The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom
5.0

This is a deep, meaningful, life-changing book that makes you look at everything in a new way and gives you so many life lessons. I know that was a ridiculously long opening sentence, but it's true. I have to say- I love this book so, so much! It will remain one of my favorites for years and years to come. Corrie and Betsie's journey has so much to learn from it. I loved hearing about Corrie's early life, and the truths she knew from such a young age, and the hardships so many of her family overcame. And then their journey with the underground and the concentration camps- wow. Wow. Betsie is so, so brave and faithful, and I will never forget how she endured to the very end.

Overall, these themes of God's faithfulness, His perfect plan and timing, and gratitude, selflessness, and love, even in the hardest of times have such an impact. I highly, highly recommend this book- it is life changing and reminds you that through every war and battle, Jesus is Victor.
