| You Will Not Be The Same After Reading This Book | |
| I first picked up "The Hiding Place" in 1989, following the death of my brother. I read it from cover to cover in one evening, then read it again in the next two days. "The Hiding Place" is not only a thrilling tale, set in the midst of war torn, Nazi occupied Holland, it is a spiritual journey of one woman and one family. You will feel as if you know Corrie, as if you are visiting with her in your own home. You'll feel every indignity she suffered and rejoice with every triumph. Your heart will break for her and her sister Betsie and your spirit will sing with them also. If you want to read a book that will change your life forever then you must read "The Hiding Place". If I was able to choose only three books to cherish for the remainder of my life on earth I would choose the Bible, "Hinds Feet on High Places" by Hannah Hurnard and Corrie Ten Boom's "The Hiding Place". I cannot wait to meet you in heaven Corrie. | |
| lots of sadness, but filled of joy | |
| This story is heartbreaking - I cry every time I read it. But what makes it so wonderful is how much hope and joy and encouragement it holds as well. This story is told through the eyes of Corrie Ten Boom, who, with her father, sister, and a network of underground Dutch patriots, hide Jews in her home during the Nazi occupation in WWII. Corrie suffers tremendously for her actions, and it is within the confines of a concentration camp that some incredibly profound lessons are learned. One of the beautiful things about this book is how honest Ms. Ten Boom is about her faults and failings in herself and her faith. This is contrasted with the absolutely amazing faith of her father, and her sister Betsie. They trust God completely, and their reactions to the pain and suffering they experience are amazing, almost unbelievable. The Hiding Place is beautifully written, and has become a classic in Christian literature. | |
| A beautiful,moving,emotive book. | |
| I have read a number of autobiographys,and expect to read more still. I think i shall be hard-pressed to find another one as beautiful as Corrie's. |
