The Hiding Place

[lilygrace]

I have been encouraged by this story. Corrie Ten Boom went through hardship and was treated shamefully for hiding Jewish people.
It is the first book I read when i was realizing i was starting to go through a hard time.

This was the first Christian book I ever read. And then our vicar took us to see the film.

@Truman Ron It's about the experiences of two Christian sisters whose family were sent to the concentration camps during WWII. The family had been hiding Jews.

Hi Helen,
Miss seeing you around, getting sadder with our friends who have left.
The Hiding place always reminded me of Anne Frank. Love both.
Hope all is well!

Wasn't there a place where she would hide and the Lord would speak to her?
It's been a really long time since I read that story.
I almost forgot I had.
Or was that Anne Frank?
I think it was Anne.
Oh-h-h man, or should I say, "old man?" lol

Youth? You can have it!
I'm reminded of a childhood limerick: My eyes are dim, I cannot see, I have not brought my specks with me.
Man, I was a mouthy kid. lol

Anne Frank's family were Jewish and in hiding.

From the Nazis. I see no difference between them and America's present "president."
If one goes back far enough, the originator of the Jews, Judah, and the originator of the Levites, Levi, were brothers.
I'm a Levite and will stand with the Jews. Come what may.
You gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything.
Shalom.

Amen! I have old copies of both "The Hiding Place" and its sequel, "Tramp for the Lord". I enjoyed reading and rereading them over the years.

i used to love reading books like that, testimonies, but I don't know if people still write testimony books.

I would guess that they do, but how much interest do people have in bothering to read them? Too many spending time fighting about who is or should be president and all of the details with regard to Covid-19.

What percentage of the people on this forum post to the prayer forum or even read what is posted on that sub forum or perhaps more to the point join in praying for the real needs which people express. Not as interesting as slinging mud, I guess!

I really and truly wish that I could say that there were few or none of those the posts here about politics, but that would a lie. Fortunately there are some other topics. I wish also I could I could help you with some other books to read but the only one that comes to mind is: "The Cross and the Switchblade" by David Wilkerson.

Ten Boom's testimony will never be forgotten, here or in Heaven. She had a wonderful spirit about her as well. :) There's also Dietrich Bonhoeffer's testimony if you are into that subject matter.

As expected, it's pretty heavy stuff to meditate on after awhile. Makes me think of a light-hearted Italian movie I watched a few times. It was called "Life Is Beautiful." He played a Jew who had been sent to the concentration camps with his son, but tried to keep his son from knowing what was going on to protect him. This scene was of him taking over "translation" for a German soldier, so that his little boy would think it was a game and wouldn't get scared, LoL.

The movie had a somewhat sad ending, but the point was that even great evils and injustices can't overcome the human spirit, and the will to see things from a more positive light.

Good book to read. Glad the Lord led you to it. :)
