The Hiding Place (Hendrickson Classic Biography Series)

Out of the evil called the Holocaust arose a witness, a voice that  
even the Nazis could not silence, a voice that testified to the  
power of God to overcome every wickedness and sorrow.  
Corrie ten Boom is that witness and her powerful story recounts  
the courage of one Christian family of Dutch watchmakers who  
determined to save Jews and resistance workers from the Gestapo  
forces that had overrun the Netherlands.  
  
Following the war Corrie began to tell her story of God's  
faithfulness and his mercy, even in the darkest and deepest pit.  
The same faith that compelled the ten Boom family to stand firm  
in the face of evil would continue to shape Corrie's life as she bore  
witness to the great power of God's love to forgive, to heal, and to  
restore.  
  
"A groundbreaking book that shines a clear light on one of  
the darkest moments of history."  
-Philip Yancey, author, *What's So Amazing About Grace?* and  
*The Jesus I Never Knew*
