I obviously read WAAAY more books than I have time to blog about (just ONE so far in 2010? really???), but I will tell you that Corrie ten Boom's The Hiding Place was wonderful and heroic and thought-provoking--and means more to me today than when I read it back in the 'Seventies. TEN STARS!
Our HOPE church book club chose this one...and I'm so thankful! (At first, I was a little disappointed because I'd already read it, but getting the updated 35th Anniversary Edition--and being 30 years older and more mature--made this the PERFECT choice.)
The other night, probably around 2 or 3 in the morning (when everyone does their best thinking), I lay awake considering how these two elderly spinsters mustered the courage to fight injustice, ready and willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice. Corrie's recounting of their ordeal in prison, cattle cars, and a concentration camp broke my heart...and challenged me to be more deliberate about being the hands and feet of Jesus on this earth.
