The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom

5.0

---

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.
