Oh my, I love this book. I've read it before, but it was years ago. I had a little Aha! moment while reading it this time around. Do you remember that quote about there being no pit so deep that God is not deeper still? I had always thought Corrie said that. Actually, it was her sister Betsie! And the words were some of her last ones. She spoke them while dying in the Ravensbruck concentration camp as encouragement to Corrie. Somehow that made the quote resonate with me even more.

This book is a gem. There is so much in here about forgiveness, about loving our enemies, about moments of deep suffering...I need to be reminded of these truths.

I can't wait to meet this Corrie girl one day in Heaven!


The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom

I know that the experiences of our lives, when we let God use them, become the mysterious and perfect preparation for the work He will give us to do.

"...must tell people what we have learned here. We must tell them that there is no pit so deep that He is not deeper still. They will listen to us, Corrie, because we have been here."
