Life pulls us in many directions, sometimes even to the point of pulling our souls apart. 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.<br/><br/>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?<br/><br/>And this sets her on a journey to find the still, small space in each day.<br/><br/>In 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.<br/><br/>Carolyn gives us new eyes to receive the precious gift of the present and give it away to others.
