God is My Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom

-

 God is My Hiding Place is  written by Corrie ten Boom. Corrie  ten Boom's  family   were Dutchwatch makers.  They hid  Jews during  World War 11.  The family are  so inspiring to   risk their own lives by hiding the Jews.  The family were  arrested and put in  concentration camps.  Their  story is told in the   book and movie The Hiding  Place.    Corrie   was released  from the concentration camps.  She lived to  tell her story all over the world. She  shared  about   God's love, presence in her  life during   her  time in World War II.   She was a tramp  for the Lord.  I  have   been inspired by her life and  the many lives she touched.   This  devotional  is   so rich , deep and unusual.  In the devotional she  shares  how  she had to forgive   a former S.S. man who  was in the   concentration camp in Ravensbruck. This  officer  came to one of her speaking engagements after the war.  He  told her He  became a Christian.  She  was  face to face with  someone who had hurt her  deeply.  This story   showed me how I  need to forgive in the most difficult situations. and  the people involved.   God is truly  our  hiding place  in the   difficult  days  we  face.   Jesus is our anchor.   Thank you to the publisher,  the author , netgalley for allowing me to read and review this  outstanding book.

 Tell Me the Stories of Jesus  is  by Albert Mohler. Al Mohler  is the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He  hosts   The Briefing and "Thinking in Public".  This  book is a Christian living book.  The parables  were written  with an illustration. Jesus wanted  the audience  to think about what  He  was   saying  and then  move  to  recollect   on the deeper meaning  within the parables.  He  wanted the audience   to think  about where their heart is and to apply  the parables  to their life.  If the meaning is given in a straight forward way  it can be easy  to not think about your life because  the meaning  is given  to the audience and they do not have to pause and think  where Jesus is coming from.  The parables are creative. . This book gives great background  for each of the parables. It is very personable.  This book is well written.  It  is a great book for any Christian and for  any pastor. Thank you for netgalley , the publisher and the author f
