About the Book:
Move beyond Coping and Surviving to a Rejuvenating Place of
Soul Rest
How many of us find ourselves exhausted, running on empty with no time for rest, no time for ourselves, no time for God? Bonnie Gray knows exactly what that's like. On the brink of fulfilling a lifelong dream, Bonnie's plans suddenly went off script. Her life shattered into a debilitating journey through anxiety, panic attacks, and insomnia. But as she struggled to make sense of it all, she made an important discovery: we all need spiritual whitespace.
Spiritual whitespace makes room--room in one's heart for a deep relationship with God, room in one's life for rest, room in one's soul for rejuvenation. With soul-stirring vulnerability and heartbreaking honesty, Bonnie takes readers on a personal journey to feed their souls and uncover the deeper story of rest. Lyrical writing draws readers into Gray's intimate journey through overwhelming stress to find God in a broken story and celebrate the beauty of faith.
Guided by biblical encouragement and thought-provoking prompts, Gray shows readers how to create space in the everyday for God, refreshment, and faith. She also offers practical steps and insights for making spiritual whitespace a reality, right in the midst of the stress-frayed stories in every season of life.

Reading the first chapter of this book felt like Bonnie was
speaking to me.This book will challenge you to look at memories and emotions
that you may have been burying for a long time. I so need the whitespace in my life.
It is the story of finding space to
breathe, feed your soul, and dream dreams. We need blank spaces in our
calendars, in our days, in our hours–to rest, reflect, and make room for Jesus It
is an invitation to come closer to Jesus, to let Him embrace you where you are. God
is calling me to rest. I was greatly ministered to by reading this book and
strongly recommend it, especially if you are finding yourself burned out and
weary. This book was like water to my weary soul: quenching the deepest desire
for more rest & more Jesus. This
book brought healing to my weary soul. Each chapter ends with a number of
excellent prompts for reflection and journal writing.
