The Power of Thin Places

Explore this Celtic concept with New York Times bestselling writer Eric Weiner. He's traveled the world in an effort to discover places where heaven and earth seem to collapse together and people find themselves transformed. Name a thin place? Disney World is not one. Neither is Cancun. But what about Powell's Bookstore? The Empty Quarter in Oman? Perhaps, he says, a thin place shows us earth as it really is, unencumbered.
