THE HIDING PLACE


This is my all time favorite book. I have read it a few times and each time it inspires me. I will still read it again I'm sure. Corrie Ten Boom and her sister Elizabeth were women of strength who loved the Lord.
An old watchmaker in Holland. His two daughters, Corrie and Betsie. Simple, ordinary people. Yet these three unlikely heroes became the center of a major underground operation: To hide Jewish refugees from the occupying Germans. These kindly, law abiding people broke every rule in the book to save the lives of the men, women and children being hunted by the Nazis. Their home became a hiding place, but the cost of their bravery was betrayal and in the dreaded Ravensbruck concentration camp, they had to create another hiding place for those around them.
