Summary: Simple and penetrating
Review: The simplicity of The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom belies the penetrating spirituality that pervades her story. It is not only a story of courage in facing the injustice and persecution of the Nazis, but also deeply spiritual book. Ms. Boom describes her sister's, Betsie's, attitude through imprisonment and her long fatal illness. When Betsie wants to praise God for lice, Corrie is dumbfounded. However, the lice keep the soldiers out of the barracks, thereby allowing them to have their prayer meetings. At another time Betsie tells Corrie that after the war they will have to have a home for the victims of the war. Corrie assumes she means the Jews and others who were imprisoned. But Betsie meant the soldiers. Betsie knew instinctively that having participated in the evil of the camps, these soliders would need redemption. Corrie was humbled by these responses of her sister.The beauty of this book is that it demonstrates faith in the midst of horror. And this faith is the kind of faith Jesus expressed on the cross when he asked his Father to forgive those who killed him. In that sense this simple book is quiet challenging. One feels such anger at the evil portrayed here. And the book is not vindictive. Corrie's own spiritual growth comes in stages. One can appreciate how she moves from anger and hatred to love.

Summary: an amazing, encouraging, challenging story
Review: I don't remember how I came to read this book, but I'm so glad I did, not only for the story of the Ten Boom's faith and courage in the face of Evil incarnate, but also for the story of Corrie and her family and their daily walk with the Lord even before the war, which made them strong in the Lord when they had to hold the line. For years, I've remembered Corrie's Aunt's prayer "I thank You, Lord, that You have done all -- all on the cross, and that all we need in life or in death is to be sure of this" when I have been tempted to despair about my life. I owe Corrie and her family a lot -- I can't wait to tell them so!

Summary: The victorious story of Corrie Ten Boom.
Review: This story is emotionally hard to read sometimes and I'm sure you'll find a tear or two somewhere in this classic novel about a courageous family dedicated to saving all the Jews they can from Hitler's Nazis. This story teaches us that miracles do happen today and how great God is to us- even in the barracks of an unfriendly German concentration camp.

Summary: This is one of the best books I believe I have ever read.
Review: This book was so interesting that I would recomend it to just about everyone I knew. I had to read it in the seventh grade and I didn't like to read, but after I read this book I really believe it made me like to read more. I now love to read books about the Holocaust such as people that helped the Jews during the Holocaust or things like "The Diary of Anne Frank".

Summary: Every word of 'Hiding Place' was written with God's Love
Review: I thank the Lord in my prayers for bringing Corrie & her family into my life & that of my children, even though it is only through her books. When I first read the book, I went & bought all the other ones by her. At least all the ones I could find. I have grown spiritually and her book has been an inspiration as well as help in some of my personal struggles. No one should miss out. I recommend her books constantly to everyone I know & I use her stories to encourage others as well as witness.

Summary: The story was an outstanding piece of World History.
Review: Corrie ten Boom is one of the most courageous women that I have heard of. A person with that much love for God, can take all of our hearts away. It makes you stop and think, "Would I do that for other people or would I just help myself?" Even when she was in solitaire imprisonment she fed the ants crumbs of her own food. She and Betsie led each person that they were grouped with in a cell to believe that God was watching out for each one of them and that he loved them. Instead of the women fighting in their cell, they spoke with manners and learned to love each other. She didn't think of her family passing away as something horrible, she thought of it as uplifting and that they were lucky that they got to go home to the Father. She is a hero to me because she thought of the good in the worst situations. Even when the going got tough, she would pray to God to let her think of the best for each situation.

Summary: One of the best books I've ever read - over and over again
Review: A book so touching that it leaves a clear and concise message that we are all innocent of the life and circumstances that we are born into. From that moment on we are taught to hate or (hopefully) to love all those that exist in the same world as we, regardless of their or our own circumstances or convictions. Corrie Ten Boom is a true hero...a saint...an angel from God.

Summary: This book was very interesting
Review: Lacie Allen: This is one of the best books I've ever read. It is most definately the best biography I've ever read. Corrie ten Boom really knocked it into my head what some people go through, and I would recommend it to anyone who is not afraid to know the truth.
