Tom Jones was one of three Catholic astronauts on NASA mission STS-59 who were granted permission to transport the Blessed Sacrament on their 1994 trip. Author Cecilia Cicone and illustrator Gabhor Utomo tell the experiences of Astronaut Tom and his crew, as well as how the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist accompanied them on their journey, in this one-of-a-kind children's book for ages 4-8.
Full-color photographs and a timeline of NASA space shuttle mission STS-59 are included, as is catechesis on the Eucharist and Eucharistic Adoration, as well as a special message from Astronaut Tom to encourage young adventurers to be courageous in faith and secure in the truth of God's love for them!
