About this ebook
"Every experience God gives us . . . is the perfect preparation for the future only He can see."--Corrie ten Boom
Corrie ten Boom was a Dutch watchmaker who became a heroine of the Resistance, a survivor of Hitler's concentration camps, and one of the most remarkable evangelists of the twentieth century. In World War II she and her family risked their lives to help Jews and underground workers escape from the Nazis, and for their work they were tested in the infamous Nazi death camps. Only Corrie among her family survived to tell the story of how faith ultimately triumphs over evil.
Here is the riveting account of how Corrie and her family were able to save many of God's chosen people. For 35 years millions have seen that there is no pit so deep that God's love is not deeper still. Now The Hiding Place, repackaged for a new generation of readers, continues to declare that God's love will overcome, heal, and restore.
"A groundbreaking book that shines a clear light on one of the darkest moments of history."--Philip Yancey, author, The Jesus I Never Knew
"Ten Boom's classic is even more relevant to the present hour than at the time of its writing. We . . . need to be inspired afresh by the courage manifested by her family."--Jack W. Hayford, president, International Foursquare Church; chancellor, The King's College and Seminary
"The Hiding Place is a classic that begs revisiting. Corrie ten Boom lived the deeper life with God. Her gripping story of love in action will challenge and inspire you!"--Joyce Meyer, best-selling author and Bible teacher

3 stars; I had never heard of Corrie Ten Boom before reading this book. I was curious to read her story because of the Dutch perspective on The Holocaust. I was not disappointed as the storyline was intensely riveting. However, a bit too much religiont basically got in my way a bit as I am not religious. Her beliefs were woven into her familial fabric and gave her the courage to go on despite the evil happening around her. I might recommend the book.

The Hiding Place is an amazing story of the courage and faith of a Dutch family during World War II. This is a true story and I have had the priviledge of hearing Corrie Ten Boom speak of her trials, tears, faith as she worked to save the lives of hundreds of Jews during the Holocost. Our children today would benefit from hearing and understanding the story behind this woman's heroic deeds. I highly recommend this book to all youngadults and adults.
