"We ask God's blessing" tells the story of the Apollo project, with a foreword by Apollo 16 Astronaut and Moonwalker Charlie Duke. Apart from being just another book on the Space Race and the Apollo-project, "We ask God's blessing" is first and foremost a Christian book.
Astronaut Charlie Duke, a well-known proponent of the good word, writes in his foreword:
"What you are about to read is the true story of "the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked.". These were the appropriate and strong words that President Kennedy used in 1961, when he set the goal for the American people of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth, before the end of that decade.
[...] So, why did the President want us to go to the Moon? How did we do it? And what did God and Christian faith have to do with this anyway? This book gives a sober, read-worthy and surprising set of answers to these questions [...] I hope and pray, that you will find "We ask God's blessing" as intriguing and strengthening of faith as I did."

| The author is in the greatest debt to Apollo 16 Astronaut Charlie Duke, for obliging to write the foreword to "We ask God's blessing" |
"We ask God's blessing" gives evidence of the good-natured strength that Christian-conservative values offer to mankind, and it is a strong Christian re-appropriation of this "the greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked" as JFK so rightly put it.
The Christian angle on the Apollo-project is the key unique element of "We ask God's blessing". The book has gathered an unseen collection of testimonies of the application of Christian faith, and of events that many people describe as interventions of God during the Apollo-project.
Some of these events have not been described in public before, like the Apollo 10 no-gimbal-lock-incident which the author, by good guidance, found in the NASA audio archives. So, the book also contains some new material on the Apollo project, and new interpretations of events, that will interest the segment of space-enthusiasts all over the world.
"We ask God's blessing" has been published in Denmark, by the Danish C. S. Lewis society. The book got a 4 of 6 stars review in the Danish Christian daily newspaper "Kristeligt Dagblad". It was evaluated by the auditors at the Danish libraries, selected for acquisition and now available at the Danish libraries.
