Savannah Guthrie isn't a theologian or a religious scholar, but she felt compelled to write her newly released book, "Mostly What God Does," because faith is an essential part of who she is. "I'm not writing this book from some mountaintop where I've received some wisdom, and now I'm imparting it to the world," she told TODAY.com. "No, I'm still down here, struggling.
