Book Synopsis
between the lines on any stranger'Äôs face,
countless love stories needing to be told'Ķ
There is, across the globe, an ever-growing disconnect. People everywhere are divided by borders and boundaries and walls'Äîif not geographically, then certainly as they pertain to our convictions and the untamed country that is the human heart. Among so much dissonance, how attainable then is harmony? And where, at last, is it to be found?
In his debut collection of interconnected personal essays and poetry, Arthur Thomas Lee introduces us to myriads of individuals not unlike ourselves, people whose stories hold, between their lines, keys to greater compassion and understanding. To that end, Thin Places: Portraits, Prayers, and Liminal Grace takes us on a lyrical journey through which nature becomes our ever-present guide, difference gives way to deference, patchwork paths find purpose, the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and each stranger'Äîfighting for light in the thick of understory'Äîtransforms into familiar lifelong companion. It is, at once, a heart-felt prayer, a bold beck and call for love in the face of deep division, and for greater measures of grace along the way'Äîall while passing our time, our limited time, on this our liminal planet.

Anyone else read the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" books years ago? I remember reading the teen and pre-teen ones as a kid and some of them made me so sad. "Thin Places" is one collection of stories that I can attest to truly being "Chicken Soup for the Soul"- healing, hope, home, humor, and heaven- some of the best "h" words come to mind as I think of how to describe this book. It's a must-read in the world of non-fiction; where so many of us fall prey to the calculated traps of division, Arthur's invitation to open doors in order to calculate connection and see each other as valued characters in each other's life stories is just what the world needs more of. 💌
