Lots of places. In fact the hand of God becomes visible at the end of the novel and sets off the nuke that destroys Las Vegas and the bad guys.

The book is filled with great exchanges like:
Ralph Bretner: Uh, Nick says that… he says he don't believe in God.
[Mother Abagail laughs.]

Mother Abagail: God bless ya, Nick! But it don't matter! He believes in you.
Mother Abagail: Father, mother, wife, husband. Set against them… the Prince o' High Places! I have sinned in pride! So have you all! That's passed now. It's time now… to give over your will… to the will o' God. It's time to make your stand.

So God detonates a nuke? That must be King’s idea of God’s kind of power, I guess.

I hate it when writers write “o’” for “of”. Really clunky attempt at ‘rural’ speech.
