Product Description
Corrie Ten Boom stood naked with her older sisterBetsie, watching a concentration camp matronbeating a prisoner."Oh, the poor woman,"Corrie cried."Yes. May God forgive her,"Betsie replied. And, once again, Corrie realized thatit was for the souls of the brutal Nazi guardsthat her sister prayed.
Here is a book aglowwith the glory of God and the courage of a quietChristian spinster whose life was transformed byit. A story of Christ's message and the courageouswoman who listened and lived to pass it along --with joy and triumph!

 This book saved my life July 16, 2008

I will not go into detail on this very public site about what this author, and her book, mean to me. Suffice it to say that I would not be alive today, without having heard Corrie's message of God's infinite love.
As a psychiatrist, I have bought, and given away to patients, at least 50 copies of this book over the past two decades. It is more powerful than the strongest of antidepressants.
Corrie ten Boom is a saint. She will not be officially recognized as such by the Catholic Church since she was nominally a Protestant. I say nominally, because her heart, like God's, was deep enough and wide enough to encompass and embrace all people, no matter what "religion" they practiced. Corrie's religion was Love.
Wonderful book.... June 21, 2008

The Hiding Place should be read by EVERY Christian. Corrie and her sister's testimony in this book is just like reading the Bible's testimony of the new Believers! Need to feel inspired? Read The Hiding Place.

This book is beautiful inside and out. The outside is burgundy leather? bound with gold stamped letters. Very classic looking. The story itself is so well written, Corrie ten Boom draws you into her family. To hear how God worked miracles in spite of German occupation and concentration camps, and the lack of money and resources, was very faith building. I highly recommend this book.
Most Inspirational, ...A true source of strength and guidance!!! March 22, 2008

I was fortunate to meet Corrie Ten Boome in Rome, Ga. when she gave a lecture! Later, My husband took me to Haarlem, the Netherlands to see her home,when I was going thru a particularly hard time in my life, as he had heard me speak of her and her brave story so many times! She and her family, her sister, showed the most extraordinary courage and strength of faith in the most horrible circumstances. Her father's explanation of death:..."Just like I gave you your tickets, The Lord gives us our ticket when we get on the train"....an example of how he always gave his daughters their tickets right before they got on the train to Amsterdam....A must read.. Different aspects will mean different things to different people. Also, as I have re=read it over the years, it has given different encouragement to me in different circumstances. Please don't miss this book.
Boring? Give me a break. March 19, 2008

I laugh at the kids saying it's boring. "Well my school made me read it and I didn't like it! Waahh!"
My school made me read it(twice I think) and I love(d) it. I can see the reason for one saying it's boring, but this a AUTOBIOGRAHPY. Not always life moves so fast. Never once did I think it was boring. Buy it.
