A Prisoner...and Yet- Corrie ten Boom

Lenten reading right now-

A gift from a friend- dear Nita.

Corrie is such an inspiration to me.

Spent much time in camps by Nazi Germany.

For helping and hiding Jews.

Many people are familiar with her book-

Corrie ten Boom was a Dutch watchmaker 

who became a heroine of the Resistance,

 a survivor of Hitler's concentration camps,

 and one of the most remarkable evangelists

 of the twentieth century. 

In World War II she and her family 

risked their lives to help Jews

 and underground workers escape from the Nazis,

 and for their work they were tested 

in the infamous Nazi death camps. 

Only Corrie among her family survived

 to tell the story of how faith 

ultimately triumphs over evil.

The idea of a book on ten Boom's life began

 as John and Elizabeth Sherrill 

were doing research for the book 
Gods-Smuggler

about ten Boom's fellow Dutchman,
Brother-Andrew 

 Corrie ten Boom was already
 in her mid-seventies

 when the Sherrills first heard about her.

 She was one of Brother Andrew's

 favorite traveling companions 

and many of his recollections were about her.
The Hiding Place was published in 1971.

A Prisoner... and Yet was published in 1947, 
by Evangelical Publishers- Toronto, Canada.

 The inside cover of my book has an inscription-

Jesus is Victor

and her signature.
This publication is the first book
 telling the story as related 
by Corrie ten Boom.

A favorite quote that was important
 to Corrie in her journey-
"Our hearts rejoice that God alone 
Is seated still upon His throne."

And TODAY- 
not matter what we are going through-
these words of TRUTH resound with HOPE.
