Braving the Thin Places: Celtic Wisdom to Create a Space for Grace
Julianne Stanz · 2024
🎙 Narrated by Remie Michelle Clarke
84/100
👍 Worth It
Julianne Stanz weaves her Irish Catholic heritage into a genuinely contemplative take on encountering grace in everyday moments, and the string of awards behind this one isn't just marketing fluff — reviewers and scholars alike have praised her prose. It leans distinctly Catholic, so know that going in if you're coming from a different Christian tradition. Remie Michelle Clarke's narration for a roughly five-hour listen sounds like a fitting match for the reflective tone.
