Destination: Moon

 

Subtitle: The Spiritual and Scientific Voyage of the Eighth Man to Walk on the Moon

 

About this Title:  The eighth man to walk on the moon took the entire Bible seriously because he took its Author seriously. He rejoiced in the Genesis account of origins. He believed that God created the world in six, twenty-four-hour days. That man was Col. James Irwin, the lunar vehicle commander for Apollo 15. Destination: Moon recounts with full-color photographs and illustrations Irwin's amazing physical and spiritual journey to the moon. With spectacular photos and “you are there” text, you will experience what it’s 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.

Col. 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.

"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!" —Reverend Billy Graham

 

"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 that must have been like." —Ken Ham, Answers in Genesis
