SAY YES TO NO is a pushback against the pressures of today's world - a world that puts us constantly on call. Cootsona was a pastor at the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York City, living a non-stop, round the clock life caring for his congregation, raising two daughters, and nurturing his marriage when life issued a wake up call. The illusion of being able to juggle it all was shattered for Cootsona at a cardiac clinic in Manhattan where the then 38 year old was told to slow down - or else.
