Cookin' At Cook is one of those rare books that inspire me as a therapist to obtain several copies to give to clients who are involved in a tragic situation and need guidance and inspiration to find a way to survive creatively.

Jim McClelland has magically entered the mid of an infant and, with empathy born of love, has enabled him to tell his story. This book is a real treat for those of us who love children and their parents.

I have never been very religious, but would consider myself spiritual. To your credit, I have felt a renewed interest/need in exploring my religious self again.

If you have children of your own read this book. As I read Cookin' at Cook's I was struck with emotions, as a Father myself I do not know how I would react to my children going through the trials that this child went through. I can say that after reading this book it was comical at times trying to understand how a child might view this world we live and how the faith of a child can and will change the hearts and souls of those around them. I would recommend this book to anyone who is suffering from a illness or handy-cap that has been diagnosed as a situation without hope....

This book is not only inspirational but also very creative by looking at a crisis through a childs eyes.

You will know how blessed you really are after reading this book. Life is not nearly as difficult as it may seem when measured against what this child and family endured. The author truly has insight into the way a child views the world and anyone would benefit from the ability to see things from that perspective. Was the battle for this little boy won by spiritual or by physical means? Was it the hand of God or the hand of man? Was God working through man? There is no mystery of faith here! This is more than a diary of struggles of one family, it is a lesson on how to deal with everyday setbacks and challenges.
