Hope in 60 Seconds by Cristina Baker is the Author's Testimony. Ms. Baker's life story is a real page turner. I stand in awe of what she has been through and what God has pulled her through. I found Hope in 60 Seconds very encouraging and I highly recommend it. Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read this book. My review is also on Goodreads.

In Hope for 60 seconds, Cristina has a powerful testimony on the love and hope of Jesus Christ and encourages others. Cristina had a traumatic childhood including abuse, homelessness, and addiction, and continues to struggle with addiction as a young adult. Shortly after she is arrested, she is welcomed into a prayer meeting at her workplace where she accepts Christ and is transformed. In sharing the challenges she has faced and her transformation after becoming a Christian, Cristina provides hope, encouragement, and reminds us that Jesus can overcome the brokenness and darkness in our world and our lives.
Thank you to NetGalley for the digital ARC and the opportunity to share my opinions on the book!

I am reviewing a copy of Hope in 60 Seconds through Thomas Nelson and Netgalley:




We all face trying situations, now more than ever. The Hope and hunger we need for is not a strategy or state of mind, but what we need is Jesus. He stands secure for us no matter the trial we face.





At the age of twenty-one, Cristina Baker was far from hopeful. She had dealt with a traumatic childhood dealing with Child abuse to troubled teen years, to a descent into substance abuse, she resonates with a lost world who understands first-hand how easy it is to lose hope. Then, just as she was about to go to jail for drug possession, the Hero of Hope, Jesus Christ, came into her life and set her on a completely new path.






If you are facing doubts, Cristina understands, and Hope in 60 Seconds will help to replace those doubts with Hope.





In Hope in 60 Seconds you will be encouraged and empowered by someone who has been in a similar place of discouragement and discovered Christ’s authority and love,Learn how Jesus establishes hope and begin to experience it first-hand in the darkest of circumstances,Grow in your ability to connect with Jesus and find the hope you have longed for all of your life, andProve that a connection with Jesus is the ultimate source of hope.
The message of Cristina’s life is Jesus, the hope we need and hunger for—a hope that will stand secure in the face of brokenness, loss, sickness, abuse, a brain tumor diagnosis, injustice, and death.



I give Hope in 60 Seconds five out of five stars!



Happy Reading!
