My Review:
It was during my senior year in high school that I first read “The Hiding Place”, written by Corrie ten Boom, for a book report. I didn’t realize then as I was reading Corrie’s story the amazing impact this book was going to have in my walk of faith. The faith that Corrie and Betsy showed during the very worst of times stuck with me, and their testimony spurred me on to get serious about studying the Bible and turn to God in all situations. Through the years, I’ve had the opportunity to read and be challenged by many of Corrie ten Boom’s other books. I’m delighted to say that her life and testimony lives on in this new compilation of her writings.
The reason I mentioned the above is that now, all these many years later, I’ve felt the same impact in reading this devotional book, “God is My Hiding Place”. It truly could be called “the best of Corrie ten Boom” as these devotions are taken from the most memorable of her writings. Reading one of these devotions each day is much like sitting with her over a cup of coffee and absorbing the wisdom and encouragement she had gained over a life lived totally for God. Each day’s reading begins with a scripture passage and ends with a prayer. In between we learn of Corrie’s amazing life and how she grew to become a woman of God who was fearless in sharing her faith all over the world.
I can’t encourage you enough to add “God is My Hiding Place” to your collection of devotional books. I’m going to purchase several of these to give away as gifts. I’m excited for a new generation of readers to come to know Corrie through these pages, and for the incredible blessings that will come rom reading this book.
I voluntarily received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
