Overview

At one time Corrie ten Boom would have laughed at the idea that there would ever be a story to tell. For the first fifty years of her life, nothing at all out of the ordinary had ever happened to her. She was an unmarried watchmaker living contentedly with her sister and their elderly father in the tiny Dutch house over their shop. Their uneventful days, as regulated as their own watches, revolved around their abiding love for one another. However, with the Nazi invasion and occupation of Holland, everything changed.
Corrie ten Boom and her family became leaders in the Dutch Underground, hiding Jewish people in their home in a specially-built room and aiding their escape from the Nazis. For their help, all but Corrie found death in a concentration camp. THE HIDING PLACE is their story.

The Hiding Place

Written by Bertha Webb on September 15th, 2007

  • Book Rating: 5/5

This books was fantastic. It was well read and the story was one every American should read, especially now when we are again faced with a horrific enemy. The story was one of doing what is right when all around you is wrong, and counting on God's strength to get you through. The horrors of German occupation and concentration camp were told in a way gentle way. While the reader felt like they were there, they also were spared some of the worst parts, because this lady preferred to look at what was given from God, not what was taken away by man.
