    The Hiding Place - Movie - Corrie Ten Boom



    The Hiding Place - Movie




    Book & DVD recommendation 
    The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom With John and Elizabeth Sherrill

    (The first page inside the book)

    "Would you be willing
    to take the Jewish Mother
    And her baby into your home?"

    Color drained from the man's face. He took a step back from me. "Miss ten Boom!  I do hope you're not involved with any of this illegal concealment...it's just not safe! Think of your father!"

    I pulled the coverlet back from the baby's face. The men bent forward, his hand inspite of himself reaching for the tiny fist curled around the blanket. For a moment I saw compassion and fear struggle
    in his face. Then he straightened. "No.Definitely not. We could lose our lives for that Jewish child!"

    Unseen by either of us, Father had appeared in the doorway. "  Give the child to me, Corrie," he said.

    Father held the baby close, His white beard brushing its cheek, looking into the little face with eyes as blue and innocent as the baby's..."You say we could lose our lives for this child. I would consider that the greatest honor that could come to my family."

    (The end of the first page inside the book)

    (Information on the back cover)

    "The true horror of occupation came over us only slowly. During the first year of German rule there were only minor attacks on Jews in Holland. A rock through the window of the Jewish-owned store. An ugly word scrawled on the wall of a synagogue. It was as though they were trying us, testing the temper of the country. How many Dutchmen would go along with them? ... Adventure and anguish, or horror and heaven, were just around the corner, and we did not know."

    (The end of the information on the back cover)

    The interviews  I have seen with Corrie ten Boom she said,
    The best is yet to come.

    Tramp for the Lord

    Book recommendation
    Tramp for the Lord by Corrie Ten Boom with Jamie Buckingham 

    (Information from the first page of Tramp for the Lord)

    This remarkable woman spent the first 50
    years of her life living peacefully with her 
    father and sister above their watch shop in 
    Haarlem, Holland.

    When World War II broke out, this devoutly 
    Christian family began providing "hiding 
    places" for persecuted Jews.

    Her great faith sustained her, then, through 
    the several months in Nazi concentration 
    camps, and the death of her father and sister.

    Since her release she has been traveling all
    over the world,captivating audiences with her
    inspiring story.

    This self-styled "tramp for the Lord" told of
    that life in the bestselling THE HIDING 
    PLACE. Here as moving and dramatic, as
    filled with love and miracles, is the sequel to
    that story.

    (Information from the back cover)

    The Story that Begins Where 
    The Hiding Place Ended....

    This is Corrie ten Boom's story: beginning
    where her profoundly moving bestseller
    ended, taking us on a uniquely thrilling tour 
    to the nearest and farthest corners of the
    earth. She is a modest and simple woman 
    who has seen and known a world few others 
    would imagine; a survivor of Hitler's worst 
    Concentration camps and one of the most 
    remarkable evangelists of our time.

    Miracles do happen; Corrie ten Boom's life
    is living proof. From her near-destitute days
    in postwar New York to heart-stopping 
    adventures in Africa, let her be your 
    once-in-a-lifetime guide on a worldwide trip
    that could only have been planned by God.
