“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, the beautiful realizations.” (quoted from back cover of Thin Places)
Every now, and then we come across a movie or a book that affects us in such a way that our own lives are forever changed. Our hearts are lain bare, attitudes, hurts, or joys we have long forgotten bubble to the surface.
Mary DeMuth’s book Thin Places is one such book. Birthed out of the immeasurable healing work God has and still is producing in her life, this book removes her cloaks of security and self-preservation. Each chapter offers a glimpse into those areas of greatest vulnerability, and bares her soul to the anguish left by rejection and abuse then leads us gently through to where the natural meets the Eternal.
While Thin Places is Ms. DeMuth’s memoirs—a window into her own life—it becomes a mirror into our own. This book removes, ever-so-tenderly, that bandage placed over our hearts as we try to forget those things that fill us with doubts, anger, feelings of hopelessness and failure. Where she splays her soul, naked and vulnerable, we will find ourselves not mourning her losses, but weeping over our own. Then the veil lifts and our Healer rushes in. Waves of sorrow and rejoicing alternate their grip on our heart as they each spring forth at the truth of God’s amazing love.
Take this journey with Ms. DeMuth yourself. Share Thin Places with the people in your life who are weary in soul from the weight of their cares. Be ready to meet the God your soul longs to know, in depths you have never dreamt possible.
