About this listen

At one time, Corrie ten Boom would have laughed at the idea that she had a story to tell. For the first 50 years of her life, nothing out of the ordinary ever happened to her. She was a spinster watchmaker living contentedly with her sister and their elderly father in the tiny house over their shop in Haarlem. Their uneventful days, as regulated as their own watches, revolved around their abiding love for one another.

But with the Nazi invasion and occupation of Holland, everything changed. Corrie ten Boom and her family became leaders in the Dutch underground, hiding Jewish people in their home in a specially built room and aiding their escape from the Nazis. For their pains, all but Corrie found death in a concentration camp.

Here is a story aglow with the glory of God and the courage of a quiet Christian whose life was transformed by it.

Critic reviews

"Wanda McCaddon does great credit to the writers of this true story. Her emotional control makes the tension and horror of the family’s plight more real and hideous. The listener is left with a story of extraordinary humanity, goodness and overwhelming love." ( AudioFile)

Enthralling biography

Very important story of love and devastation. Flawlessly narrated. Compelling and joyful despite the horrors described. I didn't want to leave Corrie when the book ended. Corrie and Betsie had me in awe as to what the power of faith can achieve.

I've read this book, now listened to it. Love the narration. So moving, what a wonderful witness this amazing family were. Can't quite describe the mixed emotions felt whilst listening to the book. Love it, yet astonished how cruel fellow humans can be towards each other.

Fantastic. Striking how unassuming the Ten Booms are & how obvious they make it seem to do the right thing. Reality of nazi occupation, imprisonment & a concentration camp conveyed in all its horrifying detail. Despite unimaginable loss Corrie is unbroken #walkerbookrv
