As a family we have been reading an incredibly helpful and moving book, called the Hiding Place, by Corrie Ten Boom.

Because they loved Jesus and the Word of God, they opened their...

Due to the brutality, extreme exposure, malnutrition and filth, Corrie's sister Betsie died about a week before her release. Two incidents drove home to me the importance of timely acts of kindness. Upon her release, Corrie was struggling to get...
