As a scientist, aircraft design engineer, aviation consultant and major in the U.S. Air Force, Bob Hage has made a career of taming the skies via aerospace technology. He co-authored the classic textbook, Airplane Performance, Stability and Control.
He tells the story of his romance with the heavens and his spiritual quest to find meaning and purpose in life. God worked through a simple cleaning lady and a private conference in the Swiss Alps with Francis Schaeffer to bring Bob to faith in Christ.
You will enjoy reading about his military service at the Pentagon, the fierce competition between leading aircraft companies and his global travels. Also, in a time of corporate scandals, it is refreshing to read about the high ethical standards that made his career and the companies he worked for successful.
When I Consider the Heavens will interest the engineer, the business person, the historian, and those who love a good autobiography. Particularly inspiring is the way Bob Hage freely opens his heart for all to see that Jesus Christ is the navigator of his life and career.
"Bob Hage has written a captivating book about his experiences in the aerospace industry. He tells about his faxcination with the universe and how that led him to a belier in God as its Creator. That in turn led him to a personal relationship with the Son of God."
Lorne Sanny, Past President, The Navigators
"While Bob has spent most of his life considering the heavens from an aerospace engineering perspective, he has also been searching the heavens for answers to spiritual questions. He wanted to know how he came to be here on earth and for what purpose. Shortly after coming to McDonnell Aircraft he found the key to those answers when he invited Jesus Christ into his life. That commitment changed his life dramatically, as you will learn by reading this fascinating book."
