Listening length: 8 hours and 49 minutes. New York Times bestselling author Larry Loftis presents the first major biography of Corrie ten Boom, a Dutch watchmaker who saved hundreds of Jews during WWII, sacrificing her family and enduring a concentration camp. After surviving, she forgave her captors and dedicated her life to being a Christian missionary. This biography reveals the inspiring life of Corrie ten Boom, whose family transformed their home into a hiding place for Jews and refugees during Nazi raids. Despite the Nazis' awareness of their actions, they never discovered those sheltered within the ten Boom house. Corrie faced the evils of her time with unwavering determination, overcoming immense obstacles and relying on her faith to endure the horrors of a concentration camp. Remarkably, upon her release, she chose forgiveness over bitterness, dedicating her life to helping others worldwide. Corrie's story offers profound lessons on resilience and forgiveness, reminiscent of Schindler's List and echoing the themes of faith found in Unbroken. This biography promises to become a classic work of World War II nonfiction, highlighting the extraordinary courage and compassion of one woman's journey.
