Title: The Hiding Place
by: Corrie Ten Boom 

Summary: 

This is a book that reminds us to be Christ-like & "grateful in every circumstance." The Ten Boom family, a Christian family living in Holland, take it upon themselves to help the Jews trying to escape the oppressive Nazi occupation during World War II. Corrie & her sister Betsie teach some of the most tender lessons about how to love & forgive our enemies, and how to show gratitude for every little thing.   Also, there isn't any language in this book, & although it's a wartime book, it has such a positive spin on it that it differs greatly from many other WWII books. 
​
Favorite Quotes: 
"God's viewpoint is sometimes different from ours-- so different that we could not even guess at it unless HE had given us a Book that tells us such things. God values us not for our strength or our brains, but simply because he has made us." 

This psalm lends credence to the title- "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, & a light unto my path... Thou art my hiding place & my shield."  
​
"Happiness isn't something that depends on our surroundings..it is something we make inside of ourselves." 

"This was evil's hour; we could not run away from it. Perhaps only when human effort had done its best & failed, would God's power alone be free to work." 


"There are no 'if's' in God's world. And no places that are safer than other places. The center of His will is our only safety."  

"If people can be taught to hate, they can be taught to love!"
