Book Reviews of The Hiding Place
Book Review: Exceedingly encouraging for anyone living in troubled times
Summary: 5 Stars
Corrie's experiences and how God carried her through will remind Christians that no matter what we ever face, God will be with us and give us strength to endure. I have many times told people about Corrie and how her story gives comfort that we can trust God through every storm, no matter how horrendous. I highly recommend everyone read her story.Book Review: Fan-tas-tic.
Summary: 5 Stars
Great, great book. Inspiring, heart wrenching. Great message about God's faithfulness, but should in no way be boxed in as Christian literature. A great historical book no matter what your faith. Loved it.Book Review: Genell's Review
Summary: 5 Stars
The book was sad in the fact that doing good led them to be put into prison camps in Germany for trying to save lives of their friends and others they did not know. On the other hand, it taught you a lot about faith, how strong their faith was even when they were being ill treated. It was a wonderful book and they were wonderful people who did not seem to know strangers, certainly followed the good book.Book Review: God Is Right Here
Summary: 4 Stars
In a small, little town in Holland lived a simple watchmaker and his family who loved God above all else. In The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom, she takes us on a magnificent journey of faith, love, and hope. Corrie was a simple person who took after her father in the business. Her mind clicked when it came to restoring watches, but when the Nazi regime started snatching the Jews, she became part of the underground for hiding Jews.
This book chronicles her journey from the home where her family lived (along with her father & sister) through her imprisonment in some of the worst concentration camps. Corrie shares of her strong faith, and her lack of faith at times. She begs God for safe passage of people and Bibles. She begs God for divine appointments. And God grants her these things at times.
As I listened to this book, my heart became overwhelmed by the faith needed to do the things that Corrie did. To hide Jews. Could I do such a thing today? I would like to say "yes", but I don't know that for sure. I had started and stopped this book many times in my life, but this was the first time I had finished it - I guess my heart wasn't ready to hear the message.
This book shares the story of faith, hope and love during one of the most troublesome times in the history of our modern life. I encourage you to listen to this story.
Book Review: Great Shape!!
