Thin Places by Mary DeMuth



Thin Places: Those moments where Heaven and earth meet. The curtain of our mundane lives pulls back for a momentary glimpse of God’s overwhelming grace. All of us experience them, but Mary Demuth describes them in the way only she can.

Written in Mary’s typical “grab your heart and refuse to let go” style, Thin Places uncovers the kind of secrets all of us wish we had the courage to share. Opening the pages of her painful childhood, she allows the reader to glimpse her wounded soul, and gaze upon the Lord who brings healing.

DeMuth weaves her words and God’s truth in and around the terrors we all suffer: abuse, envy, fear, abandonment, insecurity. But she never leaves us in our pain. Her final offering reveals joy, fulfillment, friendship, and security.

On my quest to know Mary better, I found myself falling in love with the Father all over again. Reading her memoir became a thin place for me, where I experienced God’s sweet embrace.

I recommend this soul-stirring book to DeMuth fans and Jesus followers alike. Look for it in a prize giveaway on this blog soon. But if you simply can't wait to begin the Thin Places experience, go here to order.
