“Although the threads of my life have often seemed knotted, I know, by faith, that on the other side of the embroidery there is a crown. Before long, the Nazis captured Corrie and her family and sent them to a concentration camp, where Corrie lost both her sister and father.īut remarkably, throughout this turbulent time, from her near-destitute days in postwar New York to her heart-stopping adventures in Africa, Corrie sustained the faith in God that helped her become one of the most beloved evangelists of her time.
Armed with the gift of their faith and their belief in doing what was right, this devoutly Christian family provided sanctuary for persecuted Jews. In 1940, Corrie ten Boom was living with her father and sister above their watch shop in Haarlem when their country was invaded. Released after ten months, she tramped the world with “a burning desire to tell others that Jesus is a reality, that He lives, that He is Victor.Continuing from her bestseller The Hiding Place, Corrie Ten Boom’s inspirational life story proves that miracles do happen. Hiding Jewish refugees led to the family’s arrest and Corrie was imprisoned in a German concentration camp.
‘Fraulein, will you forgive me?’” Corrie ten Boom lived with her family in Holland for fifty years before the outbreak of World War II. I was face to face with one of my captors and my blood seemed to freeze. Now he was in front of me, hand thrust out.
It came back with a rush: The place was Ravensbruck and the man who was making his way forward had been a guard-one of the most cruel guards. Take, for instance, one of Corrie's moving stories: “It was in a church in Munich that I saw him… One moment I saw the overcoat and the brown hat the next, a blue uniform and a visored cap with its skull and crossbones. Join Corrie on a worldwide trip that could only have been planned by God. Tramp for the Lord begins where Corrie ten Boom's all-time classic, The Hiding Place, ends.
