My Memoir (with secrets!) releases!



I'm thrilled to be able to announce the birthing of Thin Places! You can now buy it anywhere online and/or your local bookstore. Buy from Christian Book Distributors, Barnes & Noble, or Amazon. The Kindle version is a bit cheaper.

Here's the book trailer, in case you've missed it:

And here are a few things you can do (if you're so inclined) to help spread the word about this book:



  • Tell Ten! On February 5th, Thin Place’s official release date, tell, text, email, or call ten friends and promote the book.
  • Post a review on Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, Shelfari.com, Goodreads.com, Epinions.com, Libarything.com, and/or CBD.com.
  • Invite me to keynote or speak for a retreat based on the message of this book. I also do a one-hour workshop at a local library, writers group, or bookstore entitled, “How to Write a Memoir.” I’d much rather teach something practical than simply do a booksigning. (I also love to speak to youth.)
  • Post your thoughts about the book on your blog, Facebook, or Twitter feed. Please email Tina Howard, who will coordinate my social media tour, at info@blogtourspot.com. Offer a giveaway to your online community.
  • Make influencing into a cool, giving game. Give the book to someone who’d like it, then say, “If you like it, would you be willing to buy another copy to pass onto a friend?” If your friend doesn’t like it, he/she can return the book to you and you can lend/give it again.
  • My friend Holly lends my books to her circle of friends at church. The only requirement? Each person who reads the book needs to write a note about the book on an inside page. It’s one clever way to create community.
  • Start a book-sharing revolution. Register your book at www.bookcrossing.com. And then leave it somewhere! Bookcrossing will track its adventures.
  • Recommend the book to your local book club. I’m available to chat via speakerphone (or in person if it’s near me).
  • Ask your local bookstore or library to stock the book.
  • Donate your book to a local prison ministry or women’s shelter.
  • Share the book trailer. Go to youtube.com and type in “Thin Places Mary DeMuth.” For those of you who minister to people hurt by neglect, sexual abuse, unsafe homes, or drugs, feel free to use this video as a teaching tool.
  • Give your book to a person of influence (pastor, ministry leader, counselor, Young Life leader, radio host).
  • And most important: consider giving the book to a friend who needs the message.





Thanks so much for taking the time to read this announcement! I do pray many will be touched by the message of hope and healing in this book.
