How can a mere watchmaker (a single woman in the 1940’s) make an impact on the world? How can she save not just lives, but souls? She does it by trusting God and opening up her home in times of immense danger.  

About the book

Corrie Ten Boom’s The Hiding Place allows the reader to see how God uses the weak things of this world to shame the strong. Corrie, being far from perfect, is used mightily for the kingdom of God as she, along with her family, choose to hide those being persecuted by the Nazi regime. It is in this act of offering a hiding place to those in need that she herself finds her hiding place in the Lord.

Corrie and her family will capture your hearts as you read about their decision to count the cost and follow Jesus even when it means imprisonment in a concentration camp. You cannot deny the faithfulness of God as you read of how He sustains Corrie to do His work!

The Hiding Place is a book that everyone must read at some point in their lives. If you are wrestling with the times that we live in or are struggling with fears surrounding war and suffering, this book will be sure to encourage your heart.  If you are a single woman, this book is one to celebrate, as it is a reminder that our identity and purpose is not in our marital status but in who we are in Christ!
