corie ten boom

This Saturday during Bible Study, we will be continuing our study on being Just Like Jesus (Max Lucado)- A Forgiving Heart.

And I don't know of any greater illustration than the story of Corie ten Boom.

For those of you unfamiliar with the true story of Corie and her family who were arrested and sent to concentration camp for hiding Jews from Nazis during the second World War, here is a shortened version of the story based on her book The Hiding Place.

There is also a movie based on the book, and for once, the movie doesn't spoil it for the book (I saw the movie before reading the book), as the book covers and tells so much more behind the scene details.

It is a heart-rending and convicting book that will change your perspective of life and God's providence in our lives, and teach you a soul-piercing lesson about forgiveness.
