Holy Is the Day

<P><B>Life pulls us in many directions sometimes even to the point of pulling our souls apart.</B> 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. </P><P>Carolyn Weber was emotionally and physically exhausted managing her career as a college professor writing her first book (<I>Surprised by Oxford</I>) and parenting three children under the age of three when she was reminded by a friend that she too can rest. But all she could think was: who will do everything if I don't? </P><P>This set her on a journey to find the still small space in each day. </P><P>In these pages Carolyn reflects on the eternal beauty that lurks within the present. Drawing from literature history and everyday life <I>Holy Is the Day</I> 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. </P><P>Carolyn gives us new eyes to receive the precious gift of the present and give it away to others. </P>
