      I’ve read this book years ago and loved it and it means even more to me now that I am older. What a testament of live and service to others.

      Excellent book!! No matter our struggles, God will never leave our side!!
    • 5/5
      This was honest and always pointed to the One who deserves all the glory and honour for carrying us through this life! Be it mountains, or horrible valleys, He is faithful to sustain us and give us His hope. Amen.
    • 5/5
      Powerful testimony of trusting God in all circumstances and giving thanks in those circumstances. The most powerful part of the book for me was when Bessie insisted they thank God for the fleas and lice in their beds. Reluctantly, Corrie agreed and chapters later you find that the women were able to share the gospel of Christ without the guards interfering because the guards wouldn’t come into the room for fear they would get fleas or lice. What are the fleas and lice in my life that I’m not giving thanks to God for?
    • 5/5
      good book, good reader, good writer, good words, good strory
    • 3/5
      It was interesting hearing about the horrors that were inflicted upon those that were not Jewish during World War II. Because I have conflicting feelings about why such a wonderful God can give us so many rewards would also allow these kinds of horrors to happen. And there was quite a bit of religion and faith and prayers to this wonderful God. It is amazing how the will to live can overpower the evils that surrounded these people.
    • 5/5
      She was a brave and noble woman, and risked a ton and sacrificed more than you can imagine and had so much pain physically and mentally and did what most of us Can’t do.

      How glorious is God! What an outstanding testimony. Incredible book!

    • 5/5
      What a remarkable book. A story that leaves a life long impression. Corrie and her family’s trust in the Lord and love for people is truly heart changing. I am convicted to love deeply and encouraged know that it is not from my own strength but from Christ working in me.

      This book will always leave a presence in my heart
    • 5/5
      Like many my age (mid 50s) I first encountered Corrie Ten Boom’s story in the film adaptation starring Jeanette Clift George. I watched the film again recently and experienced it differently than I did then. At the time I first saw it in the mid 70s, it had a strong impact on me. Seeing the film recently, so many years later, with much more knowledge of the broader context of the war and occupation, and at a time when many television series have production values exceeding the blockbusters of that earlier time, the film seemed almost quaint.

      The book however was gripping and deeply satisfying. It is an honest and often gripping account that pulls the reader in. Many of the elements missing from the film that are included in this book prove to be very important, illustrating the moral and spiritual struggle Corrie faces amidst the sea of hatred and cruelty she swims in. For instance, in one scene, a woman with a gangrenous leg pulls off her wet bandage and throws it onto Corrie’s head. This incident occurs in the wake of great loss pushing Corrie to the boundary of credulity regarding her faith.

      This book is well worth your time.
    • 5/5
      It gave me a deeper view of God. I Thankyou. I am going to reread it
    • 5/5
      What an amazing book! What faith these people had. Thankful for the words to encourage me to be bold in faith and in everything to give thanks!
    • 5/5
      A riveting account of a Dutch Christian woman’s nearly impossible life’s journey under Hitler’s Nazi regime. Themes of the nearness and providence of God, the boldness He gives his children and forgiveness through Jesus, whose love sustains and strengthens us at every turn.
    • 5/5
      This is one of the best books ever written. It is amazing what Corrie overcomes in her feelings using the power of forgiveness and Faith. I can't imagine going through a concentration camp, let alone doing it with the grace of these two sisters. I can't imagine being faced with a decision of helping people who are being hunted, and by helping them you too would become hunted. It is a well written book. I felt I knew the homes and the people like my own family. Very well done!
    • 5/5
      What a Light in this world of darkness! Thank you, Corrie ten Boom, for sharing God’s love... regardless!
    • 5/5
      One of the most encouraging, and fulfilling books I've ever read.
    • 5/5
      A wonderful book holding an incredible story of compassion and kindness. It takes a little while to really get into the 'meat' of it but God's providence is unmistakable and breathtaking!
    • 5/5
      The loving characters and the trust they had in God was so encouraging. I really liked this book
    • 5/5
      No words are adequate to describe her story, everything she went through. Her story is such tangible that I had even to ask for forgiveness when I developed, while reading the book, feelings of hate against the country I was born in. I have visited as a child one of the concentration camps, I have watched movies and received education, but nothing penetrated my mind in such a way as the book did. Tremendous work, tremendous courage to write those things down.
    • 5/5
      A book that will stay with me forever. Awe inspiring.
    • 5/5
      WOW! What a remarkable story that shows how Jesus loves us and is with us all the time, even in the most darkest of hours. A must read for everyone!
    • 5/5
      Inspiring! This book is one of my favorite of all time. Every time I read it I find another gem another principle of goodness. Thank you Corrie, and all of those who have been such an example of love and caring.
    • 5/5
      Such an inspiring story of Jesus' grace and mercy acted out.
    • 5/5
      What an incredible story. I can’t even imagine loving your enemies like they did. What deep maturity they possessed.
    • 5/5
      What a reminder of the love of God during these unsure days of coronavirus! I highly recommend this book! God is so wise... even when we don't understand his ways.
    • 5/5
      My favorite book of all time! Read it many times but really enjoyed listening to it this round.
    • 5/5
      Great book I'm so glad I finally read it. There are amazing nuggets of wisdom that just made everything worth it. Those nuggets continually come back to me, reminding my that hard things can happen and there is both a purpose and extra strength that comes. Corrie helps us remember she is human, not a saint but we all can aim for better than where we are
    • 5/5
      The best book I’ve ever read! Thank you Jesus! I highly recommend it! Very encouraging and uplifting! Changes your self pity to a new awakening of God’s grace and forgiveness
