“Jesus walking on the Earth is more important than man walking on the moon.”
Astronaut Col. James B. Irwin
Astronaut Col. James B. Irwin
Only twelve men have placed their feet on a celestial body, the moon. Colonel James B. Irwin was one of them.
History tells of his historic space adventure but does not reveal the incredible life he led after his return to earth. He came away from the moon flight with a profound sense of responsibility to all mankind. For the next 20 years, James Irwin shared a message of hope as he traveled the globe with his family encouraging others to take a leap of faith and experience the Highest Flight possible with God.
