Overview

What happens when a physician trained to trust only what can be measured begins to encounter what cannot be explained?

Laura Buchanan, MD, built her life on evidence. Laboratory values, imaging results, controlled trials — truth, as she understood it, was something that could be quantified. Faith felt abstract. Risky. Difficult to reconcile with an evidence-trained mind.

But when a series of dreams, unexpected encounters, and undeniable patterns began to unfold, she faced a question she could no longer dismiss:

Make It Be So is a deeply personal memoir of skepticism, grief, surrender, and spiritual awakening. It is not a rejection of science, but a story of what happens when science and faith are allowed to coexist. Through intellectual honesty and spiritual vulnerability, Dr. Buchanan explores the tension between doubt and belief, the discomfort of the unexplained, and the quiet persistence of a God who pursues even the most guarded heart.

• The reader who senses there may be more

With clarity, humility, and courage, Laura invites readers into her journey — and into one simple posture:
