I'm M.D. Anderson. I'm not a theologian, professor, or someone who claims to have all the answers. I'm simply someone who has lived a very full life, made mistakes, learned from them, and developed a habit of asking questions. When I began writing FAITH, I didn't want to write another book based only on what I already believed. I researched extensively, studied different beliefs and perspectives, spoke with people whose beliefs were very different from my own, and followed questions wherever they led. I wanted to understand before I wrote.

My goal isn't to tell you what to think or demand that you agree with me. It's to make you curious enough to investigate for yourself. FAITH examines the places we put our trust every day, from money, medicine, science, technology and ourselves to superstition, religion and God. Some of what I discovered surprised me, and some of it may surprise you. I simply invite you to question what you know, challenge what you assume, and follow the evidence for yourself. Then you decide where your faith belongs.
