Summary: Christ's love helps us endure the hardest of trials.
Review: This is a wonderful story of how in the middle of life hardest times Christ lets it be known that he is there. He is there to help us through and to grown from the experience. In the middle of a concentration camp, with life the gruelest of existances, He help the ten Booms through emotionally and helped Corrie to emerge a stronger Christian. Amazingly, but because of God she came out of the camp full of a new Christlike love for those around her, even those who have held in captivity and beaten her. She truly learned how to love souls as Jesus does.

Summary: One of the most touching Holocaust books ever!
Review: As eighth graders from the Kutztown Jr. High we read Corrie ten Boom's autobiography called The Hiding Place. We enjoyed the book because it explained the struggles through the Holocaust. The point of view is from an underground family, risking their lives to hide the Jews (they were not Jewish themselves.) Be ready for a suspenseful and touching autobiography, as you live your life through Corrie ten Boom's eyes. She goes through many hardships during this horrid time, keeping both her and her family's faith. We hope you decide to pick up this book and read, read, read!

Summary: This book enters the heart like no other
Review: I watched the movie of The Hiding Place in seventh grade. I didn't pay thta much attention because we watched so many movies in that class. Obviously something caught my eye becasue when as a ninth grader I was to do a biography I chose this book. There were parts were I was laughing and others where I was crying. I have heard about the Holocaust many times but never, NEVER has it touched my heart like this book. Between Corrie helping those who she had no particular reason to but she did anyway, and then when she was in the camp and she taught the women with her that God was there for them if they just asked. I am very glad that I chose to read this book because it can teach the world how to be a better plce if we just listen.

Summary: Life Changing
Review: This book was lent to me by a friend who really liked it and said that I would also. After reading the first chapter, I could not put it down. I could not believe the way Corrie Ten Boom 's sister Betsie gave thanks to God for *everything*. It made me rethink the things that I am blessed with and neglect to thank Him for. This book was a real eye-opener for me and I'm thankful I read it!

Summary: The Lord is my sheherd...
Review: I read this book very early in my walk with the Lord, and it had a greater impact on my fledgling faith than any sermon or pastor ever could. The faith that both she and her sister demonstrated in the worst possible circumstances, is something to aspire to. Throughout I cried tears of awe at the Lords mercy, tears for her tremendous loss, and tears of thansgiving that this experience did not shake her faith in any way.

Summary: The most dramatic proof that suffering makes us grow.
Review: Being a psychologist, I am always looking for ways to better understand how it is that we can suffer the most horrifying atrocities imaginable and come out the other side with even more faith than before. Corrie ten Boom's story -- her true story -- is proof that the human spirit is capable of growing even under the most painful, frightening circumstances. Anyone who has even a trivial interest in the events of World War II or in the power of faith should read this book. Its credibility speaks for itself; Corrie ten Boom and her sister Betsie lived through the horrifying experience of being held both in German prison and concentration camp, and this story of their experience is priceless. There are lots of accounts of concentration camp life out there, but this one really is special. It tells the reader to look closely at the blessings that are always around even if they are disguised as something else. More importantly, it reminds the reader that no person is eve! r really alone unless they wish to be. This book changed my life.

Summary: This woman's story changed my life.
Review: This is a heart-breaking story yet one that is filled with hope. Miss Ten Boom's story is of course just one out of millions who suffered and were tortured yet it is so thoughtfully recounted that one can't help but be touched by it. The autobiographical accounts of the Holocaust are a gift to our society. Even if you don't share Miss Ten Boom's religious beliefs you will not be able to forget her story.

Summary: The true experience of a survivor will leave you breathless.
Review: One of the things that makes this book so different from other books is that it is a real story. The story takes place in Haailem, Holland in 1942, the time in which Adolf Hitler was in rule. The Holocaust was a dramatic time for the Jews, as well as for the people involved in helping them, people like Corrie ten Boom, the author of this book, and her family. The ten Boom's were Christian and were not in agreeement with Hitler's rule.They did not neglect Jews when they came to them for help. "If I stand behind, I will opn my door to anyone that knocks for help," Mr. Ten Boom once said. This watchmaker's family was motivated by the growth of discrimination in Europe to become involved. Corrie was forty-five at the time and had an older sister, Betsie. The family business was "Ten Boom Watches," which her father's father had created some one hundred years ago. The two sisters were attached to their father. Later in the story they were all separated and locked up in a prison for helping the Jews in scaping from the Nazis. The ten Boom's took this people into their home and hid them in a secret room. The courrageous family put their lives at risk by doing what they thought was correct. However, their faith toward God was too big to fade away, and that kept them from giving up. Corrie and her sister were together most of the way, but after this immence battle, Corri wrote her amazing story in this book. The Hiding Place is a fabulous book. Especially for people who love to read real stories. This is a topic which most of us know enough to recognize what sort of things go on in a concentration camp. This gives the book an even stronger impact. Corrie ten Boomis a woman that I admire tremendously after reading this book. I firmly belive this is a great book which, hopefully, everyone can get their hands on and read!
