Product Description

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 readers will witness the life of a man who consistently pursued the desires of his heart even as he served a faithful God.

Inspiring, exciting, and true
Rick Husband knew from the age of four that he wanted to be an astronaut. From then on, he organized his life toward achieving that goal. He met Evelyn Seely in high school. Theirs was not just a marriage, but a genuine partnership. This moving biography of the shuttle Columbia's final commander is his widow's work, with able assistance from novelist Donna Vanliere. It does exactly what its author says she intended: it tells the story of astronaut Husband's faith fully as much as that of his life. If you're looking for a straight-up "space program" book, and don't want to listen to preaching, give this one a miss. But if you're interested in reading the inspiring, exciting true tale of one man who learned what success really meant, and of the woman who helped him achieve that success? Highly recommended!

High Calling
The Courage and Faith that Commander Husband exhibited in his life is to be admired!My 15 year old grandaughter wanted this for Christmas and she shared it with me.The title really tells you about his life:"High Calling".

Rick Husband's life
I read this book and re-read it several times. Evelyn Husband did an excellent job describing the life of Rick Husband in this book. Some folks accuse her of being preachy, but what those folks need to know is that faith and religion is such a big part of Rick Husband's (and his family's) life that if she hadn't written it all, it would not have accurately portrayed the life that Rick Husband lived. This book changed my life in many more ways that not even people closest to me ever had. This book changed me from a nominal believer to a dedicated believer. This book helped me set my priorities correct in my life. It showed me the value of dedication, hard work, faith, and determination. In fact, this book has become my "Bible". After reading this book, Rick Husband and his family have and will always have a very special place in my heart.

Everything you want to knowaabout NASA
I was surprised how really good this book was. As well as telling you tons of fascinating info about NASA and lots of interesting detail about the work of the astronauts, the reader is given an intimate look into what their families are put through. I highly recommend it.

Pretty good book
The book High Calling is good. I recommend that if you enjoy real life novels you buy this book. It is about the astronaut Rick Husband and his wife Evelyn Husband. I liked it for that reason. Also, it gets to the point without too much detail but it has enough. It was also interesting how it told about all of the procedures that astronauts do and how their lives are. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes books about real people in real situations. Another good thing is that the book is spiritual and tells people who read it to become more spiritual. ...
