Publisher's Summary
At one time, Corrie ten Boom would have laughed at the idea that she had a story to tell. For the first 50 years of her life, nothing out of the ordinary ever happened to her. She was a spinster watchmaker living contentedly with her sister and their elderly father in the tiny house over their shop in Haarlem. Their uneventful days, as regulated as their own watches, revolved around their abiding love for one another.
But with the Nazi invasion and occupation of Holland, everything changed. Corrie ten Boom and her family became leaders in the Dutch underground, hiding Jewish people in their home in a specially built room and aiding their escape from the Nazis. For their pains, all but Corrie found death in a concentration camp.
Here is a story aglow with the glory of God and the courage of a quiet Christian whose life was transformed by it.

great story that will give you faith in humanity
I read alot of books about ww2 and the holocaust and there was so much suffering and misery, this story is a bright light in all the chaos. it's not a book about great battles or daring escape but a book about people's faith and forgiveness and outlook on life.

Incredible ccount of an awful time
In short, I think that this one should be required reading for high school.
It is a passionate, informative and tear jerking account of the second world war for the view of a community in Holland.
Corrie Ten Boom was an amazing woman with incredible strength.
This true account of their history is beautifully written and very well narrated.
As you listen you hear the sounds of the clocks the accents of the characters and feel the love that flows through them all.

Interesting resistance story turns evangelical
The first part of the book is what I expected, gripping tale about how a family got into helping Jews in the Netherlands in World War II. But the second part was quite different and featured the authors religious beliefs

Even better the 2nd time around!
I first read The Hiding Place as a young and impressionable high school student. I remember being & still am in awe of the bravery of this family to help their fellow man. The power of their strong faith in being able to find goodness in the most unimaginable places. Trusting in God to help them see their path & the ability to see & forgive the cruelest people.

Both beautiful and sad
This book was both beautifully written and read about the unfortunate sad and true story of the occupation. You could just connect with the characters in the book, feel their love and pain and at the same time feel the hope that the author is sharing. I am neither a jew nor know someone close enough who has told me stories about this time but I certainly wept for this book. I am very happy to have had the chance to listen to Miss ten Boom's story and wish I could find more similar to this book. Sending all my love to the survivors and people who have felt anything close to this <3

A Must Read
This book and narrator was an excellent addition to my day. I listened eagerly as the story unfolded and I loved how Corrie wrote about her family life and set up the reader to understand her and her intentions and her duties she felt as a person. An incredible story of how God has a plan and his love is truly all we need to sustain us through Hell and back.
