Touché is a heartfelt, entertaining account of a ten year-old boy's discovery of God's purpose for him, then formulating and executing a plan that resulted in his winning two All-American awards for fencing at Notre Dame. Todd Griffee's journey includes examples of troubleshooting obstacles that provided life lessons through his life. Touché gives guidance—with the realization that nothing is impossible—to discover your goal, then formulate, execute, and troubleshoot your plan. The desired result is if you can see how God performed miracles in Todd's life, you can have hope God can perform miracles in your life.
What Others Say About Touché:
As I read Touché by author Todd Griffee, I could not help but think of the quote by Mark Twain: "The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why."

He finds his own purpose through the unique sum of all parts which appeal to all ages and life experience levels. A well-worthy read.
