The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom
4.0

Very inspirational. I would have given it a 5-star rating if it had been written by Corrie herself, but at times it's just too obvious that this wasn't written by a Dutch person. The bombing of Rotterdam is never mentioned in the events leading to the capitulation... And they do make a point of explicitly mentioning how Corrie is getting everywhere by bike.
On the other hand, the very 'American' way of storytelling does shed new light on the for my familiar story. It was a very enjoyable read and I'd recommend it to everyone who is looking for an uplifting yet very serious book.
