A Prisoner and Yet by Corrie Ten Boom
This is one book I have read over and over. If you want to learn about the Nazi concentration camp then this is a true story to grip your heart and soul. It changed my life and it can change your life too!
The book opens as the enemy raid on Feb. 28th 1944. As Corrie was sick with the flu the Nazi’s said, Get up at once; you are now my prisoner.” Corrie and her family are arrested and one of the Gestapo men took them to the camp. During the entire ordeal of her torture, she quotes scripter and says Jesus is Victor.
Corrie’s father had died in prison, a martyr’s death.
In the end she survived, mind together and free. This book gives us a glimpse into how saying in faith in Christ will conquer show more evil and make good. It is a tragic story but inspiring because it is true!
