Guthrie persuasively renders the evolution of a hard-won religious belief that makes room for imperfection and "does not require us to ignore... the sorrows we experience or the unjustness we see but to believe past it." This openhearted offering inspires. - Publishers Weekly

Mostly what God does is love you.

If we could believe this, really believe this, how different would we be? How different would our lives be? How different would our world be?

If you ever struggle with your connection to God (or whether you even feel connected to a faith at all!), you're not alone. Especially in our modern world, with its relentless, never-ending news cycle, we can all grapple with such questions. Do we do that alone, with despair and resignation? Or do we make sense of it with God, and with hope? In these uncertain times, could believing in the power of divine love make the most sense?

In this collection of essays, Savannah Guthrie shares why she believes it does. Unspooling personal stories from her own joys and sorrows as a daughter, mother, wife, friend, and professional journalist, the award-winning TODAY show coanchor and New York Times bestselling author explores the place of faith in everyday life.

Sharing hard-won wisdom forged from mountaintop triumphs, crushing failures, and even the mundane moments of day-to-day living, Mostly What God Does reveals the transformative ways that belief in God helps us discover real hope for this life and beyond.

A perfect companion to your morning cup of coffee, this incisive volume—not a memoir but a beautiful tapestry of reflections crafted as a spiritual manual—includes:

• a fresh, biblically rooted look at six essentials of faith: love, presence, grace, hope, gratitude, and purpose;
• an honest exploration of questions, doubts, and fears about the love of God;
• a dose of encouragement for the faith-full, the faith-curious, and the faith-less; and
• …and much more.

This deeply personal collection is designed to engage the practical ways that God loves you—not just the world, but you—and to inspire you to venture down a path of faith that is authentic, hopeful, destiny-shaping, and ultimately life-changing.

mostly what God does

so beautifully written!! So inspired to take a pause and remember what God Does in my life too!!

Simple but meaningful

Not sure what I was expecting but I really loved this book. I think so often we complicate God and faith but Savannah makes it so simple and boils it down to the most important part, God’s love for us.

amazing

honest, genuine, thought provoking and inspiring, I really needed this book to fill my soul with an awareness of God's love for us

Like a warm blanket

Listening to this book was similar to being snuggled in a warm blanket. It felt safe to explore my feelings about God. It also encouraged me to lean into my purpose, even when scared.

Loved this even more than I expected

Big Savannah fan. Love her on Today, but didn’t have an expectation that I’d take away such profound truths from her book. As someone who works in Christian publishing, I read a good amount of content that is faith based, but this had a special and sincere tone. It is so different and unique, feels true to her voice and is deeply encouraging to both new and seasoned believers. Will listen again and again
