{"product_id":"holy-is-the-day","title":"Holy Is the Day: Living in the Gift of the Present by Carolyn Weber","description":"\u003cp\u003eLife 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarolyn 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?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis set her on a journey to find the still, small space in each day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarolyn gives us new eyes to receive the precious gift of the present and give it away to others.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Landmark Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47196261777648,"sku":"9780830843077","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/1385\/8477\/files\/9780830843077.jpg?v=1746857231","url":"https:\/\/shop.landmarkbooksellers.com\/products\/holy-is-the-day","provider":"Landmark Booksellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
