Summary: So inspiring could be used as a devotional
Review: I read this book with a box of Kleenex!I think a better way to have read it is daily, like a devotional. The chapters are short, 6 pages tops, and they take one scripture as the theme. Corrie would go into how that scripture was driven home to her, through certain circumstances. The only suggestion I would give is to first read The Hiding Place, you will have a better understand of what this woman went through, and how she was used by God. This book goes into life after the concentration camps, so it is good to have a knowledge of what her life was like before.

Summary: ehh
Review: I was expecting this book to be more like "The Hiding place" (A very very very good book). I had to stop with two or three chapters left because I couldn't take it any more.

Summary: Read and reread to fully absorb this great book.
Review: This book is probably one of the most influencial Christian books that I have read besides the Bible- and I read a lot. I was struck by her simplicity in response to many questions in life. I was also challenged to live a life where I am walking in God's spirit. I would whole-heartedly recommend this book- but you should really read and re-read the text to let it sink in.

Summary: Great sequel to "The Hiding Place"
Review: This sequel to The Hiding Place is a book filled with short chapters which take place all over the world and at different times of Corrie's life. If you haven't yet read The Hiding Place, I recommend that you should read that book first. Since this book is a collection of short anecdotes, it's not necessary to read it straight through. I especially enjoyed the chapter entitled "God's Word, the Sword - God's Perfect Weapon". You will be inspired by "One Finger for His Glory" which describes an old woman, crippled with MS, who used one finger to type out translations of the books of Billy Graham, Corrie, and Watchman Nee into her own Russian language. Please check out my review of "Anywhere He Leads Me", a book of devotionals by Corrie Ten Boom, compiled by Judith Couchman. I highly recommend this book and this book is what got me interested in reading "The Hiding Place". God bless you!
