Publisher's Synopsis
The Latin phrase, 'Carpe diem' literally translates to 'seize the day.' The phrase comes from Book 1 of Roman poet Horace's Odes, written around 23 BC. In the original Latin, it's part of the longer phrase 'carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero, ' which translates to 'Seize the day, put very little trust in tomorrow.'
So, whenever anyone exhorts us to 'seize the day, ' they are simply saying, 'Make the most of every opportunity you have right now!'Each of the twelve chapters in this book address a different issue which we need to understand if we are to truly seize the day - every day. As you wrestle with each chapter, allow the Spirit of God to give you the tools you need in every area of life so you might be able to embrace everything which God has prepared for you - every day!
