The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten BoomAccording to Corrie & Betsie Ten Boom, life was a faith-building experience. These two women faced one of the most difficult experiences of their lives. Every day, Corrie and Betsie had to convince themselves that everything would be okay once they were freed from "hell", or the concentration camp in which they had been placed. And yet Corrie and Betsie somehow managed to stay in touch. Corrie Ten Boom's astonishing novel, "The Hiding Place," tells the extraordinary adventure of a courageous Christian woman who was sent to a concentration camp with her sister for helping Jews. Both girls depended heavily on the power and words of Christ to guide them through difficult times. They were not praying for themselves, but rather for the souls and actions of the brutal Nazi guards. The year was 1937. It was going to be a great day for the 100th anniversary of the Ten Boom watch store. Corrie and Betsie worked there, with Hans – the apprentice, Toos – the little woman with the sour face and bad mood, Christolfels, a tiny repairman with a big heart and who could forget his father. Corrie describes her father as the most beloved man in all of Haarlem, Netherlands. Everyone who worked in the watch workshop was treated very well. Life was simple. There were no cars or televisions. Everyone in Haarlem lived their lives day by day and didn't worry too much about the future....
