She is also the Church of England’s national officer for deliverance ministry. She is also the convener of the ecumenical Mission Theology and Apologetics Group, providing resources on Spirituality, Theology, Reconciliation, Evangelism and Mission.

"Cook and Richards's timely, wise and sensitive book sets out, clearly and accessibly, a rationale for deliverance ministry and good practice advice. The Lord's Prayer line 'Deliver us from evil' is given shape for the twenty-first century, drawing on all the wisdom of theology, pastoral practice and social sciences. An important read for those with any pastoral ministry."
