"It's about time that I get a chance to start over," or "I'm not quite sure what I think about all this." After all, living at Cookson Hills will be very new and quite a different situation than where you are now. You'll be making new friends, meeting new teachers, learning new rules/expectations, living in a new home, etc. Hopefully, though, in the future you will get settled in and come to know Christ in a real and powerful way.

In the next few pages you will hopefully get somewhat oriented to how things work around Cookson. There may be some information in here that you're already aware of; however, we will try to "leave no stone unturned." In order for you to succeed here it's important for you to understand that WE want you to succeed and will do whatever it takes to place the right tools before you. This handbook is just one of those tools.
