Even before I had a contract signed, I was writing and thinking, and the whole process was so exciting and thrilling and felt so alive,” Guthrie said. “I felt like I was learning so much that even if there never was a book at the end of it, the process and the journey was so moving and personal and valuable. It felt like, in a way, something that was happening between me and God.”

Guthrie, who also authored the children’s booksPrincesses Wear PantsandPrincesses Save the World,noted that writingMostly What God Doesallowed her to reflect on difficult moments in her own life, including the death of her father,Charles Guthrie, when she was a teenager.

“I think that when you read the book, you recognize that I’m a definite worrier, and there’s no question about that. My faith has been the biggest antidote to that,” she said.“That doesn’t mean I don’t worry, or I sit around and it’s a state of rapture all day long with not a care in the world,” Guthrie added. “No. It just means I bring my worries to God.”
