Publisher Description

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.

"Very moving memoir. Mary goes to the uncomfortable places in her life to show the immense power of God's love drawing us every closer to Him. Great book if you have ever questioned circumstances in your life or wondered if God was there when bad things happen."

    " So many hurting children in this world. We need to stand up for the little ones, helpless and half-abandoned. They cannot fight for themselves! "

    " Cannot put this book down! I picked it up, last night, and read it half-way through. A memoir which handles a difficult, painful past in a sincerely honest way. A lesson in forgiveness and growing through life. "

    " A girl with so much pain and abuse. Some parts of her life she becomes a fanatic over religion. The writing, grammar and spelling not edited very good. But some wonderful thoughts and growth. "

    " Ugh, it's rare I put a book down much less refuse to go back to it after less than 30 pgs. When the writing skill isn't there the message comes out forced and sounds like a past prime evangelist who lost their way a decade ago. I always appreciate some trying to tell their story & share God's word but this woman at the very least needed a much better editor. Kudos to her for her bravery tho "

    " I could not put this book down. Mary's stories are so painful and yet so redeeming as she clearly shows us God's hand in every part of her life and helps us see just how present Jesus is with us in this terribly broken world. "

    " Thin Places is a brutally honest memoir of a young, brittle, brutalized life made beautiful by the grace of God. DeMuth does what all good writers should do: she speaks the truth as best she knows, sharing her story to help others. "
