Product Description

world over for her courage, her forgiveness, and her memorable faith.
In World War II, she and her family risked their lives to help Jews
escape the Nazis, and their reward was a trip to Hitler's concentration
camps. But she survived and was released--as a result of a clerical
error--and now shares the story of how faith triumphs over evil. For

virtues, has prepared readers to face their own futures with faith,
relying on God's love to overcome, heal, and restore. Now releasing in

Hiding Place tells the riveting story of how a middle-aged Dutch
watchmaker became a heroine of the Resistance, a survivor of Hitler's
death camps, and one of the most remarkable evangelists of the
twentieth century.
From the Back Cover
"Every experience God
gives us . . . is the perfect preparation for the future only He can
see."--Corrie ten Boom Corrie ten Boom was a Dutch watchmaker who
became a heroine of the Resistance, a survivor of Hitler's
concentration camps, and one of the most remarkable evangelists of the
twentieth century. In World War II she and her family risked their
lives to help Jews and underground workers escape from the Nazis, and
for their work they were tested in the infamous Nazi death camps. Only
Corrie among her family survived to tell the story of how faith
ultimately triumphs over evil. Here is the riveting account of how
Corrie and her family were able to save many of God's chosen people.
For 35 years millions have seen that there is no pit so deep that God's
love is not deeper still. Now The Hiding Place, repackaged for a new
generation of readers, continues to declare that God's love will
overcome, heal, and restore. "A groundbreaking book that shines a clear
light on one of the darkest moments of history."--Philip Yancey,
author, The Jesus I Never Knew "Ten Boom's classic is even more
relevant to the present hour than at the time of its writing. We . . .
need to be inspired afresh by the courage manifested by her
family."--Jack W. Hayford, president, International Foursquare Church;
chancellor, The King's College and Seminary "The Hiding Place is a
classic that begs revisiting. Corrie ten Boom lived the deeper life
with God. Her gripping story of love in action will challenge and
inspire you!"--Joyce Meyer, best-selling author and Bible teacher
