Thin Places - a memoir

We can learn a lot from each other when it comes to this business of living. Sharing experiences, the good and the bad, help us know we are not alone and allow us to learn from mistakes. Even better (in my opinion) are the stories which evidence the life-changing work of a God who invests in the lives of mere mortals.

I think that is part of the reason I loved reading Mary DeMuth's newest release and memoir, Thin Places.

Mary is bravely honest in this beautifully written story of life. Parts of her story are really hard to read, and hard to understand. But at the same time, God's hand prints are all over the pages in wonderfully personal ways.

If you have ever experienced the trauma of sexual abuse I think you would benefit from this book. It is a hard part of Mary's story, but I also think through the telling it can bring healing and hope to others who have walked that path.

Thin Places is a story of redemption. It is evidence of a God who pursues his children and makes them holy. It is a story that takes an honest look at challenges all of us can relate to as we try to walk like Christ did.

Mary is a gifted writer who challenged me in the best way through her words and life.

I hope you will take some time to find a copy of Thin Places and relish the reading of it. I know you will be glad you did!
