The Hiding Place - Corrie ten Boom

Title: The Hiding Place Author: Corrie ten Boom Genre: Christian non-fiction, ww2 Rating: 9/10 # pages: 214 Date read: March, 2008

Summary: In World War II, Corrie ten Boom and her family risked their lives to help Jews escape the Nazis, and their reward was a trip to Hitler's concentration camps. But she survived and was released--as a result of a clerical error--and now shares the story of how faith triumphs over evil. The Hiding Place tells the riveting story of how a middle-aged Dutch watchmaker became a heroine of the Resistance, a survivor of Hitler's death camps, and one of the most remarkable evangelists of the twentieth century.

Review: A difficult, but important book to read. I pray that I may never have to go through the hardships Corrie experienced, but that if I do, God will grant me the strength to show the same grace as she and Betsie did. We tend to forget that God didn't stop practising miracles after the time the Bible was written.
