Over two million copies sold! The triumphant true story of one courageous Christian woman who became a militant heroine of the anti-Nazi underground."I pray that God forgive them..." Corrie Ten Boom stood naked with her older sister Betsie, watching a concentration camp matron beating a prisoner. "Oh, the poor woman," Corrie cried. "Yes. May God forgive her," Betsie replied.

Here is a book aglow with the glory of God and the courage of a quiet Christian spinster whose life was transformed by it. A story of Christs message and the courage woman who listened and lived to pass it along-with joy and triumph!
