This book is amazing. Please add Corrie Ten Boom's The Hiding Place to your list of books to read for the summer. It's a true story of woman who was sent to a German concentration camp during World War II for hiding Jews in her home in Holland. It is a beautiful story of God's light shining so bright in even the darkest of times. I finished reading it today and had to fight back tears on the bus ride home from campus. Amidst so much suffering, Corrie and her sister, who was also imprisoned, were so bold in their faith and found joy in the Lord, rather than in their circumstance. They truly lived each day by this verse: "Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances..." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18.
Their hope was not in the war ending, or being free from the prison, but simply in the Word of God; their hiding place.
