THIN PLACES Touching the Edge of Heaven

Sabra Ciancanelli narrates with sensitivity and warmth as she describes her own and others' experiences with what she calls the "thin places." These are moments in time when the "veil" that usually separates heaven and earth parts and the deep presence of God's eternal love, grace, power, and peace is felt. Her inspiring prose is conversational and engaging as she recounts emotional stories of loss, fear, and disappointment, moments when the miraculous touch of God brought comfort, divine guidance, or a feeling of mysterious protection, sometimes even in dreams and visions. The book was inspired by the author's grief at the unexpected loss of her 45-year-old sister, when she first experienced the "thin places" and felt God's comforting presence. G.D.W.
