    About this audiobook

    Rick Husband wanted to be an astronaut since his fourth birthday, but it wasn't always for the right reasons. Initially, he thought it would be neat . . . cool . . . a fun thing to do. It wasn't until he came to a spiritual crossroads and was able to give that dream up to discover the true desires of his heart before he actually got into the space shuttle program at NASA. Three failed attempts didn't daunt this driven pilot-and the fourth interview process, though lengthy and difficult, proved successful for him. Husband's years at NASA served not only to develop his integrity and character, but also to increase his faith in a Creator that could not be denied in the vastness of space. His story is not only inspirational but exhilarating and invigorating, as listeners will witness the life of a man who consistently pursued the desires of his heart even as he served a faithful God.

      What a great read. A truly touching book from the perspective of a family member of one of the space programs great tragedies. I was blessed to read this book.
    • 5/5
      Excellent book about the astronaut Rick Husband as told by his widow Evelyn, Evelyn wrote Rick's vision and determination to be become an astronaut and their life they shared together before the Space Shuttle's Columbia's diaster on Feb.3rd 2003. The love which Rick had for god, his family, and crew. it just amazed me. I esp. loved the part where he made video devotionals for his 2 children: Laura and matthew to played while he was on his space mission. I cried reading knowing they would never see their father again but what a great memory he left for them.
