Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom, John Sherrill (With), Elizabeth Sherrill (With), Nadia May (Read by)

A great read to discuss perseverance and conviction

This book was slow at first. I think it had to share some background information to help the reader understand the family and its circumstances. This book has several thought provoking passages that explained life situations that I particularly enjoyed. The comparison of death and a train ride, the idea that some knowledge is to heavy for children to carry, and the analogy of the fleas and being grateful in all circumstances. This book will give you hope, and reason to realize that maybe your life isn't so tough after all. A little kindness and compassion can go a long way even in the coldest of hearts.

one of the best

All I can say is that this book changed my faith.It was amazing.You would be depriving yourself if you don't read it.

one of those that makes you sad but happy

The Story of Corrie and her sister truly is a confession to the Christian faith. Despite the fact that it sways toward a christian standpoint the book has great moral lessons and...food for thought. Its compassionate sad and happy. A satisfying domination of good over evil.

The Hiding Place

Im a 13 year old girl and at first I found this book to be in all truthfulness, really boring, but as I read on I began to understand it more and relate to it. I saw how her and her sister got along and realized it was similar to me and my sisters relationship. Her father read from the Bible everyday to the family, and thats what my dad used to do, and try's as much as he can now. I really admire Corrie ten Boom for her great loyalty toward God. Even when she got discourged, like when she was in those disgusting concentration camps, she knew God was there, and I someday hope to have as much faith as she did.She was also very courageous, she wasn't afraid to hide the Jewish in her home, and she did what she thought was right, and Im not sure I could have ever done that, she had a lot of guts. I would highly recommend this book for someone my age.
