Summary: Touch the Face of God Offers Riveting Emotion
Comment: 'Touch the Face of God', takes the reader on a journey through two years of the air war against Germany during World War Two. Focusing mainly on the 605th Heavy Bombardment Group, a handful of bomber pilots are introduced; their hopes and fears as well as those of their loved ones, and the toll such trying times takes on their strength and faith.
Mark White, a top-notch theologian who nevertheless finds it difficult to rely on God is the main lead, accompanied by his close friend, Army Chaplain Lee Grant. Grant, one of a long line of military men, not only tries to minister to the needs of the bomber pilots, but must also endure consistent criticism from his commanding officer and father for his decision to become a chaplain instead of a combat soldier. Mark's sister, Susan, elopes with her Army boyfriend just before he's sent into combat in Italy, while Mark's girlfriend, Emily, is chosen to represent 'Rosie Riveter's' in a traveling USO show. Each character is in some way related to the next, down to and including the character of a young Tuskegee airman who ultimately saves Mark's life, expertly interweaving points of view and developing cultural and religious differences between the large cast of characters.
Each well-developed character in this emotional novel is brought to life under Vaughan's skilled pen, exploring the everyday fears of not only combat soldiers, but also those that are left behind to wait and worry. A fast moving plot that carefully balances action, dialog and narrative Touch the Face of God offers a gut-wrenching and emotional read while at the same time offering a detailed though 'painless' history lesson.
This riveting novel provides a great read for a wide range audience, spanning young adult to adult, and while geared toward the Christian market will also appeal to readers beyond its market base. Author of dozens of works, Vaughan is not only a military veteran whose experience and research shine through the words of his prose, but he was also nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for his 'The Valkyrie Mandate'. Vaughan's ability to create a highly emotional, action-filled account of one of the country's most trying endeavors with such personal perspective and undeniable impact makes Touch the Face of God a must read.

Summary: A great American novel
Comment: Robert Vaughan's new inspirational novel of World War II aviators touched my heart in very special ways. I am of the generation known as the "Baby Boomers," that is, not the "greatest" generation. But I value good history and good historical fiction, especially when there is a strong spiritual message in such writing. Certainly, Touch the Face of God qualifies on all counts. It is exciting adventure, wonderful human interest, sad and uplifting, and it presents a picture of a time now seemingly long past -- but a time that has shaped our own in so many ways. Like some of the other reviewers, I have followed Robert Vaughan's writing career (especially the American Chronicles, published several years ago), and I think that he is getting better and better as a writer and storyteller. I eagerly look forward to his next work of fiction from Thomas Nelson.
