Have you received Christ as your Lord and Saviour? Find out how to do so on our page: Plan of Salvation _______________ Tell others about Jesus, and live your faith like Corrie Ten Boom did: Though we are not all called to stand against an evil Dictatorship, we are all called by God to share our faith (witness) with those who are not Christians. Some Bible verses that you will find helpful for doing this, and that you may want to commit to memory are found on other pages on our web site (see: Memory Verses; 2nd Set: Salvation!, Plan of Salvation, and Statement of Faith). _________________ © 1995 by Sam Wellman Published by Barbour Publishing, Inc., Urichsville, Ohio _________________

By Sam Wellman She Hid Jews from the Nazis During WWII "Sharing God's love was as natural to her as smiling." At the start of WWII, Corrie ten Boom was, by all accounts, an ordinary, middle-aged, unmarried Dutch woman. At the conclusion of this world-shattering debacle, she had become a woman on a mission from God, a woman literally saved and transformed by the faith she merely accepted. Moved by the tragic plight of the Jews, the ten Booms converted their home in Haarlem, Holland, known as the Beje (pronounced "bay yay"), into a stopover to freedom for many. Tucked away upstairs above the family's respected watch business was a secret room, a hiding place. Because such activities labeled them as enemies of the Nazis, Corrie and her family would eventually be subject to imprisonment and torture in a notorious concentration camp. Yet an emboldened Corrie would let nothing deter her from sharing God's Word and His love, even in the most unthinkable circumstances. Following the war and until her death, Corrie traveled and taught in over sixty countries around the world (-From the Book's Back Cover.) ______________________________ Copyright © 2003 S.G.P.
