Review: Richly poetic blend of memoir and essay on the daily life of faith - This is a beautiful, spiritually deep book, which is as enjoyable to read as it is enriching. Its starting point is the near-death experience Ms. Weber had while giving birth, some subsequent medical problems, the trials of raising three young children while working full-time, with another major life concern looming at the conclusion. It is something of a memoir of a spiritually rich period Ms. Weber’s life. But, the episodes from her life segue in and out of richly poetic essays about nature, family, and living a daily life of faith. Its hard to know whether to best describe this book as a memoir, as poetry connected with life-stories, or wise observations on the life of faith. One central themes of the book is how “Trauma prepares us for resurrection”. She observes “all tears open the way for Christ to come more completely into our lives”. Another theme is of observing God in day-to-day life. “Irreverence begins in not paying attention. And yet, I think it can also stem from counting too often and too closely”. Ms. Weber communicates spiritual concepts through poetry, metaphor, story, and allusion, rather than coming at them head-on or presenting lists. It is not a ‘how I got from here to there’ story. Like many people’s spiritual lives, the book does not have a neat ending, rather, concluding with the sense that a difficult experience may be imminent (one gets this sense partly because we start seeing Ms. Weber grabbing a hold of a few cliché’s, which she otherwise shuns) Ms. Weber has a lot of wisdom to impart. The book is bursting with wonderful quotes from great writers and poets of the past, as well as references to scripture (her digging into the book of Daniel is very good). Ms. Weber is a deeply faithful Christian, highly educated, and is an exceptional writer. It is rare you meet, much less get the chance to peek into the life and work of, someone with all of these attributes. She is very open about her life, but at the same time maintains her privacy.
Review: In the Present: A Dear Gift - The life moments portrayed in this personal book are emotional testimony to the author's continued surprises of faith. Knowing something of her real discovery of God from the movie about her arrival into belief, I see her gift of prose and honest revolation as Holy. I will read this book again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting Read
*by C***R on March 5, 2014*

I have enjoyed Holy is the Day. This Author does not write with typical Christianease and it is refreshing. She definitely comes from an academic background and has many references and applicable quotes to offer. I especially enjoyed her Carpe Deum chapter challenging us to move from spiritual immaturity to grasp at God. Also that she challenges us to remember "the result of faith is not a life of indifference but a life that makes a difference. and that grace is not a nibbler, it swallows us whole" Many nuggets of truth throughout the book!
