What is a thin place? “The Celts define a thin place as a place where heaven and the physical world collide, one of those serendipitous territories where eternity and the mundane meet,” author Mary E. DeMuth explains. “Thin places are snatches of time, moments really, when we sense God intersecting our world in tangible, unmistakeable ways....He has come near to my life. I will tell you how.”

And DeMuth does. She shares with her readers the times in her past when she came very close to God. Often the moments were preceded by difficult events, terrible events, horrifying events. DeMuth is able to find the redemption in the terrible, and that is one of her gifts as a storyteller.
