# Book Giveaway: Holy Is the Day by Carolyn Weber

[![Holy is the day](https://bookwi.se/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/cover-25945.jpg)](http://www.ivpress.com/cgi-ivpress/book.pl/code=4307)InterVarsity Press mailed me a final copy of the excellent Holy is the Day by Carolyn Weber last week. I read ([and reviewed](https://bookwi.se/holy-is-the-day-2/)) the Advance Copy (which I then gave away) and then purchased a copy of the kindle version when it was released.

So I have no need of this paperback copy.  As I was trying to figure out a creative way to give this away, I realized that one of the important reasons that this book needs to be read it to combat Jesus Juke.

[Jesus Juke](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Jesus%20Juke), coined by Jon Acuff, is when someone brings Jesus into a conversation inappropriately when the conversation did not have anything to do with Jesus.  Usually this is more about hitting someone over the head with religious language than actually contributing to conversation or seeking after how God works in the real world

Holy is the Day, along with [God of the Mundane](https://bookwi.se/god-of-the-mundane/) and several other books I have read this year has re-awakened my desire to find God in the everyday.  But I still have an aversion to Jesus Juke and I don’t want to encourage Jesus Juking everyone as you discover the real ways that you start seeing God in the everyday as you seek after him.

So here is the contest, in between now and Monday Sept 30 at 12 Noon Eastern, leave a comment below, or on the Bookwi.se Facebook pages where you either confess your funniest Jesus Juke or describe how someone Jesus Juked you.  (Please be kind and disguise the identity of the Jesus Juker.)

I will come up with a team to thoroughly analyze and review all submissions and pick one and mail you a copy of the book.  (Although I will listen for crowd favorites, so please let me know what you think is the best one.)

It won’t earn you any extra points (unless you get a bunch of people to come and say your Jesus Juke was the best), but please pass the give away along via Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google+, Path or whatever other social media you use.

(An example of a Jesus Juke would for one person to say “I really need a cup of coffee this morning I am dragging.” And then the Jesus Juke response would be “If you really need a pick me up you should do a morning devotional, I do that every morning and don’t need coffee.”
