Life is full of turning points—moments in time when our actions determine whether we grow wiser, make meaningful connections or peddle in place. Many women stumble during these stressful transitions rather than move forward into their destiny. but Suzan Johnson Cook, a.k.a “Dr. Sujay,” knows firsthand how to seize these opportunities.
Faith advisor to both President Barak Obama and former President Bill Clinton, Dr. Sujay is the first black woman to be senior pastor of the 200-year-old American Baptist Churches (a male-dominated realm), to be president of the 10,000-member Hampton University Ministers’ Conference (another male-dominated arena), to be appointed chaplain of the NYC Police Department and, now, to be appointed by President Obama as Ambassador-At-Large for the State Department’s Office of International Religious Freedom.
With each transition, Dr. Sujay has triumphed with the help of a tight circle of supportive friends as well as the guidance of her Biblical mentor, Deborah. In her new book, Becoming a Woman of Desting: Turning Life’s Trials into Triumphs, she shares the wisdom of Deborah—who, as prophet, judge, warrior and wife, is the ancient equivalent of the modern-day multi-tasking woman. She also shows women how they can harness the support of their peers through “Destiny Circles” and start building a life of success and spiritual fulfillment.
