Description
'The narrative is compelling and deeply moving, blending the suspense of a wartime espionage thriller with the profound depth of spiritual discourse. Corrie's account of her and her family's efforts to hide Jews, their subsequent arrest by the Gestapo, and the harrowing experiences in concentration camps, including Ravensbrueck, are recounted with honesty and emotional depth. The story is not just about the darkness of humanity during war but also about hope, forgiveness, and the indomitable strength of faith.' Reader review ? ? ? ? ?
As the Nazis sweep across Europe, a quiet watchmaker's family in Holland risk everything for the sake of others, and for the love of Christ. Despite the danger and threat of discovery, the ten Boom family courageously offer shelter to persecuted Jews during the Nazi occupation of Holland.
When a trap brings about the family's arrest, they are tested to the limit. Can God's love shine through, even after the horrors of Ravensbrueck?
Join the millions who have been inspired by Corrie and her family, who were able to save many of God's chosen people, and find courage in the capacity of God's love to overcome, heal, and restore.
