Wow.
This is probably one of the most beautiful stories I have read in a long time.
This the wonderful, true story of Corrie Tin Boon and her life during the German occupation in Holland.
The story starts out at the one-hundredth birthday party of her family's watch shop.
Then it moves into their involvement into assisting the persecuted Jews find a hiding place from the Nazis.
Corrie and her family are caught and sent to prison for their leadership in the Underground.
The Tin Boon family is then released, except Corrie, her sister Betsy and her father, who later dies due to lack of medical treatment.
Corrie and her sister are taken to a camp in Brabant.
From there they were then moved into a concentration camp in Germany.
Corrie never stopped helping and caring for those around her. Even after Betsy died, she continued to provide help to those in need.
Soon after her sister's death, Corrie was given her release papers and sent back to Holland, free.
As soon as she came back home, she opened a house for survivors in need and lived the rest of her life in service of others and God.
God never left Corrie, even in her deepest hole of despair, she continued to look to Jesus and share His love with everyone around her.
This is a very touching, emotional, sweet, terrible, beautiful story and I recommend it to anyone in need of an excellent read!
