534 Days.
76 Weeks.
18 Months.
1.5 Years. . . In Space.
From the farm fields of Wisconsin to the edge of Earth’s atmosphere, Zero Gravity follows the remarkable journey of NASA astronaut Jeff Williams—a man whose path took him far from home, yet whose faith in God kept him grounded.
Spending 534 days in space across four missions, Williams not only broke records but captured stunning images of Earth—offering a powerful perspective on God’s handiwork in the universe and His love for humanity revealed in Christ.
This compelling biography reveals the grit it takes to graduate from West Point, endure test pilot school, and earn a place among the few who’ve traveled beyond Earth. Readers go behind the scenes of spacewalks, shuttle landings, and silent sunrises over Earth’s horizon. But more than that, we witness God’s work in transforming an ambitious, self-focused young man into a growing, devoted Christian, using each step of his journey for His glory.
More than a story of science and exploration, Zero Gravity is a portrait of the unshakable conviction that life—on or off this planet—is meant to be lived for our Creator.
