I pray that God forgive them...

Corrie Ten Boom stood naked with her older sister Betsie, watching a concentration camp matron beating a prisoner. Oh, the poor woman, Corrie cried. Yes. May God forgive her, Betsie replied. And, once again, Corrie realized that it was for the souls of the brutal Nazi guards that her sister prayed.

Both woman had been sent to the camp for helping the Jews. Christs Spirit and words were their guide; it was His persecuted people they tried to saveat the risk of their own lives; it was His strength that sustained them through times of profound horror.

Here is a book aglow with the glory of God and the courage of a quiet Christian spinster whose life was transformed by it. A story of Christs message and the courage woman who listened and lived to pass it alongwith joy and triumph!

Review

Nadia May does great credit to the writers of this true story....Her emotional control makes the tension and horror of the family s plight more real and hideous....The listener is left with a story of extraordinary humanity, goodness and overwhelming love. --AudioFile

Reader May has the right tone and accent to convey Corrie s middle-aged presentation. The soul searching and questioning that Corrie expresses comes out clearly through the reader. --Kliatt

A story of hope and faith. Its conversational style makes it especially effective in audio. -- Indianapolis Star. Narrator Nadia May provides an authentic and engaging vocal presentation of this fine work. -- Library Journal. --. --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.

This book is awesome. It is unbelievable to me that everything Corrie Ten Boom went through, she NEVER lost God. She never blamed God. What faith she had, and God was with her always. He never left her side. She lost everything but not God. It was absolutely an amazing book. Everyone should read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Hiding Place is a chilling picture of the holocaust., April 20, 1999

The Hiding Place is a chilling but all too real picture of the horror of the holocaust. Corrie Ten Boom pours out her soul into this marvelous novel. Her incorporation with her religious perspectives carries the book along. I would reccomend seeing the movie as well as reading the book as the movie complements the horror.
