Summary: I had the chance to meet her personally.
Review: I was a missionary in Honduras in 1988, helping Doctors translate in Spanish. We were some 60 miles north of the capital city, sitting around a fire. Diet's story lasted about 2.5 hours long for us. We were engrossed with her story. Afterwards, I pulled her aside and told her that she needed to write this down before she was physically unable to do so. She started to give me excuses why this couldn't happen from not being a good writer to other writers (ghost writers) not conveying her sentiment. I Praise God that she finally took the time to get her story down! Thank you DIET!

Summary: Good Read
Review: If you liked "The Hiding Place" you will also enjoy this book. The book has elements that "The Hiding Place" does not, such as the love story between the author and her fiance. If you like accounts of WW2, or if you want a moving story, this is the book for you.

Summary: Finding G-d When We've Lost Everything Else
Review: This book is an inspiration and I belive that Deit is one of the great role models we should have our kids look up to. I am an Orthodox Jew living in Israel. We are all G-d's children (we all stem from Noah)and Deit's love for mankind and her faith in G-d is an inspiration to anyone who reads her story. Sometimes we have to lose almost everything before we can make room for G-d. I just hope mankind never has to come to this point again, and that we find G-d and G-d's love and goodness through appreciation for the things we already have been blessed with - and not through pain and suffering. I am the daughter of a holocaust survivor from Poland and yet today we are fighting another evil. I pray that Westerners don't get too soft in their cushy and easy lives to fight the evil we face today through terrorism. Although life can be a challenge for anyone, whether they enjoy a relatively easy life or not, we need to find the strength of heroes like Deit, and not tolerate the hatred and intolerance coming out of the east. We need to realize just how easy, and how good we really have it today, yet have that strength within us to eradicate the terrorism we and others face today. This book makes one count their blessings. Thank you Deit and all others like you, Jews and Gentiles who had the stamina, bravery, and blessing to see to the defeat of the evil Nazi empire. May we see the defeat of the terrorists around the world today.

Summary: Making the Right Choices
Review: This is the most encouraging book I have ever read about the holocaust. It beckons the reader to stand up and do the right thing in the midst of an overpowering adversary. It is Diet Eman's story of love, adventure, and courage. It is a book written with a disarming openness that is founded in her faith in God. After reading this book, you can't help but admire and love this wonderful Christian woman and her fiance', Hein Sietsma. Hein Sietsma died in Dachau on January 20, 1945.

Summary: Beautiful and touching story
Review: Wow - what a book. Diet and her friends were certainly God's hands and heart in their work. They loved so big - so courageously. I would so like to meet her. It would be an honor to be able to talk with her about how she lived her faith out. To her it is so real. Reading her book has made me wonder what she thinks - or what we think - of our "convenient lifestyle" as Americans. And how we treat each other. Diet risked her life many times for her neighbors - and I do not even know all of the people in my small neighborhood. Thank you Diet for your writing your book. I am sure it was a struggle to put all of the stories back together in your mind and then write them out. Yeah for you. Christ's peace, Paula Gallagher Carlsbad CA
