to independence and purpose, and how “getting undressed” for change can pose huge challenges, literally and figuratively. A story of inspiration and motivation. David shares his struggles and successes on and off the court–with honesty, perseverance, and faith.

Getting Undressed

I had the privilege of attending a virtual session with David Cooks two years in a row for an annual symposium. This book is experience and wisdom distilled for our learning what our purposes are.

If this book doesn't inspire you, you might want to have someone check your pulse.

God puts you in the place He wants you to be. Sometimes you wonder why. David Cooks found his purpose in paralysis and tells you how to find yours. Inspirational, a great read!
