The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom
5.0

Just incredible. Corrie and Betsie had an inspiring love for the Word of God. These two Christian sisters and their father sacrificed their lives to defend many Jews, “the apple of God’s eye”, during the Nazi invasion of Holland during WWII. While reading this biography, I felt convicted of my selfishness. They thanked God in all circumstances, even the flea infestation because they prevented the guards from breaking up their Bible studies with the other prisoners in the concentration camp. Betsie continually prayed for the German soldiers who persecuted her, inspired to teach them the Father’s love and forgiveness. There were so many accounts of God using unexpected, ordinary people to help, even with small things like the girl who would slip them a piece a newspaper to help insulate their clothing. Such a beautiful story of faith and God’s mercy. This definitely a book to reread.
