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.\nCarolyn Weber was emotionally and physically exhausted managing her career as a college professor, writing her first book (Surprised by Oxford), 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?\nThis set her on a journey to find the still, small space in each day.\nIn these pages Carolyn reflects on the eternal beauty that lurks within the present. Drawing from literature, history and everyday life, Holy Is the Day 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.\nCarolyn gives us new eyes to receive the precious gift of the present and give it away to others.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0830843078\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0830843078.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Weber, Carolyn\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
