Showing results for "the-hiding-place" in Women

At one time, Corrie ten Boom would have laughed at the idea that she had a story to tell. For the first 50 years of her life, nothing out of the ordinary ever happened to her. She was a spinster watchmaker living contentedly with her sister and their elderly father in the tiny house over their shop in Haarlem. Their uneventful days, as regulated as their own watches, revolved around their abiding love for one another. But with the Nazi invasion and occupation of Holland, everything changed....

This is the story of Corrie's life with her mother, her father, her siblings, and her aunts before World War II began. This book is a testament to how God prepared one family through a father's faithfulness to his Savior and the Word of God for the most sacrificial service a family could do. Beginning in the years before Corrie was born, In My Father's House paints a beautiful story from which families today can glean valuable and eternally lasting lessons.

Lola Lafon hat eine Nacht allein im ehemaligen Versteck der Familie Frank in Amsterdam verbracht. Sie geht von Raum zu Raum, lauscht dem Echo derer, die dort ausharren mussten, und spürt der Dunkelheit nach. Was sie findet, ist nicht nur die Geschichte Anne Franks, sondern auch die Geschichte ihrer eigenen Familie. Selbst zum verbindenden Element geworden, tastet sich Lola Lafon immer weiter vor. Ein beeindruckender dokumentarischer Roman, der gegen das Vergessen anschreibt und etwas Neues erschafft.
