5.0

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.
