I’m so glad you enjoyed it Nancy. Our study ended yesterday and I think everyone here was truly moved by Corrie’s story. And I’ve taken that virtual tour through her home — it’s wonderful to see it! What are you reading next? xoxo

Just finished reading the book, The Hiding Place. Also found a virtual tour of the house on the internet. Great book that will stay with me for a long time. thanks for recommending it.

In reply to Ganeida. We just discussed that very thing at our study on Tuesday, Ganeida! We all had to answer the question, what would we do in the same situation, and all ten of us said we would have lied. :( Like Corrie did. But Nollie was amazing -- so pure and trusting. xoxo

Corrie tells a wonderful story about her sister who was so meticulously truthful that when the Gestapo burst into their home & asked where the Jews were hiding she blurted *Under the table.* The table stood on a large rug & under the rug was a trapdoor but the Gestapo only looked under the table, not under the rug. Which reminds me of how Brother Andrew used to *hide bibles in plain sight* & allow God to blind the eyes of the Soviet police. No safer place than hidden in Christ. 🙂

I love Casper ten Boom too, Peggy. And I know what you mean by how it seemed like a new book. I’ve read it four times now, and each time there’s something new and powerful there. And I pray that you will sense God’s care for your son, dear Peggy. Someday those dark lenses will come off, and what we see will be glorious. Nothing can keep us from Christ’s love…. xoxo

Somewhere back, it seems weeks ago now, you were talking about the book. I ordered it right away. I had read it somewhere in my life. It would have been in my pre-Christian life. So now, it seemed like a new book, and I understood deeply her family’s relationship with God. I loved her Dad, and what a beautiful father and role model he was of living like God. I envied her for having that. Honestly, one day, I actually had this “moment”, when I realized God was “the hiding place”! I knew nothing when I had to plan my son’s funeral, but he had high-lighted a verse in his Bible I read and wanted to ask God to do for me. I asked God to keep my child safe in the shadow of His wings, and that I would try to trust in Him that He had Alex in His refuge. Maybe it was my very first awareness, that He could be Alex and my “hiding place”.

In reply to Nancy. I would love to see a pet like that, Nancy. What a cute name. I hope you enjoyed your stay in our neck of the woods! And yes, it's such a blessing to meet with friends and seek the Lord together. Hugs... xoxo

Haven’t read the book yet but will place it on my list. My son and I were an hour from Lake Superior last week visiting my husband’s cousin in WI and her 16 year old ring neck dove named teedee. Never knew birds were so smart. How fortunate you are to have this wonderful group of women to meet with this summer and grow in the love of Christ together.
