Corrie ten Boom and the Hiding Place
Corrie ten Boom (1892-1983) was born in Haarlem, The Netherlands. After being arrested in 1944 for helping Jews escape, Corrie spent a year during World War II in prison camps. After the war, she was invited to share her experiences in more than sixty countries and was honored by the state of Israel for her work during the war. Her life story, The Hiding Place, was originally released in 1971. In 1977, she settled in California, where she died in 1983, on her 91st birthday.

Product description
From the Back Cover
Corrie ten Boom was a Dutch watchmaker who became a heroine of the Resistance, a survivor of Hitler's concentration camps, and one of the most remarkable evangelists of the twentieth century. In World War II she and her family risked their lives to help Jews and underground workers escape from the Nazis, and for their work they were tested in the infamous Nazi death camps. Only Corrie among her family survived to tell the story of how faith ultimately triumphs over evil.
Here is the riveting account of how Corrie and her family were able to save many of God's chosen people. For 35 years millions have seen that there is no pit so deep that God's love is not deeper still. Now The Hiding Place, repackaged for a new generation of readers, continues to declare that God's love will overcome, heal, and restore.
"A groundbreaking book that shines a clear light on one of the darkest moments of history."--Philip Yancey, author, The Jesus I Never Knew
"Ten Boom's classic is even more relevant to the present hour than at the time of its writing. We . . . need to be inspired afresh by the courage manifested by her family."--Jack W. Hayford, president, International Foursquare Church; chancellor, The King's College and Seminary
"The Hiding Place is a classic that begs revisiting. Corrie ten Boom lived the deeper life with God. Her gripping story of love in action will challenge and inspire you!"--Joyce Meyer, bestselling author and Bible teacher

- Reviewed in Canada on June 28, 2025Verified PurchaseI love reading Corrie's The Hiding Place. My friend lent hers to me. The book is a powerful story about her faith; her triumph in the midst of her trials; her family's decision to hide the Jews at the expense of their safety. It is an awesome testimony of her life so I decided to buy it for myself.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 8, 2025Verified Purchaseexcellent, inspiring book
- Reviewed in Canada on December 14, 2024Verified PurchaseSuch feelings , hurt, faith and survival in this history book. I just wish our world can change and be loving kind 🙏 for all have respect
- Reviewed in Canada on April 20, 2019Verified PurchaseI got this in the mail today and started reading it! I have read some of Corrie's other books and look forward to finishing this one. We visited her house in Haarlem this summer and I would recommend a stop there for everyone on their Europe trip!
- Reviewed in Canada on June 11, 2017Verified PurchaseThis was an amazing book about life and love and forgiveness and so many other things that most people have lost sight of in our current world, it appears nowadays that everyone is so self-centered I do not know if this type of a situation would happen very much anymore. Who knows God does work in marvelous and wonderful ways.
- Reviewed in Canada on December 5, 2019Verified PurchaseEnjoyable and thought provoking. So nice to have photos!
- Reviewed in Canada on March 12, 2018Verified PurchaseOne of my favourite books of all-time. This book is a life changer.
- Reviewed in Canada on December 4, 2012Verified PurchaseNot only did I love this book, I also bought the movie based on this book. Nowadays, most people in North America don't have a clue what it takes to survive a war. This is good preparation for all of us living in peaceful countries, where things could (but hopefully won't) change in a split second.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente livro - uma verdadeira historia de esperança!
Verified PurchaseLi este livro quando andava no liceu, e nunca mais me esqueci dele! A historia das irmãs, num campo de concentração Nazi, e tudo que passaram - e a fé que as manteve vivas - é um testemunho inesquecível. A frase que nunca mais esqueci - embora já me tinha esquecido do titulo do livro - e que me ajudou a encontrar o livro foi "Graças a Deus pelas pulgas". Parece improvável, mas no meio de tanto mal, tanto sofrimento, tão pouca esperança - A Corrie ainda agradeceu Deus pelas pulgas. Só lendo...a acreditem, vale mesmo a pena ler.
Quando pensamos que não há esperança, há sempre algo pelo qual temos que agradecer. Sempre.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book Review: The Hiding Place (35th Anniversary Edition) by Corrie ten Boom
Verified PurchaseI’ve grown up hearing the name Corrie ten Boom—like a distant family member whose story was always part of the background of my faith. I remember watching the movie as a child, though I didn’t fully understand the depth of what it meant at the time. Now, having read The Hiding Place three times—once in high school, again a few years ago, and now the 35th anniversary edition—I see just how profound and powerful her testimony truly is.
As a Christian, this story resonates deeply with me. Corrie’s unwavering reverence for Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, is something I’ve often found myself falling short of. And yet, through her, I see what it looks like to love sacrificially, to obey God above man, and to choose compassion in the face of unspeakable evil. She risked everything to protect people who were not like her, and that choice still challenges me today.
One of the most striking parts of Corrie’s story is how she finds a way to give thanks for things as small and seemingly unbearable as fleas. She learns to say, “Thank you,” even for those who hate her—because it’s shaping her into someone who refuses to become hateful in return. That kind of gratitude and resilience is so rare, and it reminds me how we are called to a higher way of living, one rooted in grace.
Her honesty also moved me. Corrie never claimed to be perfect, and that’s part of what makes her so relatable. It was her sister Betsie’s deep, unwavering faith, and her father’s gentle wisdom, that helped shape her. They were all ordinary people who chose to trust God in extraordinary circumstances—and through them, God did incredible things.
This memoir isn’t just a historical account—it’s a testimony of transformation, forgiveness, and faith. It’s a reminder not to look at the wounds people inflict, but to look at Jesus. When I’m hurt or told I’m not worthy, I’ve learned—through Corrie’s words—not to focus on the sting, but to turn to Him, and somehow, He takes the pain away.
The Hiding Place has taught me that healing can happen in quiet, humble ways—like through growing a garden, or choosing to forgive. It’s also reminded me that there is no safer place to be than in the center of God’s will, even if that place looks dangerous from the outside.
This is one of the best memoirs I’ve ever read. It’s on my permanent bookshelf, and I know I’ll return to it again and again, especially when I need to be reminded of God’s goodness and mercy in dark times. I believe that anyone who approaches this book with an open heart—whether they share Corrie’s faith or not—will find something of value in her story.
Her life is a living picture of what it means to love in a world that tries to tear love apart. And for that, I’m forever grateful.
