The True Story of a Real-Life Hero

It's World War II. Darkness has fallen over Europe as the Nazis spread hatred, fear and war across the globe. But on a quiet city corner in the Netherlands, one woman fights against the darkness.

In her quiet watchmaking shop, she and her family risk their lives to hide Jews, and others hunted by the Nazis, in a secret room, a "hiding place" that they built in the old building.

One day, however, Corrie and her family are betrayed. They're captured and sent to the notorious Nazi concentration camps to die. Yet even in that darkest of places, Corrie still fights.

This is her story--and the story of how faith, hope and love ultimately triumphed over unthinkable evil.

So glad I read this. It gave me an understanding of how scary it was during the War while Germany was hunting for the Jews. Many people risked and gave their lives to protect the Jews—to do God’s work. It was a terrible time, and this story is heartbreaking. It needed to be told. So glad Hitler was stopped. All people matter.

I sum up my reading of this story with a greater understanding of faith in action, bond of family, the sorrow and joy of forgiveness and loving your neighbor as yourself. In reading I returned back to 1st Thessalonians 5:16-18 "Rejoice always,pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" these verses come alive in this book and will change how you see them forevermore.
Find a cozy spot and get ready for an adventure with God through the life of Carrie Ten Boom.

My daughter is reading this with her 7th grade class. I decided to read it also. It’s a very good book about letting go of hurts. That keeping them with you isn’t healthy and true healing begins with prayer and love. I’m thankful my child was “made” to read this book

Corrie Ten Boom and her sister, Betsie had every reason in the world to hate the people who caused them and so many others such harm during the Holocaust, all in the name of Hitler. Yet, they forgave their tormentors, went on to found two homes for people who had been through the same or worse conditions, in concentration camps during the war. The power of forgiveness,the testament to God's faithfulness and provision in a dark, dark time in this world's history is woven through Corrie's biography. An absolute must read in today's world.

Very pleased with the book but did not know that it said on the front 'young readers version'. As I bought this for adults I was a bit disappointed with that but the book itself is the adult version it just as line drawings in it and so they call it the young readers version, but it does mean explaining it to people when you give it as a present.
