Book Reviews of Five Silent Years of Corrie ten Boom, The
Book Review: For those who love the author Corrie ten Boom.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you never read or met Corrie ten Boom, a popular Christian author in the 1970's-1980's, this is a good book to begin.
Then get the DVD from Billy Graham films, "The Hiding Place" and purchase the book "Tramp for the Lord" - and hang on to your hat.
Who would have thought a little old spinster and her sister along with an elder grandfather would have the adventure of their lives? And in the process teach us all lessons about the simplicity that Christian faith can be - and its strength when stripped of all pretense of religion.
This work covers the last years of Corrie ten Boom's life, and is a beautiful story of the care given to a servant of God in her old age, a work about death and care for family that is frail, and the beauty of a homecoming of a this solid dutch lady.
Corrie ten Boom was a favorite author to me in my teen years. This work provided a loving closure to her life and answered many questions - such as, how did she die? where did she go later in life when we did not here much about her? was she happy and at peace? and many others are answered in this carefully crafted and joyful work by Pamela Rosewell Moore.
Summary of Five Silent Years of Corrie ten Boom, The
Pam Roswell Moore had her doubts when she interviewed to be companion of the much-loved author Corrie ten Boom. Corrie's best-selling book The Hiding Place, which recounted how she and her family had hidden Jews during World War II in Holland until their betrayal and arrest by the Nazis, had launched for Corrie a worldwide ministry of travel and speaking. Awed by the spiritual challenge this companionship posed, Pam wondered how she could keep up with the energetic 83-year-old. But God knit a strong bond between the young Englishwoman and the remarkable Dutch evangelist. Then Corrie suffered a stroke. Hospitalization followed; physical therapy; then long, loving hours at home. Corrie regained a little mobility for a time -- until the next strokes hit. She never regained her speech. But the ministry that had touched millions continued as Corrie communicated through her eyes, through elaborate guessing games with those around her, through silent intercession for people God brought to mind. For those five silent years of imprisonment, Corrie's spiritual depth offered mute testimony to her ongoing trust in her heavenly Father. The details of these years will move all who loved Corrie ten Boom. They will encourage those involved with the elderly or handicapped -- and those who are themselves bedridden -- that God is at work mysteriously in and through even the most incapacitated. This book attests to the truth Corrie loved so dearly: that, in spite of everything else, Jesus is always Victor.Religious Books
