Book Review: The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom
In Corrie Ten Boom’s book The Hiding Place she shares her experiences of how She and her family helped hide Jews during World War II and later how she and her sister, Betsie where arrested and eventually taken to Ravensbruck, Germany where thousands of innocent men and women died including Corrie’s sister.
But the story behind the story is how God helped her and protected her as she was in a concentration camp, how her sister Betsie helped her to praise God, even for the fleas that infested their living quarters, and how to overcome hate with love-all with God’s help.
Who would of thought that this fifty-year old lady who lived with her elderly father and sister in a little house above their watchmaker’s shop would ever have a story to tell-a story that she would tell all over the world about God’s work in her life-a story that people more then fifty years later would read?
The Hiding Place was written over 35 years ago but ramians a powerful testimony of God’s love and provision in the midst of severe difficulty.
