From the Publisher
Corrie Ten Boom stood naked with her older sister Betsie, watching a concentration camp matron beating a prisoner."Oh, the poor woman," Corrie cried."Yes. May God forgive her," Betsie replied. And, once again, Corrie realized that it was for the souls of the brutal Nazi guards that her sister prayed.
Here is a book aglow with the glory of God and the courage of a quiet Christian spinster whose life was transformed by it. A story of Christ's message and the courageous woman who listened and lived to pass it along -- with joy and triumph!

About the Author
Corrie Ten Boom was a writer and historian. She was born in the Netherlands in 1892. In February of 1944, an informer turned the Ten Boom family in to the Gestapo for hiding Jews in their watch and clock shop. Six family members and 30 friends were arrested. Casper, Betsie, and Christiaan Ten Boom died as prisoners. Because of a clerical error, Corrie Ten Boom was released, one week before all the women her age were killed. Ten Boom went on to tell her message of survival for the next 32 years in countries throughout the world. Her story became both a book and a movie titled The Hiding Place. Ten Boom died on April 15, 1983.

Average Read....
I am not sure whether half of the stories narrated are really true. The transformation from a frustrated small-town religious bigot to an "underground" heroine seems rather far-fetched. Too good to be true and please stop proselytizing; Jesus can be loved without being a Christian and those who don't beleive that are the biggest fools on earth!
Believe in the love of Jesus and miracles in the midst of horror.
Story is a little slow at first but once it gets going..... Wow! What the Nazi's did to people is beyond inhumane. The real important part of the story is the woman writing it and her sister. Their love and devotion to Jesus in the most hideous circumstances proves Jesus overcomes all. What a miracle!
An opinion on The Hiding Place
