    Such an honest and inspiring book. Written by a woman sold out to God and His plan.

    This is one of my all time favorite books. I have listened to it 3 times and am about to start again. It’s basically a bunch of short stories of her testimonies of following God in faith and watching him miraculously come through over and over. Her stories never get old and are incredibly encouraging to me.

    Amazing, uplifting and encouraging life story. Loved listening to this. It’s amazing how we can endure adversity when our focus is on the Lord and we are filled with his power.

    This woman OBVIOUSLY knew Jesus. It makes me bold to win those who do not know Jesus as a loving father!

    Wonderful woman of God, she talks about her missionary trips to different parts of the world, her time in concentration camps during Hitlers reign, and her time growing up as a child. Very enjoyable and she also talks about times she had to ask for forgiveness. I listened to the audio book, the person reading had a very nice voice.

    The stories and examples of forgiveness gave such practical tools for how to live it out in my life. Very inspirational!

    This is about Corrie Ten Boom's missionary travels to over 3000 cities in 30 years after her release from Ravensbruck; some behind the Iron Curtain and some in communist Russia. Corrie never raised money, never asked for money for her speaking, teaching, or even for traveling expenses; she relied wholly on God for her needs.

    Corrie shares the struggles of Christian walk honestly - trust, obedience, faith, forgiveness, security in Christ alone. And from such honesty gives us much encouragement to press on!

    Corrie ten Boom spent several months in Ravensbruck during World War II after the Germans discovered that she and her family had been hiding Jews in their home. After the war, she became an evangelist and traveled to many countries around the world. This book recounts some of her experiences in nearly 30 years of worldwide ministry. It’s not what one would expect from a typical memoir since the reminiscences and meditations are not presented in chronological order. However, it would work well for daily devotional reading since each chapter is preceded by a verse or two of Scripture and contains a spiritual lesson.

    I loved the Hiding Place but struggled with this, the sequel. The Hiding Place depicts a humble woman forced into a situation by the Nazis and her determination to look to and rely on God in the midst of her trials.

    In this book, the Sequel, the author finally is released from the German concentration camp and believes that God tells her to go to America to preach the Gospel to the people. This was a dream that she and her sister had discussed whilst in the camp and prior to her sisters' tragic death. On arriving in America she has no money, no contacts and no one interested in hearing her story or allowing her to preach. She is forced to borrow money and rely on some kind-hearted Christians who help her. Eventually she gets the platform she desires and travels around preaching and telling her story to all and sundry. Personally I don't agree with women preaching but this isn't what put me off the book as I do think there is sometimes a case for woman giving personal testimony in a Church.

    The author goes above and beyond this though and is clearly giving doctrinal instruction. I stopped reading the book at the point where she decides a whole church full of people is demon possessed and that God is "telling" her to cast out the demons...there were also alleged miracles in prior chapters that seemed unbelievable.

    I felt that in this second book the author lost the humility that endeared her to so many people in her story in The Hiding Place. This is a shame but I would still recommend the first book.

    What an encouraging woman! To think that in 1970 she came to my town to speak. Would that I were I alive to hear her! This book is a must read for long time and new Christians alike. Corrie never beats people over the head, she gently comes along side to teach the Lord's lessons. A few chapters towards the end really struck home and I felt as though she were talking directly to me. It is also refreshing the way she deals with her own sin, in that she doesn't sugar coat her life to make it seem she is the perfect Christian. She is open and honest and humble, a rarity in today's society. I only wish I would have read this sooner (Sorry I didn't listen to my mother's kind persistence that this is a book I needed to read), but I'm sure it came at the right time. I highly recommend this to everyone.

    I never get tired of reading Corrie's stories. My copy of the book is literally falling apart.

    I was so inspired by the author's life. I have some theological differences, but those were unimportant when I looked at how amazing her example was. Corrie Ten Boom was sent to a prison camp after hiding Jews in her basement during WWII. But rather than be angry, she chose to forgive everyone who had offended her and spent her life sharing the message of God's love. It made my own little grievances and grudges seem so petty. I really admire her for her ability to love. CMB
