A small pocket checklist packed with critical information for handling fire, failure, or loss of control. Inside that checklist, thousands of pages of technical manuals are distilled into the most vital steps needed to avoid crashing and burning. Using that same concept, Butch and Z have designed a Pocket Checklist for Life’s Emergencies—a guide for when the unexpected happens and you need the ultimate truth to navigate through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMeet the Authors\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCapt.

As a Naval Aviator, he logged 663 aircraft carrier landings and flew multiple combat missions across four deployments.

But beyond his aviation and spaceflight achievements, his greatest passion is sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which he does around the world and from his home in Houston, where he lives with his wife, Deanna, and their two daughters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCol.

When multiple system failures during approach to the International Space Station nearly cost him and his crewmate their lives, he had already walked through seasons of testing that taught him where true security comes from. Closed doors that redirected his Navy path, combat flights that demanded courage under pressure, the refining blessing of marriage, and the relentless discipline of test-flight preparation all formed a foundation of trust in a sovereign God who works out His will in every situation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen a mission planned for eight days stretched into nearly a year, Butch wasn’t sustained by circumstance; he was steadied by calling. Stuck in Space is not the record of a crisis survived but a testimony of divine providence, a reminder that what feels unexpected to us is never unexpected to God. Through personal stories, gentle humor, middle-Tennessee charm, and deep biblical conviction, Butch invites readers to see that trials are not detours from God’s will but often the very means by which He prepares us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore than a memoir of a journey to space and back, this is a story of formation: how a faithful God shapes His people long before the watching world ever sees the outcome.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCapt.

A Tennessee native and Tennessee Tech graduate, he is a test pilot with over 8,000 flight hours and 663 carrier landings. He piloted the Space Shuttle Atlantis, commanded the International Space Station, and most recently led Boeing’s Starliner on its first crewed flight—a mission planned for eight days that stretched into nine months. Known for his humility, steady leadership, and deep faith in Jesus Christ, Butch speaks worldwide on perseverance, leadership under pressure, and the majesty of creation that points to the Creator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eWatch the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/AYtQPsCpIpo?si=VqDr8ZHjBkYAJq7z\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eThe Heirloom Podcast interview with Butch in space!\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Heirloom Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45433100468414,"sku":"9781967496044","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1800\/9573\/files\/Stuck-in-Space-00001.webp?v=1775157250"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.laurelmercantile.com\/collections\/books-by-butch.oembed","provider":"Laurel Mercantile","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
