The Hiding Place
by Corrie ten Boom
Review:
A reprint of this much loved book, still a best seller thirty years after it was written. After helping hundreds of Jews to escape from the Nazis, the family were betrayed, and Corrie, her sister and father were arrested. Soon after, her father died. When Corrie and her sister Betsie were moved to Ravensbruck concentration camp they saw this as an opportunity to tell their fellow inmates about God, and show by the way they behaved the way of Christ. Page after page is filled with a mixture of horror and hope. Betsie dies in the camp and Corrie is miraculously freed to return to her home in Haarlem and then to realise the visions described in great detail by Betsie before she died. A very special book. Reprints of the prequel, In My Father’s House and the sequel Tramp for the Lord are coming in March 2005
