One, our life is about to change. And two, it's a day we will not soon forget. Sixty Seconds is an uplifting collection of intimate, heartfelt stories from prominent people who graciously share their personal experiences with the profound.

At 29, she walks away from her job to finally wed her fiancé and begin her coveted role as wife to Dr. Ryan Miller and mother to their unborn children. Lora's life is abruptly derailed when she returns to their shared apartment to find Ryan's break-up note, scribbled hastily on the back of an old grocery receipt. Unemployed and single, Lora must reconstruct her life without Ryan and somehow find the strength to move forward - when all she wants to do is go back. Starting over, Lora embarks on a series of firsts in her new life.

While on a mission in Moscow to retrieve stolen records of the Army’s new sophisticated rifle, Roman overhears a conversation between the Chairman, head of the Russian mafia, and militsiya General Levshinsky discussing plans to produce and detonate a 210-kiloton nuclear bomb somewhere in Israel. After receiving word of what Roman has recently overheard, General Levshinski assembles an all-out manhunt for his capture. Can Roman escape the clutches of the Russian mob while helping Mossad Director Aaron Levy prevent a nuclear attack on Yom Kippur? With Rina Kol by his side, Roman tracks the shipment of the bomb as it makes its way to Tel Aviv in attempt to thwart the attack—Armageddon. With time working against them, will they find it in time?

Now more than ever, we all face trying situations. The hope we need and hunger for is not a strategy or state of mind, but faith in Jesus. He stands secure for us in the face of every trial, from loss to sickness to injustice. Through 20 short prayers, 10 personal stories of miraculous transformations, and Biblical teachings, Hope in 60 Seconds will help you take the first steps towards a journey of security in the hope of Jesus. “At twenty-one I was as far from hopeful as anyone could get. Maybe as far as you are now.” These are the words of Cristina Baker as she considered her traumatic life: from childhood 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 weary and doubting, Cristina understands. Hope in 60 Seconds will help you to: 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, and Prove 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. In Hope in 60 Seconds, she shares the steps of her journey to encounter, receive, and walk in the hope of Jesus, and offers readers powerful wisdom for how they can take the same journey for themselves.
