About the Book:
In this moving spiritual memoir Thin Places, Mary DeMuth traces the winding path of thin places in her life, places where she experienced longing and healing more intensely than before. From surviving abuse as a latchkey kid to discovering a heavenly Father who never leaves, Mary’s story invites you to a deeper understanding 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. 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 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. He has come near to my life. I will tell you how.

My Review:
I really liked reading this memoir. I’m truly glad that I had the opportunity to review it. Mary brings her life experiences and puts them together in an amazing way. She shares her struggles with us, but when she does this, she shows us about that she calls thin places. Those thin places really show God shining through.
I was very emotional while reading this book. I was smiling, crying, praying. More than once I found myself stopping and praying for Mary. This is a book that I am going to keep on my bookshelf, and when I feel overwhelmed with stress or grief, I am going to pull it out and read it all over again, and be reminded that through those thin places, there is hope, if I can just catch a glimpse of God in those places.
This is most definitely a book that I recommend to everyone. It is a wonderful book filled with pain, hope, and love. But through it all, it’s a book with our wonderful Heavenly Father shining brightly in the thin places! I give this book a 5 star rating! Well done, Mary!!
