Look over a combat pilot's shoulder

With the war on terrorism in full swing, and the heavy use of US airmen in that war, it is not unusual for non-pilots like myself to wonder what it is like for our US pilots. And for those of us who consider matters of faith as vitally important in life, we wonder even more about the men and women involved in flying combat missions. Geoff Gorsuch gives us a look into the mind and soul of a pilot who wrestled with God while in the midst of the strain and horrors of war. Gorsuch flew as a FAC in Vietnam and lived to tell about it. He is an Air Force Academy graduate and through his Vietnam experiences became heavily decorated. His book, however, focuses on the spiritual journey he underwent in the skys over Vietnam. His musings and internal questionings and struggles are openly admitted - punctuated with the extreme experiences he saw in the war. He weaves these experiences together with his meditations on the book of Romans found in the Bible. The result is a look over his shoulder - sometimes in the cockpit of his OV-10, and other times in his bunk as he read his New Testament. Anyone wondering how to make sense out of the horrors of war, anyone wondering-in the light of the terror we see on TV these days-if God exists, anyone wondering if faith in God has a place in a soldier's life...should look over Geoff Gorsuch's shoulder.
