Book Reviews of The Hiding Place
Book Review: A Definite Must-Read
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me just say, EVERYONE should read this book! If you find the beginning a bit slow, keep reading. Before long, it will be impossible to put down. I first read this book when I was 11 (it took me less than 3 days!); I can't tell you how many times I have read it since. Every time I read it, it's just like the first time for me. READ IT!Book Review: A Lesson in Christ's Unbounded Forgiveness
Summary: 5 Stars
This classic work touches on so many feelings and thoughts. For me, the most interesting part was the one where she came across the SS man who had been at Ravensbruck (p. 238). Hatred and revenge came to Corrie's heart. She could not bring herself to shake his hand. She realized that she could not forgive him in her own power, and so she prayerfully asked for the Lord's forgiveness to flow through her. At once, her hatred melted away and was replaced by overwhelming love. She realized that the Lord, who commands us to love our enemies, also gives us the means to do this.Book Review: A Life-Changing Story
Summary: 5 Stars
Before I read THE HIDING PLACE, I did not know much about Corrie ten Boom. I knew that she helped to rescue Jews during the Holocaust and that was about it. After I read this book, I knew her so well that I felt we were friends. More than that, this book is a HUGE faith-builder for Believers - Jew and Gentile. Her story gives us the awareness of our fragility before the evil of man, and our strength in God when times get rough.
I recommend this book not only to adult Believers, but to kids too. In these Last Days, as the Scripture calls them, it is important to realize that we may be challenged one day like Corrie was. And will we stand?

Book Review: A Moving Tale
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a beautiful, beautiful book. I could read it over and over, and feel touched, inspired, and renewed again. I first tried to read it when I was about twelve years old, but it was two heavy for me. Then I read it a few months ago, and it came alive. This is one book I would definately want to add to my library soon. I love the Ten Boom family - especially Betsy. I am looking forward to meeting them all in heaven someday.Book Review: A Must Read
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is based upon the true account of Corrie Ten Boom who suffered under the Nazi Regime and was placed in a concentration camp for helping the Jews during this dark period in world history. The story is told from a Christian perspective and provides a detailed account of the horrors and injustices committed during Hitler's reign. This book is encouraging in that it proves that even in the most dreadful of circumstances, humans are capable of acting in a noble manner as did Ten Boom. It also serves as a stark reminder of what can happen when people are not vigilant and shows the danger of using the media to control the "masses" as Hitler and his minions did during his short reign in Germany. Indeed, this danger is now greater than ever due to the nature of modern technology and the potential that exists for abuse on the part of depraved individuals. I highly recommend this book.
