She recalls fond memories of attending church regularly. \u201cWe would go three times a week. It was very much part of my upbringing,\u201d she shared<\/a>. \u201cMy sister has the best line in the book: She said, \u2018God was the sixth member of our family,\u2019 in our family of five.\u201d<\/p>\n In her book, Mostly What God Does,<\/em> Savannah offers poignant reflections on how her faith sustained her through some of life\u2019s most challenging moments. She includes the loss of her father when she was just 16. \u201cAll of what I have come to realize is that all of that is my faith story: belief and doubt, you know, joy, and also disappointment and sorrow. It\u2019s all part of my faith journey,\u201d she mused<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the book, Savannah candidly reflects on the highs and lows of her faith journey, from the joys of motherhood to the heartbreak of losing her father at a young age. Through it all, she emphasizes that her faith is not about perfection but rather about embracing life\u2019s messy and imperfect aspects with grace and resilience.<\/p>\n Drawing from her own experiences, Savannah acknowledges that faith is a journey marked by both moments of profound certainty and times of doubt and despair. Yet, through it all, she finds solace and strength in her relationship with God.<\/p>\n Throughout the book, Savannah invites readers into her world. She shares vulnerable stories and insights that resonate in this broken world\u2013seeking God and finding beauty in it all. From the challenges of blending faith in an interfaith household with her Jewish husband to the trials of her career, Savannah\u2019s reflections offer a relatable and deeply personal perspective on the power of faith to sustain and uplift us in the darkest times.<\/p>\n Despite never anticipating writing a book about faith in her 50s, Savannah was drawn to the subject when allowed to share her story. \u201cWhen I had the opportunity to write something, faith was the subject I found myself most passionate about,\u201d she said<\/a>. \u201cAnd somehow, in this moment and in this time, it just felt like the right thing to do. And it didn\u2019t feel like a burden.
