what would you do if your friends were being killed because of their faith in God or the color of their skin? Would you take a stand to help them? What if you didn't even know the people being killed? Would you be willing to risk your own life to save theirs?
this was Corrie Ten Booms and her family's life. they were an outstanding family who took in Jews and hid them from the soldiers. one night the soldiers invaded there home and hit and beat Corrie and her sister. they were not gong to give in and tell them. they said that would rather die then tell the nasty solders where they were hiding. even though the soldiers were poking holes in the wall looking for the "secret place" they never found the hiding spot that was in Corrie's room. she would only do so much cause she was sick with the flu and very sleepy from it. before this terrible night, while she was in harrlem she was well know. she started bible studies and was helping around the town. then that Nazis came in a made life miserable;e for everyone. despite the hard times, Corrie lived through all the struggles and maintained her beliefs as a christian. after the war, she traveled to over 60 countries telling people about gods love and the horror of the conception camps. she lived in California from 1977 till she died on her 91st birthday in 1983.

It's true. Corrie didn't try to get out of her situation or accuse God. She just was different by standing firm through it all.
You were named after her?!?!
That is sooo awesome.
Corrie Ten Boom's faith sure was amazing!
