Book Reviews of The Hiding Place (DELUXE CHRISTIAN CLASSICS)
Book Review: Amazing Love, Courage, and Faith
Summary: 5 Stars
Corrie Ten Boom and her family exhibited true Christian love. They did not shrink from their duty to hide the persecuted Jews, nor did they lack courage as they were arrested and placed in concentration camps. Several family members died, with only Corrie surviving due to miraculous intervention. Did she harbor bitterness? Yes. But her faith in the Lord God Jehovah sustained her through this difficult time. She came to the place in her spiritual life where God changed her heart, enabling to forgive her captors. This is truly a story that will warm your heart and point you to a personal Savior, Jesus Christ, who loves and cares for His children. Read how God directs their paths, even when imprisoned, and blesses them mightily despite their circumstances.Book Review: One of the Greatest Narratives Ever Written
Summary: 5 Stars
The Ten Boom story will hopefully be read for eternity, as it constantly reminds us what happens when prejudices overcome common decency. The minority populations of Jews, gypsies, and disabled suffered greatly under the Nazi regime. This is how one family decided to respond to the crisis. They could have closed their door to the Jews, as many others did. In our society today, prejudices remain towards many who are different. As this book tells us, HOW we respond is the ultimate victory over evil.Book Review: They hid people whose only crime was being different
Summary: 5 Stars
It is the story of joy in the midst of inconcievable circumstances. Worth getting in hardback. Forgiveness, prayer, love, sacrifice.
At one point they have lice in their quarters and they're thanking god because the guards don't want to go back there, so they're left alone to have forbidden Bible studies. Anytime you feel like complaning, this is the one to read.
It's like Schindler's list, but not quite as intense.
Book Review: A Light in the Darkness
Summary: 5 Stars
Today's "fluffy" consumer driven Christianity needs a shot of reality. The Hiding Place is a beautiful example of discipleship of Christ at it's best. Corrie ten Boom and her family lived in the Kingdom of God here on earth. This story encourages and inspires. There have been and still are those that take this Christian life seriously. The ten Boom family truly sought to love God and love others.Book Review: Happy with the quality of the book
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
