Corrie Ten Boom and her family were amazing in their faith of God’s will in very trying times.  The story is difficult to hear, but can also be uplifting.

My Mother talked about this book when I was growing up and told me how about wonderful it was. I wish I had read it sooner. Every Christian should read this book; everyone should read this book. Well written inspirational reminder of God’s grace and plan for us. Not to mention a reminder of man’s inhumanity to his fellow man. Never forget.

Every now and then a book reaches out and grabs your soul - and returns it to you forever changed. This is one of those books. I hope I never take my amazing life for granted, and that I can be His hands and feet.

I was worried that I was burnt out from reading WWII books but this one was so different than the others that I really enjoyed it. A true story written from the perspective of a Holland spinster hiding Jews during the German ocupation of her home country. Definatley a book that everyone should read.

I don't normally re-read books, but this one is worth it every few years.
