B03044 - Destination Moon

In this true personal account of the Apollo 15 mission, astronaut James Irwin describes how he came to be an astronaut and the years of training that followed. Ken Ham writes, Jim Irwin has left a legacy in this book to enable each one of us to have a sense of what it must have been like ...[to] experience the joy of praising the Creator while standing on the moon...this is an exciting journey for children and adults alike.   From the back cover: Jim Irwin was a great scientist, and a great astronaut, but he was an even greater Christian. Because of his faith in God, we can be assured he is in Heaven, and instead of viewing the earth from the perspective of the moon, he can see the whole universe from his new eternal home! -Rev. Billy Graham James Irwin took a magnificent trip to the moon.... After reading DESTINATION: MOON, you may feel like you made the trip with astronaut Irwin. I did. Maybe, you will want to make the trip for real yourself someday. I have not done that. However, you can. Someday! -Tom Hanks, Actor, "Apollo 13" DESTINATION: MOON clearly captures the thrill of a lunar adventure.... Jim's life, this book--and his testimony to God's grace and goodness--will have a lasting influence on many people. -Gen. Charlie Duke, Lunar Module Pilot, Apollo 16 In 1971, my boyish dreams of adventure were fired when I visited the Apollo 15 in Florida before its remarkable journey to the moon. Over thirty years later, I stand more impressed by the Christian testimony and witness of its Bible-believing, Genesis-affirming lunar module commander, Jim Irwin, than even the mission itself. -Doug Phillips, President, The Vision Forum, Inc. Jim Irwin's adventures on the moon made him an American hero. His use of those adventures to glorify God and point others to Christ make him a Christian hero. -Dr. John Morris, President, Institute for Creation Research [James Irwin's] life has enriched mine through his loving, caring, gracious, sensitive spirit. -Bill Bright, Campus Crusade for Christ [DESTINATION: MOON] is a story that exemplifies bravery, technology, and Jim's personal encounter with God. A great read and wonderful keepsake, I enthusiastically recommend DESTINATION: MOON. -Senator William L. Armstrong I can't imagine what it must have been like to praise the God of creation while standing on the moon...Jim Irwin has left a legacy in this book to enable each one of us to have a sense of what this must have been like. -Ken Ham, President, Answers in Genesis
