Some people are of the opinion that we are all wounded on one level or another. What makes the difference between us, I suppose, is how much healing has taken place and the circumstances that cause those wounds to reopen. I know this all too well in my life, and I’ve found a kindred spirit in Mary DeMuth.

What makes the difference between us, I suppose, is how much healing has taken place and the circumstances that cause those wounds to reopen. I know this all too well in my life, and I’ve found a kindred spirit in Mary DeMuth. A fellow author, she has turned her sorrows into support; she reaches out not only to those who have survived similar experiences to hers, but, through her wounds, she reaches out to those who may be otherwise wounded.

Her memoir Thin Places exemplifies this well. Oxymoron though it may be to say, her story reads as a hopeful tragedy. One can come to understand how bad things happen to good people to make them stronger. Mary taps her memories with a raw, gritty pen. Yet she deftly strikes a balance between pain and promise, hurt and hope. The reader soon discovers the tragic childhood encounters that have, perhaps, left the deepest scars. Mary’s novels maintain a preoccupation with how children are shaken out of innocence and get dragged or set adrift into an adulthood for which they’re not ready. Thin Places gives the background reality to her fictional stories.

The phrase thin place is translated from the Celtic term caol áit (pronounced ‘kweel atch’), which describes a place where heaven and earth kiss, where the veil is removed or stretched so thin that you see, touch, know God. This could be a physical place, a situation or experience, or just a moment in time. Each vignette-like chapter of Thin Places reveals the truth of a caol áit. Just as Jacob went through a thin place at Jabbok, wrestling and in pain, each thin place in our lives comes with its struggle and hurt. But don’t forget that, though Jacob left that brook with a limp, he also left with a great blessing and a new name; so, he “called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved” (Genesis 32:30). Our anguish accomplishes something greater.

Reading this memoir can be bit of a thin place experience, as you find yourself slowing down to reflect on your own life and do some healing through Mary’s pain. You come to understand yourself and God a little better—a worthy journey. And you realize that even when we mourn our losses and suffer our hurts, we have hope that we will move beyond the agony to a place of acceptance, to a place of appreciation, of freedom.

N.B. Mary’s publisher, Zondervan, sent me a review copy of this book before its February launch.(less)

“Thin places are holy places and surely God was in this place”

Mary DeMuth is a very talented writer, but much more a gifted vessel. In this memoir, she conveys hurt, hope, and healing as she talks about her life with glimpses of the God’s sovereignty.

It is not a book that ‘excuses’ adult behavior because of childhood experiences. It is a book that reveals what God can do through a life in spite of horrible acts of violence and abuse. Why did God allow Mary DeMuth’s life to unfold in this painful...more

I suspect if you took a survey of 10, 100, even 1,000 people, you would not find one person who would answer the questions openly and honestly. Sadly, this is true for most Christians. We live behind a façade, some thicker than a brick wall, and not even our closest family members and friends know the real person behind that façade.

This is not the case in Thin Places, a memoir. Mary DeMuth has exposed her life and bared her soul to the world. She has done so with dignity and grace.

Never has there been a outpouring of a human soul in so many words articulating the ravishes from innocence's as in Mary DeMuth'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.

Thin Places is billed as a memoir, which isn’t really my kind of thing. But I already knew (from reading A Slow Burn) that Mary DeMuth is a really excellent writer. She has the knack of writing about seriously sad and difficult topics with a lightness that’s more to do with creating light than making light of anything. With words as beautifully constructed as her stories, she pulled me straight into the second book of a series and kept me so entranced that I wished it wouldn’t end. But a memoir?

The “thin places” of this book’s title are made from those times when the world around us grows thin, where glimpses of heaven slip in through those cracks in the clouds. And the author leads her readers fairly quickly to the sort of thin place that we might not wish to go—except, of course, so many of us have been there, been nearly there, or been comforters to others who’ve been there.

As in her novels, Mary writes about deep and painful subjects. But her writing has a beauty that allows even the most agonizing tale to let in the light. She shows how God takes those cruel memories and paints eternal glory and forgiveness into their fabric, transforming that which we’d rather forget into a source of curious blessing.

There were parts of this memoir that resonated with me, and left me eagerly looking for God’s light in my life. I too have chased after signs, delighting in those days when it seemed like God really spoke to me, and mourning their loss when I should be rejoicing in the fact that God gave, God takes, God is sovereign, and God might give again. I too have lived with my inner critic declaring I’m never good enough. I too…

But Mary’s not me, and in some sections I just felt frustrated with circumstances that dictate I can’t be more like her. The cynic in me asks, but what if this, or what if that lets Mary down. But I know that as God is in all of Mary’s thin places now, He’s here for me too, not making the tough places smooth, but making them thin, if I’ll just let Him in.

Thin Places is more than a memoir, and more than a teaching moment. It’s a series of essays, built on the author’s memories, and bound by their message of God’s faithfulness. It’s a call to readers to see things differently, to recognize healing, and to look for God breaking in through an ordinary day. It’s a beautiful book, and however it was that I got lucky enough to receive it, I’m really glad I’ve read it.

Her father died when she was 10, leaving her feeling abandoned. Her mother was ‘unavailable’ when she needed her, throughout all of her marriages and other relationships, leaving her feeling neglected. Her grandparents weren’t as loving to her as she thought. She spent much time alone, fearful of who was ‘out there’ to get her. She was lied to, stolen from, and not believed many of her years. She felt unloved, unlovable, unworthy to even be on the earth. She considered suicide for over a year, but a school counselor helped her through that year. She had years of envy due to a lack of the basics that made her feel as if she didn’t fit in with other kids. She had a large “daddy hole” in her heart through all the losses of her father and step-fathers.

What really pulled her through was a relationship with Jesus at the age of 15. Not that all things went perfect from that point on, but she has what she calls “’thin places,’ snatches of time, moments really, when she senses God intersecting her world in tangible, unmistakable ways. They are the ‘aha moments,’ beautiful realizations, when the Son of God bursts through the hazy fog of her monotony and shine on her afresh.” He came to Mary’s life and brought her healing. She will tell you how.

Thin Places, Mary’s memoir, was written for specific purposes. To help others find hope and reconciliation with God and family. To get the counseling help they need. Get people talking about their abuse to gain healing. Help the abused women gain insights to be a good mother. To find hope for herself, etc. It’s not an easy read, but press through and you will find poignant moments that you can relate to and find hope and healing in Jesus. This is a book on freedom and triumph!

Although the story seems to flit about for me, my take on it is that triggers don’t necessarily happen in chronological order. Push through. It’ll all make sense in the end.(less)

When I asked to review the book, Thin Places, I did so because I knew in some way it would help me understand my own struggles. Thin Places is a courageous personal memoir by author, Mary De Muth, who wrote Watching The Tree Limbs and Wishing on Dandelions.

I choose her because she knows her...more When I asked to review the book, Thin Places, I did so because I knew in some way it would help me understand my own struggles. Thin Places is a courageous personal memoir by author, Mary De Muth, who wrote Watching The Tree Limbs and Wishing on Dandelions.

“I picture Him (God) watching from heaven as I press my eye socket to the floor of Jim's Studebaker, watching God's chaotic world spin beneath me. “That one,” He shouts to the heavenlies. “That raggedy one. I choose her because she knows her lack, because she knows her insatiable need for a father. Someday she'll cling to me.” As I trace my fifth-grade hand over the brick wall leading to the office, He knows I am about to embark on a journey of fatherlessness, enduring the gaping hole that comes from a longing unfulfilled,” writes Mary in the first chapter. Mary writes some stirringly graphic and tough chapters on sexual abuse, abandonment, grief, and the often lacking relationship between her and her mother. She writes about her own struggles as a wife and parent.

The Celtics 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. Thin describes the membrane between the two worlds, like a piece of vellum, where we see a holy glimpse of the eternal—not in digital clarity, but clear enough to discern what lies beyond. Thin Places are snatches of holy ground, tucked into the corners of our world, where, if we pay close attention, we might just catch a glimpse of eternity.” Her book is a collection of the Thin Places in her life; places of tragedy, hurt, betrayal, and fear, but what people meant for evil God used for good.

Her words eerily echo my own daily struggles and thoughts. I was struck by what she wrote in regards to her relationship to her mother during her later years as a college student, “Ours is a relationship of undulation. Pain, forgiveness, misunderstanding—all flow together to create a complicated fountain. I spring from her. She springs from me. And sometimes the water runs dry. And so often I'm thirsty.” Her sexual abuse makes me weep because she did not get any help and had nowhere to turn. The abuse affected her marriage. Having never known a friend who was sexually abused, nor thankfully, never had that experience, I can only imagine the lifelong pain Mary writes in her memoirs.

Mary writes about her struggles with gaining others approval. I can understand having tried to get approval all of my life. It's a bucket with a hole in the bottom in which you futily try to fill with your hopes, dreams and love, but when you pick it up, it all drains out of the bottom. “Isn't it ironic that I have the deepest fellowship with Jesus when I give up my need to control the relationships in my life? My relationship with Him grows rich when I place my reputation in the hands that are scarred by the hatred of others,” says Mary in the chapter titled, Like Me. I struggle with this every day. It is natural to want people to like you. It makes you feel good when you gain the respect of those around you. It is a well which promises to run dry. Only clinging to the Living Water of Jesus will you find sustenance, not in the opinions of other less than perfect human-beings.

The copy of Thin Places is on my desk. I am going to spend some time in prayer. I want someone who is suffering, who has suffered, and who still struggles, to read this book. A fatherless or motherless person who has felt that void for years; an abused person who cannot see the light in her dark life; a person who needs to drink up Jesus' love for them. I will give this away to that person. If you are that person, write me a letter why. If you know that person, write me a letter. Pay it forward. If you have grown up without a mother or father and believe you are not loved, think again; Jesus made you. You are a precious creation having been born in a fallen world. Find your Thin Place; embrace your past; forgive your past; and in the midst of the darkness, find the light. He's waiting for you to come Home.

Common Weaknesses, Uncommon God

Mary organizes her story based on the "thin places" where her weaknesses, especially, have allowed her to experience God. In the process, we not only recognize where weakness can reveal God's compassionate heart, but also how common our own weaknesses are. And in understanding that commonness, our shame, too, can be healed.

When she describes her "reactionary" self that she wishes she wasn't, we can claim our own overreactions without so much shame.

With courage and honesty, Mary DeMuth writes of her struggle through numerous childhood traumas including neglect, the death of her father, and being raped at the age of five. Woven in the poignant prose are threads of Mary’s sometimes wry sense of humor and glimmers of grace which comes not as a swooping cure-all, but as the ever present and constant guidance of a holy God. In what Mary describes as thin places, she experiences Jesus, his beauty, and his provision for her life.

Mary called it "The Mark".

Intimate spiritual memoir, telling of author's sexual abuse at age 5 by neighborhood boys, through mother's serial marriages and (perceived) neglect. Mary grows up afraid of men, wary of everything, until she meets Jesus at age 15 and is able to grow strong and 'safe' in her faith. She experiences the 'thin places' in the barrier between earth and heaven, where she finds faith, comfort, and revelation of God's love. Very moving and encouraging book, but also disturbing because of her abuse.
