The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom
4.0
emotional hopeful inspiring sad fast-paced

This book really had me in the first half and lost me in the last bit. Not because the story wasn’t any less extraordinary, but because it felt like the descriptions or the… feeling of the circumstances wasn’t as well described. I also wanted to know how she got her start speaking to people. Who did she contact? What did she begin saying? It felt like everything was kind of skimmed over in the end when I wanted more details. 

All in all, quite the inspiring read about what it truly means to be Christlike and love your enemies (oof!). There were some real moments that caused me to look inward at my own faith and how I live it. God really can make beauty from tragedy.
