We know rest and reflection are necessary for a healthy life--even Jesus took time to get away from the crowds, away from the demands of everyday life, to pray, to spend time with close friends, to sleep. But when Carolyn Weber--emotionally and physically exhausted from managing her career as a college professor, writing her first book and parenting three children under the age of three--hears this truth from a friend, all she can think is: but who will do everything if I don't? And this sets her on a journey to find the still, small space in each day. In these pages Carolyn reflects on the eternal beauty that lurks within the present. Drawing from literature, history and everyday life, \u003cem\u003eHoly Is the Day\u003c\/em\u003e is a collection of spiritual reflections that trace the way God's ever-renewing grace is a gift of the present. Opening it we find poignant stories of endurance, humility, compassion, remembrance and gratitude, as well a harrowing account of near-death experience. Carolyn gives us new eyes to receive the precious gift of the present and give it away to others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carolyn Weber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e IVP Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/26\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780830843077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCBA Retailers\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2013 pg. 33\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristianity Today\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2013 pg. 68\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWeber, Carolyn:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarolyn Weber is an author, speaker and teacher.
