About this audiobook
Corrie Ten Boom
Corrie ten Boom was raised in Haarlem, Holland. The family home, "the Beje," was a narrow, three-story stucco and brick watchshop, and it became a refuge for many. When she was in her early fifties, she became a key figure in the Dutch Underground Christian Resistance movement during World War II. The account of her experience during this time period can be found in her bestselling book The Hiding Place.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is so encouraging. Until recently, I really only knew the story of The Hiding Place. I am so enjoying reading of Corrie’s wisdom and faith in her later years.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Absolutely wonderful! This book is a super blessing! Can't read it enough.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Powerful testimony of the love of God , my second time listening. The true healing power of God's unfailing love, transformed not only Corrie Ten Boom, but delivered countless other lost souls unto God. Brought about through her graceful and wise approaches to the gospel message, by the Power of the Holy Ghost. Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit saith the Lord of hosts.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Absolutely amazing book. How intimate she describes walking with Jesus and hearing from the Holy Spirit. This book stirred conviction and stirred a longing to do the will of God. Extremely well done and no doubt, spirit lead.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Corrie ten Boom was an amazing woman of courage who survived concentration camps during World War I, saw her beloved sister die, and then spent her later years bringing the good news of Jesus to people all around the world, including some of her former captors.
This book is a series of anecdotes which Corrie ten Boom described after talks she had given, or people she had met, when the discussion turned to the love of God. Unfortunately, although the stories are positive, and the experiences must have been powerful at the time, the writing is stilted and there's not enough detail to make them particularly interesting. Perhaps they lost something in the translation.
In addition, there seems to be no particular organisation to the book. Each section is just two or three pages, and mostly they're unconnected. If they are chronological, it is not obvious.
It was encouraging to read over a few days; it's not a long book (just over 100 pages in all) but I would not particularly recommend it, other than to people eager to read more about the author.
