Love has never been so painfully revealed and within these pages lies a depiction of such true and tangible faith that each heart exposed to its light must weep in realization of how much shorter we have fallen of God's glory than we ever wanted to admit.I love this book...” see full review » see other reviews » |

“One of my all-time favorite books. This story showed me what a person who exhibits the qualities of Christ should look like. And, Corrie ten Boom was just that person. Of the two greatest commandments, Jesus said, 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' (Matthew 22:37-39)

Corrie ten Boom as a woman of faith not only loved God, but she also loved her neighbor, the Jews who were being rounded up by the German Nazis. And she was willing to die for them.
"Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."
(John 15:13)
Corrie ten Boom will have many crowns in Heaven for her love of God and her love for neighbor. I thank God for people like Corrie ten Boom who remind me of what it really means to be a Christian.”
“Excellent book, true story re: a holocaust survivor. Her wonderful life of faith and inspiration by a humble spirit. It inspires all of us who have faith and those who need faith. Corrie Ten Boom had a long life as a survivor and was a great orator. ”

“ "The Hiding Place"

by Corrie Ten Boom
This book is about the Holocaust. I believe that everyone should be taught about the Holocaust at the age when they can understand about current events. The authors themes are that if you try you will succeed. She wrote the book to tell everyone her life story. She also wanted everyone to know how terrible the Holocaust was. She was trying to prove that if you try to hide from danger, it will sometimes help you. The book takes place in Haarlem, Holland in the 1940's during the Holocaust. The subtopics in this book are that Corries' family has a bad history of tuberculosis, and her mother and aunt are dying from tuberculosis. Corrie then has to stay hidden while also help nurture her mother back to health. I was impressed to find out that the Holocaust effected Holland. I learned that there are not many people that tried to help the Jews escape. I liked the book very much. It was a very interesting novel, and I am interested in books on the Holocaust. This book is directed to teenagers who have already learned about the Holocaust. They should also be interested in history because this book is all about history. To sum it up this book taught a very big lesson on the Holocaust and was very interesting.”
“Incredible, powerful, spiritual journey of 2 remarkable women beating the odds. I laughed, cried, and lived the story of the Ten Boom women.”

She's written many other books, too - they're on my reading list. ^_^ Yes, I do have a reading list, with an impossible number of books on it. Hey, but with God, all thing are possible, right?”
