Destination: Moon recounts Colonel James Irwin's amazing physical and spiritual journey to the moon. With spectacular photos and “you are there” text, you will experience what it is like to train for four years as an astronaut. You will feel the emotions of lift-off, see Earth from space, and explore the moon. As amazing as his accomplishment was, Astronaut Irwin viewed it as insignificant compared to the accomplishments of the Creator. Colonel Irwin spent the rest of his life sharing this message: “Jesus walking on Earth is more important than man walking on the moon.” His legacy of faith and discovery is an inspiration even now, thirty years after he landed on the moon. Visually stunning. This book comes with a reading comprehension guide.
