Summary:

Bonnie Gray shares what she learned during a period of time when she was overwhelmed with life’s pressures that was stemmed from her childhood. She battled anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. Through scientific research and Biblical scripture, Bonnie developed a rhythm that she uses with her sons. She has also mentored “from Army officers to teenagers to every day moms and dads” (p. 13). This book is divided into four sections: Emotional Wellness, Physical Wellness, Spiritual Wellness, and Social Wellness. Each chapter also has four parts as well – Refresh, Release, Restore, and Reflect. But before you dive into the book, Bonnie invites you to take her free Soul Care Quiz. This will allow you to see which area you need to slow down in and work on.

Recommendation?

Living overseas brings about many transitions. And with transitions comes stress – anxiety, possible panic attacks, and maybe even some lows that need to be addressed. This book is a valuable tool for those who need to slow down but are unsure how. It offers an intentional, structured way to practice individually or in a small group. It is geared towards Christianity with the use of breath prayers. There is so many resources out there, but I found this one to have a good mix of science, Biblical based and practical.
