'Houston, we have a problem.' No pilot wants to hear these dreaded words, as they indicate imminent danger. Likewise, no Christian should want to hear this phrase either. Whether in a plane or a pew, though, problems are sometimes unavoidable. But the way these unexpected situations are handled is what matters. In Life at 35,000 Feet, Renda Brumbeloe, retired pilot and devout Christian, relates flying a plane to the Christian's spiritual journey. He has found that flying a Boeing 727 is really not so different from trying to follow the straight-and-narrow path of a devoted Christian. If you've ever wanted to learn about aviation and desire to live a life pleasing to God, try living Life at 35,000 Feet. 'The veteran pilot author of this helpful volume writes from knowledge in both the art of aviation and the craft of successful living. Read and enjoy the excitement and adventure, the challenges and uncertainties of living on the edge. Your faith will be stretched and affirmed, and your mind will be acclimated to new ways of thinking about your own spiritual journey.' -Dr. Loren Gresham, President, Southern Nazarene University
