Once you have started the book you cannot put it down until finished.

Timeless

Reading through some of these reviews and I can see I'm not alone in my love for this book. I read it several years ago. I was so impressed with it, I bought and read all books authored by Corrie Ten Boom.

The Ten Boom family is one of the most inspirational Christian families in print. Her sister Betsie, was an absolute angel, not of this earth. I couldn't believe the faith of that woman. Her father was an oak of a man himself. Too kind on occasion to demand payment for fixing watches, his livelihood. Some people has commented this book should be required reading, I agree.

With the outbreak of World War Two all of Europe was thrust into dire circumstances. But in the hand of God, these ordinary unknown at the time Christians, did the impossible. We all need examples like this to see for ourselves what self sacrifice really looks like. This book helped me to understand the light true Christianity is capable of shining when darkness closes in. In my opinion one of the greatest stories ever told. The impression it left on me was pivotal in helping to humble me, right to the foot of the cross where Jesus Christ died for me.

Several miracles happen along the way, utterly astonishing! A "must read" for sure if any book deserves that title.

One of the Best Books I've Ever Read

Without question, one of the best books I have ever read, The Hiding Place should be required reading for any Christian. This gripping account of the life of Corrie Ten Boom is full of stories of the great power and glory of God, experienced by those who were going through the darkest times of World War II.

One of my fears in picking up this book was that it, like other World War II memoirs of those who were brutalized by the Nazis, would be full of gruesome tales and vivid descriptions. While the reader certainly understands that horrible things took place in the camps, Ten Boom and her coauthors simply do not focus on using horrible events to shock their readers. Instead, in an amazingly Christlike way, Corrie and Betsy looked through the horror of the circumstances to the ways in which God was with them.

Christians who read this book will learn more vividly some of the glorious truths of the Bible. Readers learn how to give thanks to God in all circumstances as they watch Corrie learn to be thankful for fleas and an ant. Christians will learn of the power of God's word to truly sustain those who rely on it through hardships. Believers will learn of the great hope of heaven which allows us to walk through the hardships of this life. Christians will see self-sacrifice, familial love, and even how to love their enemies in a way that is seldom taught in our world today.

If you are a believer who has not read this text, which looks a little like Little House on the Prairie meets World War II Germany, I cannot urge you strongly enough to set aside a few hours and allow your heart to be touched by this gripping, true tale.

A Great Lesson on Forgiveness and Love

As a young adult, this book had an impact on my life second only to the Bible. As a teacher, I wanted to give the same opportunity to several young people of whom I an exceptionally fond. With that in mind, I recently purchased five copies to give to high school graduating seniors. The selfless love and forgiving spirits in the face of intense pain and suffering of the ten Boom family can be an inspiration and guide to all who read this gripping true story. Amyone who doubts what happened during the Holocaust should read this book.

Enter into The Hiding Place to relive Corrie ten Boom's heart-pounding account as a leader in the Dutch Underground during World War II. In this latest release from Focus on the Family's Radio Theatre, you'll find tragedy, perseverance, and the reality of God's amazing love. With a cast of internationally acclaimed actors, cinema-quality sound effects, and full orchestration, you'll experience this classic, real-life story like never before.
