Summary: Still Remembering It!
Review: I am now 31 and looking for this book for a friend. I have read the reviews and they are my sentiments as well. I first read Corrie's book when I was a new Christian in the 4th grade. I read it over and over. Many times during my straying years after highschool excerpts from the book would come back to me and would put me back into perspective and remind me that God still loves me.

Summary: The Hiding Place was an inspiration to me.
Review: I saw the movie "The Hiding Place" in 5th grade. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, being so young. Now, I am in 11th grade and have read the book at least four times through, and I am now searching the Internet for further information. This book was a great inspiration to me. I very much admire Corrie ten Boom for her bravery and her trust in God to take care of her and her family. She broke all the rules of the German government to obey her Heavenly Authority, and that's something you don't see much of anymore. I am so awed over this woman and her story that I am now planning a trip to Haarlem some time after college. God bless all the men and women involved in spreading Corrie's story across the world!

Summary: You Will Not Be The Same After Reading This Book
Review: I first picked up "The Hiding Place" in 1989, following the death of my brother. I read it from cover to cover in one evening, then read it again in the next two days. "The Hiding Place" is not only a thrilling tale, set in the midst of war torn, Nazi occupied Holland, it is a spiritual journey of one woman and one family. You will feel as if you know Corrie, as if you are visiting with her in your own home. You'll feel every indignity she suffered and rejoice with every triumph. Your heart will break for her and her sister Betsie and your spirit will sing with them also. If you want to read a book that will change your life forever then you must read "The Hiding Place". If I was able to choose only three books to cherish for the remainder of my life on earth I would choose the Bible, "Hinds Feet on High Places" by Hannah Hurnard and Corrie Ten Boom's "The Hiding Place". I cannot wait to meet you in heaven Corrie.

Summary: My favorite out of all of Corrie Ten Boom's Books!
Review: While this is disturbing, it's also uplifting because the book is written form her perspective as a Christian and it portrays that God is in control even under the most difficult circumstances.

Summary: The Hiding Place is a chilling picture of the holocaust.
Review: The Hiding Place is a chilling but all too real picture of the horror of the holocaust. Corrie Ten Boom pours out her soul into this marvelous novel. Her incorporation with her religious perspectives carries the book along. I would reccomend seeing the movie as well as reading the book as the movie complements the horror.

Summary: Amazingly inspirational!
Review: With the recent events in Kosovo, I have devoloped an interest in the tradgedy of the Holocaust. Being a very busy 14-year-old, I don't normally have time to sit down and read, but I made an exception for this book. After reading of all of the horrible events that took place, I have a new perspective on life. I now use every waking moment to enjoy everything I have, especially freedom. I also have learned that God knows best, and He will provide. No matter how terrible things get, He is always watching over us. We should always be thankful for everything He gives us, whether it's a nuisance, such as a flea, or just the chance to enjoy another day, alive and well.

Review: I highly recomend this book to all those who are ready to open their hearts to what man must do to be more Christ like.The effort to save their fellow jews from the terrible masacre of the Holocaust find the Ten Boom's in a situation that allow them to save lives. Going to great lenghts and suffering in jail for them, they are true hero's!
