From the Back Cover
Sharing God’s love was as natural to her as smiling.
When the second world war began, Corrie ten Boom was simply an ordinary, middle-aged Dutch spinster. By the time the conflict ended, she was literally transformed by the faith she had merely accepted—and she was on a mission from God.
Corrie and her family, moved by the plight of the Jews, built a secret room—a hiding place—into their home in Haarlem, Holland. Discovered by the Nazis, the ten Booms were sent to notorious concentration camps. By God’s grace, Corrie would survive to become a “tramp for the Lord,” sharing in more than sixty nations the thrilling message that nothing, not even death, can separate us from God’s love.
