Synopsis

At one time, Corrie ten Boom would have laughed at the idea that she had a story to tell. For the first fifty years of her life, nothing out of the ordinary ever happened to her. She was an old-maid watchmaker living contentedly with her sister and their elderly father in the tiny Dutch house over their shop. Their uneventful days, as regulated as their own watches, revolved around their abiding love for one another.But with the Nazi invasion and occupation of Holland, everything changed. Corrie ten Boom and her family became leaders in the Dutch underground, hiding Jewish people in their home in a specially built room and aiding their escape from the Nazis. For their pains, all but Corrie found death in a concentration camp.Here is a story aglow with the glory of God and the courage of a quiet Christian spinster whose life was transformed by it.

About Corrie ten Boom

Cornelia “Corrie” ten Boom (1892–1983) was a Dutch Christian Holocaust survivor who helped many Jews escape the Nazis during World War II. Her autobiography, The Hiding Place, was made into a movie of the same name. In 1967 Ten Boom was honored as one of the “Righteous among the Nations” by the State of Israel. In the years after the closing chapter of The Hiding Place, she traveled ceaselessly, carrying her message of triumphant living all over the world, especially behind the Iron Curtain. The author of devotional books treasured by millions, she was also a colorful, amusing speaker.

Goodreads review by Werner on May 25, 2008

When I was adding every book I could remember ever reading to my Goodreads shelves, I automatically slapped three-star ratings on all the nonfiction books (unless I'd disliked them, or they were specially influential for me) without thinking much about it; I'm more apt to reserve four or five star r......more

Goodreads review by Natalie on February 07, 2018

Most people have started 2018 with parties and fireworks. I've started it by finishing a five star book! I've read The Hiding Place a few times before but not in recent years.

4,5 Sterne, aufgerundet auf 5 Dieses Buch ist eines der Bücher, die man nach dem Lesen (und auch während des Lesens) erst mal verarbeiten muss.

If you haven’t read this book recently or ever, pick it up right now and read it. I know of no other book that demonstrates this well the depths of God’s love a grace to sinners nor his provision and kindness to use us for his kingdom. Also you’re going to need some tissue.......more

Goodreads review by Noel on March 25, 2017

Two stars. That's the best I can do on a book that came highly recommended and that I read with relish as I had just been to Amsterdam and surrounding areas, visited the Museum of the Resistance and the old Jewish Synagogue referred to in the book. So why two stars? I just didn't believe a lot of wh......more

Quotes

“Narrator Nadia May provides an authentic and engaging vocal presentation of this fine work.” Library Journal

“Nadia May does great credit to the writers of this true story...Her emotional control makes the tension and horror of the family’s plight more real and hideous...The listener is left with a story of extraordinary humanity, goodness and overwhelming love.” AudioFile
