Book Reviews of The Hiding Place
Book Review: Beutiful story!
Summary: 5 Stars
Corrie Ten Boom's autobiography is a very well written story of family life and the help and hope Corrie and her family brought to different people, of different religions, and of different nationalities. It is a beautiful and very descriptive story about seeing the light at the end of the tunnel!Book Review: Biography of a True Christian Heroine
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first book you should read to get to know Corrie Ten Boom, a woman whose life took a dramatic turn when her family was caught up in a turbulent and tragic time when the Nazi's occupied Holland. Corrie, her father and sister were morally convicted to harbor and hide Jews who were facing arrest and deportation. After being betrayed, they were sent to jail, and eventually Corrie and Betsie were sent to Ravensbruck, a German concentration/death camp. Throughout her life, Corrie held onto her Saviour Jesus Christ, and found out that there is no pit too deep that God is not there to pull you out.
Corrie is completed honest and transparent in describing her life. She does not sugarcoat her own mistakes, and the bitterness and hatred she harbored in her heart. She does not make herself out to be a saint. But as a real human being experiencing the depravity of human sin, she in her own power could not forgive or love her enemies. She was incredulous upon hearing her sister Betsie pray for the Nazi's, and as Betsie got physically weaker and weaker, she was strengthened spiritually, encouraging Corrie to let go her hatred, and to spread the word of God's love through the most horrible circumstances. Betsie, before she was set free (passed away), also inspired Corrie to open a home for displaced people after the war. Miraculously Corrie was set free and able to make her way home. She fulfills Betsie's dreams of opening a rest home, and ministering to people who had suffered so much at the hands of evil.
The book ends in 1946. To find out about Corrie's return to Germany and her ministering to former prison guards, make sure to read "Tramp for the Lord."

Summary: 1 Stars
This books starts out really slow. It's really boring but it gts a little bit better. It's depressing though.Book Review: Changed my life
Summary: 5 Stars
Not only is this story amazing, but the heart of this woman ( and her sister) is like none other. I leared a lot from her while reading her book, about what it really means to have a heart for God and about trusting that He is in control of every situation.You will like this book if you enjoy a good story. You will love this book if you long to be inspried, and you will absolutely devour this book if you are trying to live a purpose filled life.
The world would be a better place if this were required reading for all.
