A quick read, and good writing style.
Edited for Touchstones
I loved The Hiding Place . I also read it this year. So good! I was so inspired. What a great example of forgiveness. I had heard parts of it before, but knowing the whole story makes it so much more meaningful. I think it's a message the world can still use, whether Christian or not.
... generate much discussion at our book club. That's probably just as well since we went way over time with our discussion of The Hiding Place .
I have read several about the Holocaust this year. So far I've read The Hiding Place , Man's Search for Meaning, and The Long Walk, which is more about WWII in general, and not really about Jewish themes. I also read Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman. Although Feynman wasn't a practicing Jew, ...
The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom is about two spinster sisters and their father who are hidding Jews in their house. They are caught and sent to a concentration camp. I read it many years ago. It was also made into a movie.
Just catching up on your reading and #147 The Long Walk sounds really interesting as does The Hiding Place . They've both gone on my tbr list. LOL at your comments on How to be a Domestic Goddess - I've made few of the recipes.
I'm rereading The Hiding Place now. My nephew is visiting for a month this summer and I'll pick him up in Amsterdam. I've asked him to read this book by the time he lands (he's a voracious reader), and the plan is to take him to Haarlem to see the Ten Boom house.
Review for The Hiding Place
Most people know a little about this story. Corrie Ten Boom and her family lived in Haarlem, and were all devout Christians and Dutch patriots. When World War II came, they found themselves moved to act after witnessing such brutality and suffering around ...
#70: The Hiding Place is, to my mind, a Christian classic that deserves to be better known.
30. The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom.
I finally read a book that was on my 999 list. I've read 14 this year that weren't on my list and I have 3 more sitting on my desk. But I did fit this one in. I can't believe I took this long to read it, I should have read it years ago and I am sure I ...
33. The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom - 253 pp
I am so glad I finally read this book. It is for our book club so I'll get to discuss it with some friends in a few weeks. The book is just like her life, God is just a part of it, not something extra or added on.
33. The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom - 253 pp
This was wonderful. I cried a few times - how intense and how inspiring. I can't believe I waited this long to read it.
It's non-fiction, but Corrie Ten Boom's The Hiding Place reads much like a novel.
>suslyn - The Hiding Place is on my 999 list. I will have to look into the other two you mention. Another I recommend is The Small Woman by Alan Burgess about Gladys Aylward. Fascinating story.

I just think if you compare Diary of Anne Frank to The Hiding Place , that the latter is a much better book about WWII in Holland. Anne Frank rambles on and goes nowhere.
