I've known I should read this book since first hearing about it as a kid, but I never did until this past fall. The story of how the Lord used Corrie and her family to save countless lives during WWII is amazing. I look forward to visiting the hiding place in Holland soon!

"Perhaps only when human effort had done its best and failed, would God's power alone be free to work." Page 138
Corrie's very physically sick sister Betsie speaking while they were in a work camp – "…must tell people what we have learned here. We must tell them that there is no pit so deep that He is not deeper still. They will listen to us, Corrie, because we have been here." Page 227
"There Corrie learned that her own release had been part of a clerical error; one week later all women her age were taken to the gas chamber." Page 250
