New book by a Papal Missionary of Mercy challenges readers to spend 60 seconds a day with Jesus

CHICAGO, Jan. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In his new book 60 Seconds for Jesus, Father Jim Sichko challenges readers to take 60 seconds a day to find and experience God's love. Father Jim refers to 60 Seconds with Jesus as a "Do-votional" because it gives readers specific actions they can do to find purpose and possibility.

In 2016, Pope Francis appointed Father Jim to the Missionaries of Mercy, a group of priests specially selected to be what Pope Francis called "heralds of joy and forgiveness." As a travelling Missionary of Mercy, Father Jim frequently makes his way into the news with his generous and often creative gifts and donations to people with needs all over the world.

"In my travels, I find that people are hungry for uplift, for reflection, and for personal growth," stated Father Jim. "I wrote 60 Seconds for Jesus to sustain, challenge, move, and nourish them in their daily lives."

One of the key features of the book is that the weekly reflection and the daily challenges are brief "sound bites" that the reader can fit into even the most hectic schedule.

Father Jim has a massive online social media following, and is a popular speaker known for his "60 Minutes with Jesus" presentations.

60 Seconds for Jesus is available January 9, 2024.
