High Calling by Evelyn Husband presents a deeply compelling narrative of Rick Husband, an astronaut who reached for the stars both in his professional and personal life. From a young age, Rick harboured the dream of exploring space, sparked by an innocent fascination with the unknown. However, his journey towards becoming an astronaut was not without its challenges and pivotal moments of reflection. This poignant tale explores the path Rick took, which entwined his love for space with a profound spiritual journey.

Throughout the book, readers are invited to walk alongside Rick as he navigates the rigorous demands of training and the obstacles posed by repeated setbacks. With three unsuccessful applications to the shuttle programme, Rick's tenacity and determination shine through. It was during this period of waiting and perseverance that he confronted a deeper introspection, ultimately finding peace and clarity through his faith. His remarkable resilience and unwavering belief not only propelled him towards eventual success but also matured him into a person of profound integrity and spiritual strength.

Evelyn Husband crafts an exhilarating account that is both inspirational and illuminating. She delves into how Rick's affiliation with NASA transformed not just his career, but also solidified his relationship with a Creator. The vast environs of space served as a backdrop to revelations that enhanced his spirituality and faith. Readers will feel invigorated as they witness the growth and development of a man driven by the desires of his heart and an unwavering devotion to his faith.

High Calling is not just a story about achieving one's dreams; it is a testament to the power of persistence and the transformative impact of faith. It vividly captures the life of an individual who soared to great heights, both literally and metaphorically, while serving a higher purpose. This book is a profound and energising read for those seeking inspiration, encouragement, and a deeper understanding of the human spirit's capacity to endure and thrive.
