Book Recommendation: Hope in 60 Seconds
“Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy.” - Micah 7:18
Cristina’s story is remarkable. I actually was reached out to on several occasions to review this book and debated it because of the time I had availability. The people who reached out to me knew how much “Hope in 60 Seconds” would stir my heart and passion. This book aligns so much with our dreams and vision for Tirzah.
It is the story of one woman’s redemption. The story of a youth moved from home to home until a church found her a family. Continuing the story of a drug addicted woman. My heart was stirred reading about an unplanned pregnancy. Everything about Cristina’s story is a miracle - one continual long miracle.
“I felt sick. Deandra had barged into my apartment at the very moment I was headed to my appointment with Dr. Suarez, on my way to have an abortion. I felt the room spinning. The scene was ridiculous; a pregnant woman - the girlfriend of my drug dealer - was perched on the edge of my bathtub with her two hyper toddlers screaming and jumping all over the place…” - Cristina Baker
This is just ONE snippet of the chaos in Cristina’s life. The reality is Jesus stepped in. He redeemed EVERYTHING. He did a Romans 8:28 and turned all evil to good. I don’t want to tell more of the story because I want you to go read it for yourself. However, you should go get it for yourself and read the story!
