this was a recommendation from a friend after she discovered how much the holocaust intrigues me. I have read dozens of memoirs from survivors of the holocaust, but never one from a woman who helped Jews escape the horror of camps and ghettos. amazing read, and puts a new perspective on WWII. there were good people out there-and some survived to tell about it. this story will bring you through each emotion, have kleenex at your disposal: for the tears of sadness and laughter!

I don't usually like non-fiction, or religious books. In fact, I had to read this as part of a class. But I found myself going through it faster than expected, and in my spare time... regardless of your beliefs, it paints a very powerful portrait of love, loss, and most of all, faith during the Halocaust. Bringing out the best and worst in man... a real tearjerker.

Very moving! An incredible story of the power of faith and good over evil. Everyone should read this book. It is a message of peace and healing.

This book feeds the soul. There are just some books that force you to feel human and ask you to love others. I first read this book more than 10 years ago. I have since read it at least 10 times. I read it when I feel sad. It does not make me feel worse but better to know that there were and are such people in the world as the ten Booms. This book and this story is a classic and really moves into any time period to showcase the best of the human race.

This book is one of those that you cannot put down til finished. Kept my interest! Talks about the men and women that were taken into concentration camps. It is not all gloom and doom. The strength and courage of Corrie Ten Boom and her sister is amazing!!! God is with them through it all. One of the phrases taken from the Bible " Be thankful for all things " . The trials they endure are amazing.

One of the most awesome stories of trial and faith I have ever read, what an inspiration!

A very moving account of a Christian woman and her family's journey to help jews during the Holocaust. Rough at times, but very powerful!

This is a great book about Corrie Ten Boom's experiences during WWII. She helped many Jews until she, along with her sister, was caught and sent to a concentration camp. We can learn much from her example of faith and courage even in the most dire of circumstances! A must read for everyone.

A wonderful book about Corrie Ten Boom who was sent to concentration camps because she helped the Jews. Christ's spirit and words were her guide.

This is a WONDERFUL book about Ten Boom's experiences during WWII in a concentration camp. I read it over and over, but found I had two copies. Great personal growth book.

One of the best books I've ever read. Corrie shows us all how God works mightily, even when circumstances are at their worst. I recommend this book to anyone!

I had this on my shelf for about a month before reading it. It sounded interesting, but I was afraid it would be heavy or hard to read.
It wasn't. I read this easily in 24 hours. It was very easy to read & not as heavy as I feared.
The main theme of this book is to show love to others even if it puts your own life and safety on the line & Jesus will take care of you in return. It's a very simply written & simple to understand book with a beautiful message.
I will remember the message of this book long after I remember the plot and heroic characters.

Excellent book, I have read several times. It gives a tragic but inspiring look at what things were like for many during the World War II holocaust. Corrie Ten Boom has a wonderful way of speaking in her book and keeps one captivated throughout!

This is a life enriching book. Everyone should read this.

Like new condition.
