When Heaven came to Hell
Back in late summer, I was prompted to re-visit the remarkable story of Corrie ten Boom and her family, so I bought a copy of her book, The Hiding Place, at a Christian store in Berkshire, England.
It was only when the war in Israel broke out that I realised how apt was the timing of this purchase. A Christian classic (thanks in part to the journalistic skills of John and Elizabeth Sherill), it was published in the early 1970s when I first became a believer. I well recall the day when Corrie, sitting a few rows behind me, was welcomed to a service at All Souls, Langham Place, in London, by our pastor John Stott.
From a Dutch watchmaking family of devoted Christians, Corrie and her sister Betsie were single ladies in their fifties when the dark days of Nazi occupation changed their lives forever.
