Synopsis

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. As DeMuth writes, “Thin places are snatches of holy ground, tucked into the corners of our world, where we might just catch a glimpse of eternity. They are aha moments, beautiful realizations, when the Son of God bursts through the hazy fog of our monotony and shines on us afresh.”From losing her earthly father to discovering a heavenly Father who never leaves, from singing Olivia Newton-John songs to the sky to worshiping God under a French sun, from surviving abuse as a latchkey kid to experiencing the joy of mothering three children, DeMuth’s story calls readers to a deeper understanding of their own story. With unusual spiritual wisdom, she looks for God in the past so that she might experience him more profoundly in the present. Her powerful words invite readers to know God in a new way—a God ready to break through any ordinary day or extraordinary pain and offer a glimpse of eternity.

What is a thin place? "The Celts define a thin place as a place where heaven and the physical world collide, one of those serendipitous territories where eternity and the mundane meet," author Mary E. DeMuth explains. "Thin places are snatches of time, moments really, when we sense God intersecting......more

Goodreads review by Pearl on September 22, 2021

I’ve heard it said that you can argue with theology, but you can’t argue with experience, and Mary’s story of healing from a horrific childhood of sexual abuse and her interpretation of it were both heart wrenching and touching. Like some reviews have noted, the book felt disjointed at times, but it......more
