    Finding Spiritual Whitespace is a beautiful, heart wrenching story about one woman's journey to rest through PTSD. As someone who has struggled with anxiety I could relate. As someone who survived her parent's divorce I could relate. As a woman trying to make sense of my past I could relate. As someone longing to understand the fullness of God's love for me I could relate. I found this book incredibly relatable and also incredibly hopeful. Because as I saw the hope and trust and faith in Bonnie's story I was more able to see it in mine.

    I wasn't confident that I needed Spiritual Whitespace when I picked up this book but I was surprisingly wrong. Reading this book agreed with my soul from the moment I opened its pages. So many of Bonnie Gray's words resonated with me on a journey of rest I believed I was already pursuing. At the heart of this book, I unexpectedly found myself awakened to my innermost self along with some clutter I was pretending didn't exist. The author of this book cultivates an environment that encourages us to stop the rat race and find true soul rest. "Whitespace is a movement to make the radical choice to leave the louder clamoring voices, in order to follow the one, quite voice inside." Whether rest is something your soul desperately needs or rest is something you confidently believe to be implemented in your life, this book is a must read! Although I thought rest was something I pursued at every moment possible, Spiritual Whitespace has awakened my soul to new rest where I invite God into every area of my life, unguarded.

    Whitespace, what is she referring to? It's the space on a page left unmarked. -- When a writer writes, when think it is so easy for them. It should be right? Sometimes no. Bonnie suffers from PTSD, and it gripped her so tightly, that she was unable to continue. Why? That was her question. Why God?

    Bonnie's story was so just completely sad, I want to give her a big hug and tell her our God is so amazing to bring her to where she is today and He has so many amazing ways He is going to use her, wow. I can't even begin to imagine.

    I really think this book will be useful for so many people. At the end the Whitespace Challenge is so neat. DO IT!!!

    I received this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion.

    As I have mentioned before I am pretty picky about non-fiction books because I really engage with stories and non-fiction isn't stories....usually. But every once in a while an author will come along who can write so beautifully and smoothly that my heart is once again wrecked for Jesus.

    That is exactly what Bonnie Gray has done with Finding Spiritual Whitespace.

    This book was not what I expected at all, it was far better.

    I requested to review this book because I need to find whitespace in my life. So I expected this book to be a list of things you can do to make that happen.

    This book is not a list. This book is the baring of one woman's soul to reveal our need for spiritual whitespace.

    Bonnie shares her story within the pages of this book. Her story is one of heartache and denial. Of lost dreams and stolen innocence.

    Bonnie shared so many things that touched me but on p. 116 she writes as she looks back on her abuse: "It hadn't bothered me since I was ten years old. Every now and then , it crossed my mind if I heard something in the news or saw a scene in a movie. But I never dwelt on it. Jesus already brought me through it. I'm already a victor in Christ, right?"

    Denial. I lived in that for thirty years, just as Bonnie wrote.

    On p. 157 Bonnie is talking about her lost dreams, she writes, "Sometimes we can guard our hearts so capably and well it takes the tenderness o f pain to awaken them back to life. So they can say yes to God and let Him back in."

    Yep, that was me. Until I dealt with my past abuse I guarded my heart against my dream of writing.

    This isn't a book you might think you are gaining a lot from as you read, but as you reflect and ponder you will gain a deeper understanding of the places in your life you have neglected and what Jesus is calling you to now.

    Highly recommended for any woman who wants to go deeper. It might be painful but it will be beautiful.

    A copy of this book was given to me by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

    Finding REAL rest for the soul

    This book has been a real challenge for me. I am longing to find that deep rest, but this is requiring me to look deep. Much deeper into my own heart & soul than what I am comfortable with.

    This book must be read in bits & pieces, and then requires much thought to digest it properly. The author is very open & real with her own struggles, encouraging me to do the same.

    As I long to come to grips with my past, I am (painfully) searching & digging. And growing closer to Jesus.

    I am still processing, as I continue to read. I am very hopeful of where this journey can lead me, as I allow God to work in my life, through this book.

    If you are looking for a deep inner peace, I encourage you to be brave enough to read this book, and let it lead you on your own journey.
