How One Woman Averted

Multiple Tragedies

with Help from on High

If you need proof of God’s hand in this world, look no further than the life of Georgette Rias-Baker. And if you seek affirmation of His incredible love for His children,

Top of the Ninth & I’m Winning is your book.

This remarkable memoir chronicles nine near misses that nearly befell Rias-Baker,

A skilled storyteller whose first-person account will leave you breathless as she stares down enough challenges to fill several life times.

There was the time she was this close to being raped;

missed bleeding to death by a hair;

escaped an attempted kidnapping;

lost everything in a fire;

practically died in a car accident;

and very nearly took her own life. And that’s just for starters.

What intervened in each of these cases? God and His Word.

Top of the Ninth details the incredible visitations by angels who kept her safe every time.

Not that Rias-Baker realized it at the time. It would take years for her to truly understand the love God has for her. And that’s the core message of this book.

Top of the Ninth shares the incredible embrace the Lord has for each of His creatures, while giving hope to those who have also suffered the bruises of life.

Filled with inspiring scripture, Top of the Ninth is about thriving despite the obstacles life throws at us, thanks to a little help from above.

My life has been like a baseball game. I have had nine serious innings that could have put me out of one box and into another. However, like Albertina Walker says, "I'm still here," so that could mean only one thing: I am a VICTORIOUS WINNER! If you have never had any storms, battles, or innings in your life, how can you have had any victories?

God has made me stronger and wiser throughout my life. He has taken what the devil meant for evil and turned it around for good. I no longer take life for granted, for I know now that every moment is very precious.
