"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

Almost finish reading amd I know I will read again, I cried a little when I think of the love corrie and her family had despite of the situation around them. It teaches me that no matter what is going on in my life I can show love and compassion no matter how others may treat me and when my love is not enough I can love them with the love of God.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful True Story
Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2023

A personal account of a Dutch family of Christians during WWII who opened their hearts and then their home to Jews and Dutch resistance workers in acute danger from the Nazis, The Hiding Place is a powerful true story showing what 'love thy enemy' and 'give unto others' can mean.

I read Corrie ten Boom's book many years ago and then, recently, came across this Blackstone audio version. I haven't read a book like this in a while so I took it up to see how as an adult reader, I would feel about it.

I found it quite easy to settle into new to me narrator, Wanda McCaddon's narration of the story and enjoyed the way she voiced the various generations of the Dutch ten Booms and their neighbors and, as well, the Nazis. I haven't heard the Dutch accent to know, but I think she mostly didn't do a Dutch accent so much and focused on the storyline and voices.

I appreciated the forward from the Sherills and then the follow up comments about Corrie's life after the events of the book. The heart of this story is Corrie sharing about her life from childhood pre-WWI in the Dutch city of Haarlem in the old house where the family watchmaking business was in the shop below and the family lived above and then the other two-thirds of the story in her secret work with the Jews and Resistance and what came after when her family was caught. Oh yes, this is very much a Christian classic and it was the family's full trust in God that led them to do what they did and got them through what came after, but it is more than that. Many fiction and true accounts focus on the Jews or even the Resistance, but this story brings the other facet- the civilian people who when above and beyond to do what was right even if it meant punishment and death. There are several examples of the strict rules and rationing during the Occupation, but the family gave even when they had so very little and did what they could for others who were suffering.

The Hiding Place had me crying so often, but also left me uplifted and thoughtful. Corrie's papa had some wonderful wise truths he gave his children that have universal meaning for us all and Corrie herself was a plain, average woman who did what she had to do even when weak and fearful. It is an inspirational story and will likely always stay with me.

While not overly graphic in the details inside prison and concentration camps, the story does go there so be warned. And, as I said above, this is a Christian classic with strong religious thematics. I would recommend it to those who enjoy WWII era historicals particularly those that deal with the Jewish plight and that of those in occupied areas controlled by the Nazis.

The Hiding Place is an excellent book that tells the story of Corrie Ten Boom's journey of life in a German concentration camp during WWII. This book was hard to put down. It kept my attention to the very end of the story. This book also tugged at my emotions at certain points within the storyline. I am giving this book a five out of five stars. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in reading a powerful story that will leave an impression on them.

A reminder of a time long gone, and possibly forgotten by a new generation of people. This book puts the reader in the middle of historical happenings in Holland prior to WWII and beyond. It is a lesson, and warning, to folks of following generations of how evil begins and goes unchecked, until people, and the power of God intervene.

I loved this book for two reasons. First there were so many spiritual words of wisdom that I wanted to preserve for future reference that I got out my highlighter. Second this is the first book that I have read about the WWII and the German concentration camps written by someone who lived through the inhumane treatment of the prisoners. I have a clearer understanding of this horrific piece of history (which is still happening to targeted people by other leaders for different reasons) and how evil cannot overpower the good in people.

5.0 out of 5 stars What an incredible story of bravery, love and forgiveness...
Reviewed in Canada on January 11, 2022
Verified Purchase
I've read this book many times and each time I feel inspired. This is a story of the Ten Booms love for others and the cost of that love. However, they had no regrets... During the nazi occupation of Holland this family hid and helped many Jews. Corrie records everything they did to help them... it's incredible! They were sent to prison for it and while some didn't survive, Corrie was released after being in two concentration/work camps. Her story starts before the war begins and how Semitic mentality slowly creeps into Harleem...the results of war and the after effects of the war. But above all, it is a story of faith. Tremendous faith and trust in the Almighty! When everything seemed hopeless ( and their situation was dire) they chose hope. It's so inspiring!

Li este livro quando andava no liceu, e nunca mais me esqueci dele! A historia das irmãs, num campo de concentração Nazi, e tudo que passaram - e a fé que as manteve vivas - é um testemunho inesquecível. A frase que nunca mais esqueci - embora já me tinha esquecido do titulo do livro - e que me ajudou a encontrar o livro foi "Graças a Deus pelas pulgas". Parece improvável, mas no meio de tanto mal, tanto sofrimento, tão pouca esperança - A Corrie ainda agradeceu Deus pelas pulgas. Só lendo...a acreditem, vale mesmo a pena ler.
Quando pensamos que não há esperança, há sempre algo pelo qual temos que agradecer. Sempre.
