From the Back Cover

Your Unmet Needs Are an Invitation from God

All humans have five core needs that must be met in order to thrive as the person God created them to be. When these needs are left unattended, they can be the source of much longing, loneliness, and insecurity. In Five to Thrive Dr. Kathy articulates these needs and offers biblical solutions for how they should—and should not—be met. Each chapter includes interactive assessments so you can begin asking the right questions to evaluate which needs in your life need attention.

Five to Thrive invites you to reimagine unmet needs, frustrations, and lack of contentment as invitations to experience God’s transforming power in your life. These biblical and practical strategies will guide you to healthier self-awareness so you can engage—and thrive!—in the life God intends for you.

"Dr. Koch shows us how to identify and renew our behavior through the Word of God, transforming our hearts to become the best spouse, parent, and follower of Christ we can be. . . . You will be encouraged that your best days and best self are just ahead!"
- Kirk Cameron, Actor and Producer
