520    "Join former NBC newsman and Meet the Press moderator 
       David Gregory as he probes various religious traditions to
       better understand his own faith and answer life's most 
       important questions: who do we want to be and what do we 
       believe? While David was covering the White House, he had 
       the unusual experience of being asked by President George 
       W. Bush "How's your faith?" David's answer was just 
       emerging. Raised by a Catholic mother and a Jewish dad, he
       had a strong sense of Jewish cultural and ethnic identity,
       but no real belief--until his marriage to a Protestant 
       woman of strong faith inspired him to explore his 
       spirituality for himself and his growing family. David's 
       journey has taken him inside Christian mega-churches and 
       into the heart of Orthodox Judaism. He's gone deep into 
       Bible study and asked tough questions of America's most 
       thoughtful religious leaders, including evangelical 
       preacher Joel Osteen and Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the 
       Catholic Archbishop of New York. It has brought him back 
       to his childhood, where belief in God might have helped 
       him through his mother's struggle with alcoholism, and 
       through a difficult period of public scrutiny and his 
       departure from NBC News, which saw his faith tested like 
       never before. David approaches his faith with the 
       curiosity and dedication you would expect from a 
       journalist accustomed to holding politicians and 
       Presidents accountable. But he also comes as a seeker, one
       just discovering why spiritual journeys are always 
       worthwhile"--|cProvided by publisher.
