The Nazis overran Holland, and Corrie ten Boom chose to risk death by making her quietly respectable home a haven for refugees.
Finally, the Gestapo came. And during months in concentration camps that followed, Corrie ten Boom bore sadistic suffering and torture. She watched her father and her sister die.
Yet, she survived, mind intact, soul still free.
Where did this gentle woman find the courage to resist, to suffer, yet to endure?
This book holds the answer. It reveals a life-sustaining faith that carried an innocent woman through some of the worst agonies man can devise. A PRISONER AND YET... is one of the most tragic, yet finally most inspiring and life-enhancing stories of modern times!
