- Forgiveness can be a hard thing to do but it is important for not only your soul but to also quiet the stormy sea of life.

From the page:
Corrie ten Boom has long been honored by evangelical Christians as an exemplar of Christian faith in action. Arrested by the Nazis along with the rest of her family for hiding Jews in their Haarlem home during the Holocaust, she was imprisoned and eventually sent to the Ravensbruck concentration camp along with her beloved sister, Betsie, who perished there just days before Corrie's own release on December 31, 1944. Inspired by Betsie's example of selfless love and forgiveness amid extreme cruelty and persecution, Corrie established a post-war home for other camp survivors trying to recover from the horrors they had escaped. She went on to travel widely as a missionary, preaching God's forgiveness and the need for reconciliation. Corrie's devout moral principles were tested when, by chance, she came face to face with one of her former tormentors in 1947. The following description of that experience is excerpted from her 1971 autobiography, The Hiding Place, written with the help of John and Elizabeth Sherrill.
Corrie Ten Boom is an example for us all to live by. Her faith, her strength, and most of all, her trusting in the Holy Spirit and being able to forgive the person who inflicted such suffering & shame upon her is an inspiration.

- I greatly admire people whose faith gives them courage to reach out to people, to take personal risks, and to do the right thing. Corrie Ten Boom's biography, which is excerpted here, recounts the bravery of her sister Betsie and her, as they hid Jews and then braved the camps when they themselves were caught.

- I am pleased to have stumbledupon this one - thanks to everyone who has thumbed it up! I downloaded this years ago as an .mp3 and it remains one of the most encouraging and enriching things I have ever heard. What an incredible, incredible blessing. It is wonderful seeing folks use the Internet for eternal good. RH

- Corrie ten Boom is an amazing example of what God can do for us. She did not want to forgive him, but she wanted peace and forgiveness. She asked God for help. That's really all any of us can do, ask Him to help us.
