Rating: Summary: Only halfway there Review: This book was an okay book but wasn't quite up to my standards. I would have liked to read something with less religous nonsense in it. For example I read a book about two little kids who were in a concentrstion camp. Unforyunatly I can not remember the title. It was a good book for people who haven't read this sort of stuff before. I think that people need to read lots of thesse kinds of books to understand tyhe holocaust.
Rating: Summary: VERY VERY SLOW BOOK Review: The hidng place is a very slow book. Although, once it starts to pick up, you might start to like it, but i didn't. This book was a waste of my time. I would never have read it if my school had not forced me to. The writing is actually very good, but the plot itself takes a long time to establish itself.
Rating: Summary: My, I could have been taking up ballet dancing. Review: Wow. I really didn't like this book. She foreshadows way tooo much, and overall i think i could have used my time better playing nintendo. If you're going to read a book, try Terry Pratchett or something. This is a poorly written book. The story is touching, but it is really not that good of a book.
Rating: Summary: An Autobiography by an Amazing Christian Woman Review: Corrie's time in prison, a concentration camp, and Ravensbruck would have made most people welcome death, but Corrie gained the understanding that God's plan is made perfect through His son, Jesus. No matter how bad things got, she still was able to praise God in all circumstances. Corrie's autobiography shows us "that Jesus can turn loss into victory." I see now that God's plan is bigger and better than mine.
Rating: Summary: Immortal Classic - Follow it up with Amy George's book Review: After reading this WWII memoir by Corrie Ten Boom, which gives an incomparable lesson on the nature of forgiveness, you may be looking for another great book. Get Amy George's "Goodbye is not for ever" - a very different but equally powerful and moving WWII autobiographical memoir. God bless Corrie Ten Boom.
Rating: Summary: The Hiding Place Review: This story has to be the best story I have ever read. It's the kind of story that grabs you. It was amazing to see how God works in people's lives. When I started reading it, I became interested and couldn't stop reading until I was done. The story takes place during world War 2, and it is about two wonen named Corrie Ten Boom and Betsie. They were Christian wonen and loved God with all their hearts. At this particular time, Hitleer was persecuting the Jews because he thought they were a pest to the human race. During World War 2, Corrie took Jews into her house and let them stay there. She had many ways of hiding them from the Nazi guards. She would hide the Jews in the walls whenever the guards came near the house. jAt the risk of her life and her family's lives, would hide them because they felt it was the right thing to do. As the story goes on, she gets caught hiding some Jewish people in her house, and both she and her sister are shipped to a concentration camp. While she was there, she saw many horrors. It was amazing what the guards would do to the jewish people. The Nazis were very cruel to Corrie and her sister, and put them through many hardships. It was only by God's grace that they made it out in good shape. God never left them even through all the terrible times they experienced.
Rating: Summary: This book changed my life! Review: A few years ago, when I was dealing with Anxiety attacks, I thought my life was bad and it couldn't get any worse. My counselor suggested I read this book to show me that no matter how bad things got, I always had a Hiding Place from suffering... that place was with the Lord Jesus Christ. Corrie Ten Boom writes of going through an ordeal that most people couldn't imagine in their worst nightmares. Yet, through it all, she kept and even gained strength by trusting in the Lord. For anyone who is going through a tough time in their life, this book is for you. After reading this book, I realized my problems were very small and I was comforted knowing at anytime there was someone I could turn to for love, re-assurance and eternal salvation. My Lord Jesus Christ....my "Hiding Place".
