The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom
Reading Level: 6.4
AR Points: 13
As the Nazis swept through Europe, a watchmaker's family in Holland tried to help Jews escape to freedom. They are caught and sent to Ravensbruck. Will their faith endure even in a concentration camp?
I have read this book several times and never fail to be inspired by the quiet strength of the main characters. The story reminds me how I should constantly look for ways to be thankful, helpful, and stay true to my beliefs. When Corrie berates herself for being selfish (in a concentration camp!!!), I think of how I don't have ANYTHING to complain about in my life. Rating ***** 5 Stars
Iv'e read this book. I like it because even it tells the horror of what happened, it also shows hope and gratitude.
