I put this book on a "to be read" list many years ago--so long ago that I no longer remember where I saw it or why I wanted to read it.

The title refers to the author's belief that at times in her life there have been "thin places" that allowed her to glimpse lessons from God more easily than she might at other times. Her memoir is an attempt to recount those times and the lessons she's learned. ( )

Really enjoyed this 'spiritual memoir' I loved the stream-of-consciousness writing style, and usually I *don't* like that at all. I'd love to read other books like this one. DeMuth's other books are novels though, so .. I'm not sure I'd read that genre right now.








Just started this book yesterday and I'm loving it already. The author goes back and forth between the present and the past and makes it work beautifully w/out it seeming too jumpy and disconnected. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this in a short time!

I don't think I have ever read a book by a Christian woman who is so honest, open, and raw with her life. She experienced sexual abuse at 5 years, was devastated by the death of her biological father, saw her mother divorce 3 times, was saved at 15, struggles with trying to earn her way into God's love rather than accepting it as a gift. She married a Christian man, had 4 children and served 2 years in France in a church plant. Each chapter has a different theme of a crisis in her life that she directs to see hope in God. A thin place is holy ground where she experiences God. ( )

In this heartbreakingly raw story, Mary DeMuth delves into the painful details of her past, including the loss of her father, the emotional absence of her mother, and the sexual assault that still plagues her to this day. Her honesty and her faith are refreshing and uplifting, proving that through God all things are possible. ( )

Never has there been a outpouring of a human soul in so many words articulating the ravishes from innocence's as in Mary De Muth's 'Thin Places.'
Mary is a woman exceeding in wisdom as she understandingly and forgiving expresses so eloquently her feelings of every detail hidden in her heart. Being thrown into an unkind childhood of various proportions of devious acts of impropriety, Mary's life is strangely familiar. Now grown, her understanding with the wisdom of the love of Christ enables her to put into words her most heart felt insecurities. She forgives the hurt that embraces her inner most being. Her life is a testimony of bearing heartbreaking, unkind acts of selfishness from others, to finding the unconditional love of Jesus to walk through the throws of everyday life is to properly commented. Thank you Mary for opening up your life to the lost and hurt so they may know they are not alone.

Growing up, I find myself housed in a scrawny sort of body--legs thin as broomsticks, interrupted by knees so knobby they bang into each other when I walk.
