Spiritual Whitespace
This post is part of the “Finding Spiritual Whitespace Blog Tour” which I am a part of, along with a group of soulful, journeying kindreds.
The author writes “Do you ever find yourself torn at times as well–between the story you’ve lived and a new story God’s writing in you? This deeper story lies in you and me. Without whitespace, there cannot be a new story.”
This is where I’m at. I live my life rushed and doing things the only way I’ve ever been comfortable with. Yet, I’m yearning to live life differently. There are things in my life I feel God nudging me to do, yet I stay super busy ignoring time alone to hear His confirming voice.
Reading this book has me craving a slower pace, a whitespace, a place of rest to hear Him, to know His true direction for me, to jump out of my comfort zone and go for the thing He has in store for me.
The book wasn’t an easy read. In order to grasp the message of the book, I had journey through at a slower pace to allow the message to really stand out in the cluttered pages within my mind and soul.
I received this book from Revell in exchange for my honest review.
About the Book:
Finding Spiritual Whitespace is memoir-driven guidebook for anyone longing to create space in life to draw closer to God, to rest and discover who they can become when rest becomes their heart’s everyday home.
This book chronicles Bonnie’s heartbreaking journey through painful memories, how a childhood dream unexpectedly launched her into a debilitating journey through panic attacks, insomnia and anxiety — and how creating space to feed her soul led her to create a better story for her life, one filled with beauty and meaning.
The book explores how our lives are like God’s artwork, exploring ways to create space for beauty, rest and soul care. Just as beautiful art needs whitespace, we need whitespace. We need rest. Whitespace is not blank space. It breathes beauty.
Who This Book Is For:
Take the journey to find rest. Uncover your stories. Make room for you. For God. For Rest.
Using soulful journaling prompts for individual reflection or intimate group discussion at the end of each chapter, anyone longing for rest in today’s fast paced and stress-frayed schedules can take the journey to find rest, feed their souls, rejuvenate and make room for beauty, for God and rest.
