Book Reviews of The Hiding Place
Book Review: Impacting, humbling
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the type of book that you almost hate to read more than a page or two at a time, because it's so thick with wisdom and meaning.
I'm in the middle of it and I dread the day I finish it. It's truly the sweetest testimony I've ever read, because of the simplicity of the faith of the book's
heroes.
When you're done reading this, you'll be changed, humbled, appreciative, aware of what really matters. More importantly, you'll see Jesus in a more beautiful way, if that were possible!
This should be one of the first book any new Christian reads.
Book Review: A Lesson in Christ's Unbounded Forgiveness
Summary: 5 Stars
This classic work touches on so many feelings and thoughts. For me, the most interesting part was the one where she came across the SS man who had been at Ravensbruck (p. 238). Hatred and revenge came to Corrie's heart. She could not bring herself to shake his hand. She realized that she could not forgive him in her own power, and so she prayerfully asked for the Lord's forgiveness to flow through her. At once, her hatred melted away and was replaced by overwhelming love. She realized that the Lord, who commands us to love our enemies, also gives us the means to do this.
Book Review: She Ministered to my Wounded Spirit
Summary: 5 Stars
Corrie was a prisoner in one of Hitler's concentration camps. As an abused wife, I found myself identifying very closely with the prisoner, Corrie, as she ministered to my wounded spirit through her wonderful book, The Hiding Place. I realized as I was reading it, that I too lived in a concentration camp. I have found that all of Corrie's books transcend time and place in their ability to touch hearts even today.
Woman Submit! Christians & Domestic Violence
Book Review: A Great Lesson on Forgiveness and Love
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Book Review: my grandmother's favorite book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was my grandmother's favorite. I remember reading it as a kid, and not understanding alot of it - I certainly didn't understand the Holocaust, or what it meant to love others unconditionally. It took me a while to remember who wrote this book, and it find it at the library, but it was worth it.
This is a very quick read, as far as number of pages go, but I found myself having to read it in small bits, in order to take it in.
For a totally different look at living through the Holocaust, read this.
