This is an amazing story of how love can triumph over hate, and how one can even forgive an enemy. It is through the love of Jesus and how he changes us. This is a book we need today.

What a wonderful family ... strengths, weaknesses, faith, doubt, courage, fear ... so glad their response to those hunted by the Nazis has been told. Can we find many today as full of faith and courage to meet challenges of our times?

Such a great read. Sometimes, when I feel grumpy about my circumstances, I remember the positivity the author's sister maintained in the camp. It turns my focus back on God and what He may be doing in those circumstances.

I found this book to be a very interesting yet intense account of repulsive events. The book is written from Corrie’s viewpoint. She uses such great illustration that I felt I was there and standing next to her – in her watchmaking shop,…

I really loved this book. Corrie and her family were inspirational in caring for others. I loved how Corrie didn't necessarily know what she was doing or how to do it, but realized God had equipped her with skills and connections that…
