What an incredible resource! I have read many devotionals in my time, but God is My Hiding Place stands out from the rest. The devotional parts themselves are not too long, and have such depth that you can’t help but stop and ponder what you’re reading, they are that thought-evoking and deep.

Each day starts with a Bible verse, and ends with a prayer, which are great assets, but what really captured my heart was the devotionals themselves, the bulk of which comes from Corrie’s own words. As I was reading I was thinking about Corrie and everything she endured. Life isn’t easy for any of us, especially right now, but it could be worse, and if Corrie could hold onto and strengthen her faith during a tumultuous time, then that gives me hope in my own struggles.

Despite loving this book I do believe it shouldn’t have been made into a devotional, but instead it would’ve been better as a collection of Corrie’s most moving words and stories. Though there are Bible verses for each day there were days that the verses and the devotional portions felt detached. I believe if there is a daily verse to focus on that there should be a deeper look into that verse, then there could be a shared story to show application of said verse. With God is My Hiding Place I didn’t always feel this.

In saying that I would still highly recommend this text. It was incredibly touching, thought-provoking, and really helped me see my current strife in a new light, drawing strength from Corrie’s words. The suffering she endured is incomprehensible, yet she survived by the grace of God, and if she can be used despite her circumstances then so can I.

Aren’t you thankful for giants of faith we can gain wisdom and insight from? People whose lives encapsulate(d) living fully sold out for God. Sometimes in face of tremendous persecution. People who challenge us to live a bigger, bolder faith?

God is My Hiding Place is a 40-day devotional comprised of a collection of writings by Corrie ten Boom that inspires readers to be bold in their faith. To love other like Jesus loves us. To testify of God’s graciousness even in the most difficult of circumstances.

The entries are short but powerful—it makes an excellent addition to your daily scripture reading—each one ends with a prayer to help us live a life of courage and strength and to find our hiding place in the One who knows our names—and our hearts.
