Book Reviews of The Hiding Place
Book Review: A story of unwavering faith in the face of persecution and Nazi tyranny
Summary: 5 Stars
The Hiding Place is the moving true-life account of Corrie ten Boom and her family who sheltered persecuted Jews in Nazi-oocupied Holland during World War Two. They did this at great personal risk, but they did it because of their unwavering faith in God, and because it was the right thing to do.
Unfortunately, they are arrested and deported to the camps for their acts of resistance against the Nazis. It is a testament to their faith and nobility that they retain their belief in God despite all the travails that await them in the camps.
"No pit is so deep that He is not deeper still" - as Corrie ten Boom believes despite all the horrors that she has endured. A testament to the power of belief in God, and to the courage of ordinary people in extraordinary and horrific times.
Book Review: ****** 6 STARS, PLEASE!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book stands so far above the pack that five stars is not a high enough rating.
Of all the books I've ever read, this is the one that has remained in my mind and my heart for many years. Corrie Ten Boom is a real life super-hero. This unforgettable lady survived the horrors of life in a concentration camp and went on to write a book that has reached out and touched hearts and souls around the world. I do not know or care if this book is "well written" because it is what she has to tell you that matters. You will weep as you read this book, you will look at your world with new eyes and you just may find the light of your faith rekindled. If you want a book that touches your very soul and just may change your life, read this one.
Book Review: a book that changes lives
Summary: 5 Stars
Recently at a dinner party, a friend asked what is the one book that has had the most influence in your life. I immediately thought of "The Hiding Place".
Corrie's story is so moving partly because of the events that took place, but more by Corrie's humility. Her mannerism is almost matter of fact as she describes the remarkable things that happened to her and her family. She never once shows any attempt to be anything than other herself as she works to save the lives of others. She takes no recognition on herself but shines it on everyone else, most especially on her saintly sister.
This is simply a great book about an amazing person!
Book Review: This family raises the bar for Christians
Summary: 5 Stars
What an inspiring story. This family was not perfect but they loved Jesus and did everything they could during very difficult times to serve Him by caring for others. I love it when Corrie admitted her internal struggles but worked through them to become obedient to Him again.
They would not have been persecuted yet they could not stand by and watch Hitler persecute and kill the Jews. And for this, they experienced many hardships. And yet because they kept their focus squarely on God.... and not their circumstances.... they experienced "peace which passes all understanding". How I love to see others' faith at work.
Book Review: Inspired
Summary: 5 Stars
This story is a serious faith builder. Reading about the testing and trials of Corrie and her family will, I believe, encourage you to press on through your own life circumstances. It is clear example of the miraculous ways of God and how following Him can lead you into places you never dreamed. God never said this life would be easy and He never demanded that we do everything perfectly; this testimony shows that when we are faithful to follow, He provides the grace we need to overcome every obstacle and His mercy to shine the light of hope and truth wherever He leads! Enjoy and be encouraged!
