The Hiding Place (Young Reader's Edition) by Corrie Ten Boom

          It has been over 30 years ago that I first read the original book The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom.  Unlike most of the books that I read so many years ago, this is one that will never forget! I had to put it down so many times because the details and the events that happened were more than my young mind was able to taken in.  I was excited to see that there was a newly revised book for younger people.

          Corrie Ten Boom was a watchmaker at her father’s place of business.  Their home was a place that people enjoyed visiting and there was always an abundance of Christ’s love.   During World War II she and her entire family risked their lives to help Jews escape from the Nazis.  It is amazing how Corrie and her family were able to save many of God's chosen people.  They were eventually betrayed by a former employee and her whole family was arrested. 

          They were all taken to Hitler’s concentration camps.  While there they experienced things that are hard to even begin to imagine!  Corrie’s shares some of the evil as well as the miracles that could only be from God that she experienced while in the camp. 

           This is a truly remarkable book that shows an unwavering faith in God by Corrie Ten Boom.  A definite must read!

LETTING GO OF YOUR LIMITATIONS - Experiencing God's Transforming Power

I was extremely slow about reading and finishing the book Letting Go of Your Limitations – Experiencing God’s Transforming Power  by Sandie Freed. I kept picking the book up and putting it down. It never really grabbed my attention like I need for a book to do.

This book talks about our purpose and why we were created – To Bring God Glory. If that is going to truly happen… we need to get rid of the things in our lives that hinder us from doing just that. I did enjoy the Time for Reflection sections…because it made me look at myself and do some evaluation. Legalism, pride, false beliefs, demonic spirits, and many other issues were discussed throughout the book. There were many Scripture references throughout the book that I always enjoying reading. 

For the most part though…I found the book to be very dry.  This author was brand new to me, so I would probably have a hard time picking up one of her books again. 

This book was sent to me from Chosen Book Publishers at no charge. The opinions expressed here are my own.
