The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom

4.0

---

An inspiring book about a family that sacrificed much in the service of others. As reviewers have complained, the final portion is extremely evangelical. To religious skeptics, it probably feels like the novel Pollyanna, where Polly is always looking on the bright side and playing the “glad game.” The genuine horrors of concentration camps are glossed over in favor of praise to the company and guidance of Jesus. Nonetheless, I found the book to be an interesting memoir. I listen to the audio recording, and the reader was delightful.
