ABOUT THE BOOK
"If you look at the world, you'll be distressed. If you look within, you'll be depressed. But if you look at Christ, you'll be at rest."--Corrie ten Boom
Dutch watchmaker Corrie ten Boom, with her courageous, God-fearing family, sheltered Jews from the Nazis during World War II. This led to her arrest and suffering in prison and concentration camps--as told in her bestselling book The Hiding Place. Her dramatic life story and her more than 40 other books have prepared millions to face their own future with courage--relying on God's love to forgive, overcome, heal and restore.EXCERPT
“Day 25 - Has God Forgotten Me?” p. 110, 246 words
Ravensbruck was a work camp. The enemy planned to work us to
death. Before the war ended, 96,000 women died there. Even my dear Betsie
became an old woman before my eyes and slowly starved to death.
The smoke from the crematorium was like a black haze over the
camp. Every day seven hundred women died or were killed. There were far too
many of us, and death was the only solution to the problem. I looked death in
the eye day after day, and I found the Lord to be my refuge. He had not
forsaken me. On the contrary, His presence became my hiding place.
In all that hell around us, the promises from the Bible kept us
sane. I slowly learned not to trust in myself, my faith or my feelings, but to
trust in Him. It was vital to remain anchored to His Word when my thoughts
fought to lead me astray. I hungered for the truths of His Word and relied on
them to strengthen me when our tiny bits of food could not.
The greatest moment of your life can occur when everything seems
finished for you. This is when you lay your weak hand in the strong hand of
Jesus who can make life and death—present and future—victorious! He can give
you eternal life that starts right now. A life that is filled with the
understanding that He will never leave you. But first, you must believe.
