“Today I know that such memories are the key not to the past, but to the future. I know that the experiences of our lives, when we let God use them, become the mysterious and perfect preparation for the work He will give us to do. ”

I've read and re-read this book so many times. It's very beautiful and well written. As a Christian, I know that would obey God's law above the law of the land if they conflicted. Brings the realities of this to life.
Wow. Corrie Ten Boom was an amazing person and her book was incredibly inspiring and challenging. Read it!
This book is a beautiful depiction of faith and hope. Corrie and her family manage to find positivity and optimism through the darkest of events. They find love and compassionate for their enemies. They always find reasons for gratitude and prayer. This book is life-changing. I want to be like Corrie ten Boom.
I have never heard about Corrie Ten Boom, and I'm sure I don't know many courageous people that have done something for people in need. This book is about WW2 and the horrific things that happen back then. Corrie with her family hid and helped many Jews and later on different kinds of people in need. They were very religious people and throughout the book there are lots of referencing Bible, but not in overwhelming way. I loved the saying "love your enemy" and I liked how Corrie was struggling to forgive the Germans and what they were doing. Forgiveness is the core message of this book. And I used to think that people who have done wrong, should not be forgiven, but as it was written, they need the most.
The book itself was very interesting, very well written, and I'm glad that I came across this book.
Definitely recommending.

This is a well known Christian classic, so I don’t think I need to give a synopsis of it. But wow. What a moving tribute to family, and an incredible testimony of the grace of God! I loved Corrie’s honesty. She wasn’t some perfect saint who took all of the Nazi abuse and all of her trials with a smile and a “Praise God.” But she was so teachable! Her sister Betsy was especially tenderhearted toward God and was so strong in her faith that she even felt a seemingly natural compassion for her persecutors. Corrie admitted that she could not feel that way... but she was willing for God to rip open her heart and remake it so that she could. I will definitely revisit this book. The way Corrie let’s you see so clearly how God worked through her story I. Absolutely inspiring and faith-affirming. I finished this book in awe and rejoicing at the power of my Savior in the darkest, most horrible of trials.
