About the Author
C ORRIE TEN B OOM , Hollands rst woman licensed as a watchmaker, endured ten months in a Nazi prison camp for hiding Jews in the family home during World War II. She and her family had been arrested in a raid on their home; in prison she lost her father and her eldest sister. Her account of these days makes up her best-known book and a 1975 feature-length lm by the same name: The Hiding Place .
At age 52, upon her release from Ravensbruck near Berlin, Corrie dedicated her life to telling of faith in God and the power of forgiveness. She traveled to 64 countries in 33 years, never resting anywhere long enough to call it home and, therefore, earning the title she wore affectionately, a tramp for the Lord.
In 1977, exactly 33 years from the day of her arrest by the Nazis, the 85-year-old Corrie ten Boom settled in a small rented house in Placentia, California. She worked on books and short movies about gratefulness to God, trust in Him and both practicing and experiencing forgiveness.
Corrie went to be with her precious Savior on April 15, 1983, her 91st birthday.
Introduction from the Publisher
T here are certain people whose wisdom, compassion and genuine love for God and His people span generations. Corrie ten Boom is one of those. Her insights were forged in the fires of tribulation during the Nazi Holocaust when she, her sister and her father were arrested for hiding Jews.
In this devotional, you will read accounts of her imprisonment, where the Lord met her and her sister in profound ways. You will glean from the 33 years of ministry that followed. But most importantly, we believe you will encounter the One who became Corries closest FriendJesus.
Her life is a story of timeless treasure, which deserves to be shared over and over again. She reminds us that in times of great darkness, Gods love shines through. In Corries own words, there is no pit so deep that the love of Jesus Christ is not deeper still.
Chosen Books thanks Elizabeth Sherrill, who with her husband, John, worked with Corrie to write The Hiding Place , for giving permission to use text from this beloved Christian classic. We also thank Revell, a sister division at Baker Publishing Group, for allowing us to draw upon the rich content from Corrie under their care. Lastly, we are grateful to Gretchen Rodriguez, who carefully compiled and edited the devotional content and wrote the prayers, which embody Corries heart and writings so well.
It is our delight to share with you these priceless nuggets of grace and truth from Corrie ten Boom.
Day 1
Victory Is Found in Him
God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you cant take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.
Ephesians 2:89
I n Germany I once met a woman who told me that 42 years prior, she had committed a terrible sin and since then had prayed every day for forgiveness. She did not know that the sin problem was solved at Calvarys cross. I have met many people on my journeys who have similar stories. Faith is a problem for them because they do not yet know the Lord or the truth contained in His Word. Theirs is a torturous saga until they learn of the power of redemption. Once they do, their entire way of living changes for the better. Truth has the power to set everyone free.
The Bible is full of overflowing riches and victory. It is an unfolding story of Gods love. The moment we believe what it says, we are registered in heaven as one who has the rights and privileges that make us multimillionaires in the spiritual realm. When the heart learns to trust the Lord as He should be trustedutterly and without reservationHe throws wide the doors of the treasure-house of grace. He bids us to come with boldness so that we may receive our share of the inheritance. He holds nothing back. As a matter of fact, God is watching over His Word to perform it in our lives (see Jeremiah 1:12). He is eagerly waiting for us to believe Him, my friend!
