Author Description

Out of the evil called the Holocaust arose a witness, a voice that<br> even the Nazis could not silence, a voice that testified to the<br> power of God to overcome every wickedness and sorrow.<br> Corrie ten Boom is that witness and her powerful story recounts<br> the courage of one Christian family of Dutch watchmakers who<br> determined to save Jews and resistance workers from the Gestapo<br> forces that had overrun the Netherlands. <p> Following the war Corrie began to tell her story of God's<br> faithfulness and his mercy, even in the darkest and deepest pit.<br> The same faith that compelled the ten Boom family to stand firm<br> in the face of evil would continue to shape Corrie's life as she bore<br> witness to the great power of God's love to forgive, to heal, and to<br> restore. <p> "A groundbreaking book that shines a clear light on one of<br> the darkest moments of history."<br> --Philip Yancey, author, <i>What's So Amazing About Grace?</i> and<br><i>The Jesus I Never Knew</i> <p> Hendrickson Classic Biographies<i> feature enduring stories about<br> real people whose lives have been touched and transformed by God, <br> and who in turn have touched others with God's love.
