Book Review: a book that changes lives
Summary: 5 Stars
Recently at a dinner party, a friend asked what is the one book that has had the most influence in your life. I immediately thought of "The Hiding Place".
Corrie's story is so moving partly because of the events that took place, but more by Corrie's humility. Her mannerism is almost matter of fact as she describes the remarkable things that happened to her and her family. She never once shows any attempt to be anything than other herself as she works to save the lives of others. She takes no recognition on herself but shines it on everyone else, most especially on her saintly sister.
This is simply a great book about an amazing person!
Book Review: classic: don't miss it!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my favorite books and, having recently reread it, I can assure you it is one of the best books out there about Holocaust rescuers. It is also a very fast read and suitable for children who are in middle-school and older. Finally, the author has a very spiritual perspective on her experiences, one that, in my opinion, transcends the Christian framework in which it is presented. Young people and adults alike will be moved by her capacity to forgive--in the end-- those who nearly killed her, and who did kill her friends. Plus this book is very gripping....there's a reason it was made into a feature film. In short: don't miss it! It is one of the most moving books you are likely to read ever. If you want more suggestions about Holocaust rescuer books see my Listmania list. There are some other good ones out there such as The Heart Has Reasons: Holocaust Rescuers and Their Stories of Courage which profiles other people like Corrie ten Boom who did similar things in Holland. There is also In My Hands: Memories of a Holocaust Rescuer which tells the story of a lady in Poland who did something similar to what Corrie did in Holland.Book Review: my grandmother's favorite book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was my grandmother's favorite. I remember reading it as a kid, and not understanding alot of it - I certainly didn't understand the Holocaust, or what it meant to love others unconditionally. It took me a while to remember who wrote this book, and it find it at the library, but it was worth it.
This is a very quick read, as far as number of pages go, but I found myself having to read it in small bits, in order to take it in.
For a totally different look at living through the Holocaust, read this.
Book Review: this book has stood the test of time
Summary: 5 Stars
This excellent book has remained on the market and sold in many languages because it is a masterpiece of nonfiction. The story provides human interest, adventure, intrigue, suspense and even a healthy dose of comic relief. It is informative, entertaining and well written. Reading it was a pleasure and I have often given it as a gift.
