Avis sur le produitThe Hiding Place by Elizabeth Sherrill, Corrie Ten Boom and John Sherrill (1996, Trade Paperback, Anniversary)

Book isn't excessivley long and is easy to read.

Had heard of this story for some time, but had not taken the time to finally read it. Purchased book and when I began to read it, literally couldn't seem to put it down. I began reading one day and finished it the next. Even though the story took place over 60 years ago, its message is still very pertinent for our day. In the wake of all the anger and hatred being spewed around our world today, I'm reminded of the old adage (which is so very true), "Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it!" If we would all do our best to emulate the care and concern the ten Boom family showed others, how much better our world would be.Lire l'avis complet...

Heart-felt gratitude for those who see good in others.

I bought this product because it was recommended by my Sunday School literature and the book was also recommended by a very dear friend, my pastor's wife. The true story is about Corrie Ten Boom who became a missionary for the gospel of Jesus Christ after she and her family experienced being held captive during the time of concentration camps in Germany under Hitler's regime. I can't say that I didn't like anything in the book itself. I just didn't like how Corrie, her family and many thousands of others were so wrongfully treated. But I can say this, "Praise God!" for how Corrie used this horrible experience after she and her family members suffered. I really can't compare this book to any other because I've not read a true-life story such as this. I am, however, currently reading "The Diary of Anne Frank", which is also a true story of one who went through hiding from the German army. We still have this kind of inhumane torture in the world today. Will we ever learn? I pray that Jesus soon returns. Only then will those who acknowledge Christ as their Savior be saved from such cruel and unwarranted punishment. Amen.Lire l'avis complet...

An excellent book that I highly recommend!

This is my favorite book of all time next to the Bible. Corrie Ten Boom shares her life story of adversity and her triumph overcome during Hitler's reign through the strength of Christ. She was imprisoned because she provided a hiding place for the Jewish people whom she had an immense deep love and respect for as the Chosen People. Her testimony lives on albeit she passed in 1983. Her epitaph reads "Jesus is Victor". This book reflects the choices in life and through difficult times even her being starved, beaten, abused and isolated she chose to become better rather than bitter. I purchased this book for my aunt. I highly recommend it!Lire l'avis complet...

Makes you want to know more about "The Hiding Place"

This book had my reading attention from page 1 until the very last page. You could almost feel that you was with Corrie and her sister Betsie every day and night. An awesome read.

Living your Faith

Corrie Ten Boom has such a strong story of Christian Love and Compassion. Though she wasn't a Jew, she became a prisoner of the concentration camp. In her case, despite the horrible things that happened to her, LOVE triumphed over all. I highly suggest this book.Lire l'avis complet...

Awesome book!

A great story of an awesome woman who survived during a time of pure evil! She and so many like her survived such horror that we today could not even imagine! I only wished I could have met her!
