Book Reviews of The Hiding Place
Book Review: Inspired
Summary: 5 Stars
This story is a serious faith builder. Reading about the testing and trials of Corrie and her family will, I believe, encourage you to press on through your own life circumstances. It is clear example of the miraculous ways of God and how following Him can lead you into places you never dreamed. God never said this life would be easy and He never demanded that we do everything perfectly; this testimony shows that when we are faithful to follow, He provides the grace we need to overcome every obstacle and His mercy to shine the light of hope and truth wherever He leads! Enjoy and be encouraged!Book Review: Inspiring True Story
Summary: 5 Stars
Set in Holland during WWII, this is the true story of sweet, devoutly religious family who defy their Nazi occupiers. Each member of the family contribute their part in helping the Jews of Holland hide or escape the Nazi round ups.
Corrie, a mild mannered spinster in her 50's becomes a leader in the Dutch resistance before she is caught and sent with her gentle sister to the notorious concentration camp, Ravensbrook. There they minister to the spiritual needs of their fellow prisoners. They never regret the choices they made to stand for what is right and just, even in the midst of physical and emotional suffering.
The heroism of this family and the strength of their unwavering Christian faith in the most evil environment imaginable, make it the most inspiring book I have ever read. I reread this book every couple of years because I want to remind myself that if I am ever faced with the moral dilemmas presented during WWII, I want to stand against evil with the strength and resolve shown by the Ten Boom family.
Book Review: Inspiring and highly recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
Because it is a well written, first-hand account of what Jews and non-Jews went through in the Nazi prisons and concentration camps of WWII, it has great historical value, thus every middle or high school should make this required reading for their students. It gives insight into the evil that humans are capable of doing and what faith can do to help one overcome this evil. You find yourself wondering if you could survive the experiences that they suffered through. I look forward to the other books by Corrie ten Boom.Book Review: It Remains with Me
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is inspirational, not just an interesting read, though it is that, too. I read many books on the Holocaust years ago, and this one has a message of faith that has remained with me.Book Review: Love the Book, Hate the Shipping
