# New Book – Holy Is The Day by Carolyn Weber

[![Holy Is the Day by Carolyn Weber](https://bookwi.se/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/cover-12025.jpg)](http://www.amazon.com/Holy-Is-Day-Living-Present/dp/0830843078/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8)I follow a lot of book bloggers and publishers because I want to find out about good books. I am not intentionally focused on new books (I actually work pretty hard to force myself to read older books.) But the way things happen about 70-80 percent of the books I read have been written in the last 2 or 3 years. Part of the reason is that when I find authors I like I tend to read almost everything they write.  So I get biased toward new books to keep reading the authors I really like.

Today I ran across a [blog post from Intervarsity Press](http://behindthebooks.ivpress.com/2013/02/mama_loves_all_her_babies_the.php) about the new cover design of a book that the post’s author really liked.  I like the cover as well.  (It is one of the things I like about my Kindle Paperwhite over the older kindles is that it shows the cover images.)

I was even more excited to see that it is the cover for Carolyn Weber’s [new book](http://www.amazon.com/Holy-Is-Day-Living-Present/dp/0830843078/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8).  I am now a devoted reader of Carolyn’s. ([First review](https://bookwi.se/surprised/) and [second review](https://bookwi.se/surprised-by-oxford-a-memoir-by-carolyn-weber-read-again-review/) of Surprised by Oxford and I am currently reading Surprised by Joy which I assume inspired the title choice.) I even picked up one of her [books of poetry](http://www.amazon.com/True-North-Thirteen-Poems-ebook/dp/B0081BFY7O/) (and I am not a fan of poetry) and I am working through it.

[Holy Is the Day](http://www.amazon.com/Holy-Day-Living-Gift-Present/dp/0830843078) is not out until Oct 2013, but I already put it on my watch list and will be waiting expectantly.  By the way, Carolyn blogs at [Pressingsave.com](http://www.pressingsave.com/)
