Thin Places
Thin Places by Mary DeMuth is nothing short of the explosive supernatural healing power of God on paper. Her words are like talons that hooked into my heart and reeled me into her past, a world where suffering is extreme but grace is sufficient; a place where her world and mine collide. This is my story, indeed.
What if you could retrace your life and discover its thin places-places where the division between this world and the eternal fades?
“Thin Places are matches of holy ground, tucked into the corners of our world, where we might just catch a glimpse of eternity. They are aha moments, the beautiful realization.
In her moving spiritual memoir, Mary DeMuth traces the winding path of thin places in her life, places where she experienced longing and healing more intensely than before. Mary’s story invites you to a deeper understand of your own story. She calls you to discover new ways to look for God in the past so that you might experience him more profoundly in the present…A God read to break through any ordinary day or extraordinary pain and offer you a glimpse of eternity.

I had heard of the concept of a “Thin Place” in referring to Iona in Ireland, a place where there has been ceaseless prayer for centuries, and God’s presence seems more palpable. But I have never heard that concept applied to various times in one’s life, and I can see this as a vivid and powerful way of describing the reality we all experience, that there are times and situations when God seems especially close and our desire for God especially full. I pray that this book can encourage many people to look for God, because the more we’re looking, the more ways we’re open to noticing God’s presence and movement.
