After forty-six years as a missionary pilot’s wife, Ruth Scheltema invites young readers to listen to flight logs tell true stories drawn from around the world. Her opinion is that missionary pilots are special—God’s superheroes! Read and find out why.

As a missionary pilot's wife, Ruth encountered many struggles when her way seemed the most logical and safe; however, God had His own plans for Ruth's life and ministry. When her husband was gone on lengthy flight missions and she was alone; when she wasn't able to speak the language to communicate with the women and children of the villages; when fear crippled both her productivity and ministry: these events would have gone differently if Ruth had her way, but she later saw those same events as definitive ways God was teaching her obedience to His will.
