Carolyn Weber was one of the authors featured earlier this month during a Canadian Christian Booksellers Association's event for retailers in Paris, Ontario.

Held Aug. 6 at David C. Cook Distribution Canada, "Summer in Paris" offered Canadian Christian retailers ideas for engaging churches in their communities, as well as interaction with Weber, who is based in London, Ontario.

"Retailers instantly warmed to Carolyn Weber, author of Holy Is the Day," said Deb Tempelmeyer, senior director of book and gift marketing at David C. Cook Distribution Canada. "Carolyn had such a relaxed, engaging manner that the retailers couldn't wait to hear more of her personal story and spiritual journey. You could tell that great conversation was happening with Carolyn as everyone waited patiently in the long line up to receive their signed copies."

To be released in October by InterVarsity Press (IVP), Holy Is the Day: Living in the Gift of the Present is a collection of reflections by Weber, who shares stories of endurance, humility, compassion, remembrance and gratitude—a harrowing account of a near-death experience.

"We're grateful for the exposure our friends at Cook Distribution Canada have given Carolyn Weber and her book Holy Is the Day," said Jeff Crosby, IVP's associate publisher and director of sales and marketing. "They have caught a vision for the book, have nurtured a relationship with Weber and are working in close partnership with us to make the book known throughout Canada. We are uncommonly grateful for that."
