This is an amazing book filled with the great sense of joy in times of tribulations. Corrie ten Boom ,even though, has slept in Christ, still spoke to my heart in a special way through the accounts of the book. She risks her life in order to save a group of Jews. A book that will help you realize the Gospel as the power of God, presenting it in and out of season; whether we feel like or not. The book has challenged me to show love even to those who don't really deserve it just as we -who are called - have been shown Love by God through Christ Jesus- our Lord. I highly recommend the book.

A very heart warming and compelling book. It was a great read. Immaculee narrates her own true life story, taking us through all accounts of her life before, during and after the Rwandan genocide. The book begins so well with life moving on smoothly and pacifically. Her story later drifts to what seemed to me like a horrible nightmare, the escalating signs and waves of anger and hatred stir in the air which is followed by a great war that last for about 100 days and claims about 1 million lives. She(Immaculee) loses all her family and is forced to hide in a bathroom for three months. The most remarkable part is finding God in these times of tribulations. I've believed God speaks to those who diligently seeks Him. The aftermath of the war is characterized by great losses especially for loved ones but Immaculee shows love and forgiveness. She journeys on with life, picking it from scratches and mending the broken pieces to establishing her own career and starting up a family. What an amazing book! I highly recommend.
