The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom
4.0
I listened to this book on Audible, and the audio is great. The first half of this book had me entranced because I love stories about WWII. It’s a time in history that I can’t seem to look away from. It’s one of the darkest moments in human history and I think humanity is destined to repeat itself if we don’t frequently remind ourselves of what we are capable of. Corrie Ten Boom’s story is inspiring and her book made me want to visit her home in Holland!
The second half of the book should have held my interest because of the events described, but for some reason, it didn’t. I have no issue with Corrie’s praise and devotion to God during her imprisonment, but I also wish I could have seen more of the small doses of kindness from the people around her, and read more about what she saw others go through.
