Corrie ten Boom relates her post-World War II experiences traveling the globe with her message of hope.

gnbclibrary | Sep 15, 2007 |

I was so inspired by the author's life. I have some theological differences, but those were unimportant when I looked at how amazing her example was. Corrie Ten Boom was sent to a prison camp after hiding Jews in her basement during WWII. But rather than be angry, she chose to forgive everyone who had offended her and spent her life sharing the message of God's love. It made my own little grievances and grudges seem so petty. I really admire her for her ability to love.

▾Book descriptions

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0515089931, Paperback)

In 1940, Corrie ten Boom was living with her father and sister above their watch shop in Haarlem, Holland-and when their country was invaded, this devoutly Christian family provided sanctuary for persecuted Jews. Before long, the Nazis captured Corrie and her family. They were sent to a concentration camp, where Corrie lost both her sister and father. But remarkably, throughout this turbulent time, Corrie sustained the faith in God that helped her become one of the most beloved evangelists of her time.

Tramp for the Lord continues Corrie ten Boom's extraordinary journey of hope following the events recounted in her bestseller The Hiding Place. From her near-destitute days in postwar New York to heart-stopping adventures in Africa, Corrie's inspirational life story proves that miracles do happen.
