Book Reviews of The Hiding Place
Book Review: Impacting, humbling
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the type of book that you almost hate to read more than a page or two at a time, because it's so thick with wisdom and meaning.
I'm in the middle of it and I dread the day I finish it. It's truly the sweetest testimony I've ever read, because of the simplicity of the faith of the book's
heroes.
When you're done reading this, you'll be changed, humbled, appreciative, aware of what really matters. More importantly, you'll see Jesus in a more beautiful way, if that were possible!
This should be one of the first book any new Christian reads.
Book Review: She Ministered to my Wounded Spirit
Summary: 5 Stars
Corrie was a prisoner in one of Hitler's concentration camps. As an abused wife, I found myself identifying very closely with the prisoner, Corrie, as she ministered to my wounded spirit through her wonderful book, The Hiding Place. I realized as I was reading it, that I too lived in a concentration camp. I have found that all of Corrie's books transcend time and place in their ability to touch hearts even today.

Book Review: A Great Lesson on Forgiveness and Love
Summary: 5 Stars
As a young adult, this book had an impact on my life second only to the Bible. As a teacher, I wanted to give the same opportunity to several young people of whom I an exceptionally fond. With that in mind, I recently purchased five copies to give to high school graduating seniors. The selfless love and forgiving spirits in the face of intense pain and suffering of the ten Boom family can be an inspiration and guide to all who read this gripping true story. Amyone who doubts what happened during the Holocaust should read this book.Book Review: my grandmother's favorite book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was my grandmother's favorite. I remember reading it as a kid, and not understanding alot of it - I certainly didn't understand the Holocaust, or what it meant to love others unconditionally. It took me a while to remember who wrote this book, and it find it at the library, but it was worth it.
This is a very quick read, as far as number of pages go, but I found myself having to read it in small bits, in order to take it in.
For a totally different look at living through the Holocaust, read this.
Book Review: Inspiring and highly recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
Because it is a well written, first-hand account of what Jews and non-Jews went through in the Nazi prisons and concentration camps of WWII, it has great historical value, thus every middle or high school should make this required reading for their students. It gives insight into the evil that humans are capable of doing and what faith can do to help one overcome this evil. You find yourself wondering if you could survive the experiences that they suffered through. I look forward to the other books by Corrie ten Boom.
