God Is My Hiding Place: 40 Devotions for Refuge and Strength by Corrie Ten Boom Book Review

In God is My Hiding Place is a brand-new devotional based on the life of Corrie Ten Boom and her life story. She was Holland’s first woman licensed as a watchmaker. She also is a Nazi prison camp survivor and had to be there for ten months. She chose to hid Jews in her own home and was arrested when they discovered it. Unfortunately, while she was in prison her sister, Betsie and her father passed away. After she was released, she travelled the world spreading the gospel and the power of forgiveness and healing. She shared in the book how 100,000 women died in the Nazi prison camp some from disease, starvation, and executions. She opened up about how in the concentration camp was crowd and the place was design to hold only 400 but there was 1400 living there. She explained the horrible lack of bed conditions and how fights were a common occurrence there. She also shared how Betsie would pray that peace would fill the room and she casted out the spirit of strife. She revealed how things started changing and how people started to respect each other living in those tight quarters. She opened up about how touched she was when her sister got deathly ill and the woman there were all asking about her and showing care. She explained how Christ is there in our dark situations and how He changes things for the better. 

 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome inspiring devotional who is seeking refuge and they are needing strength in their circumstances. They used a collection of her books to form this new book. I was blessed in reading about how she was able to overcome her difficulty in the prison camp and how she was able to reply on Christ’s power. I loved the style of the book and how each day included a personal story, a scripture verse, and a prayer. I immensely enjoyed reading about her faith and how she was able to forgive and spread the gospel with others. She was able to reply on peace and trust God through it all. Her faith is truly inspiring and her ability to live in forgiveness towards the people who put her in prison.
