Analysis Of The Hiding Place By Betsie Ten Boom

In front of an audience of 28 attendees, Pastor Anderson Kim preached from 1 John 4:7-21. He preached "God will greatly blessed zoey with great joy. When you bring up someone you need love. Anyone can be brought up with love, but what kind of love? Love from God first loving us."

“It is not my ability, but my response 1to God’s ability that counts.” Corrie ten Boom helped Jews escape the Holocaust during World War Two. Her family was devoted to serving God and standing for what’s right no matter the cost. They saved about 800 lives, but it wasn’t easy. Her entire family was imprisoned! Through the good and the bad times Corrie looked to God for guidance, and He always provided for her.

In Anne Bradstreet’s poems over the deaths of her grandchildren, the reader is able to see that she is struggling to find a balance between her grief and her faith. This can be seen in each one of her poem’s, as Bradstreet tries to justify the Lord allowing her grandchildren to die at such a young age. She is shown to be wracked with grief at each death, and seems to question why it happens more and more each time. She describes her “troubled heart and trembling hand” as well as her “throbbing heart.” She is somewhat cheered in her knowledge that she will meet the children again some day, after she passes. This can be seen in the lines “Farewell dear child, thou ne’er shall come to me, But yet a while, and I shall go to thee.” In her final poem Bradstreet can be seen to struggle even more as this is the third of her grandchildren that has passed away so far. She states that the children were “Cropped by th’ Almighty’s hand; yet He is good.” She knows that God has a reason for allowing her grandchildren to die at such a young age, however she is seen to be disturbed by the fact that He is the one that has taken the lives of someone so close to her.

“Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God,” she asserted later. Corrie had so much to say about faith, and she is one to be trusted on that subject. Few

Women’s marches. Civil Rights Movement. These historical events started with a little idea and a small category of people. At first, they weren’t as successful, but over time they became larger. Without that one idea and a group of people, the laws would not have been modified. In “Among the Hidden” Jen had the drive to alter the rules. She had risked everything in order to get equality. She did the correct thing by pursuing the rally because her issue would not have been shown, she would not have been an inspiration, and even though it didn’t turn out well she fought for what was right and never gave up.

Etty wrote “Dear God, today I cannot praise you, I honestly don’t feel happy enough.” (Hillesum 100). Growing up, we are all taught that we praise God in times of sorrow and joy because it is a blessing that we are able to live the life that he has granted us. However, for Etty to feel so sad for what is going on around here that she does not even want to pray for a brighter day or even to feel happy shows that she does not believe wholeheartedly. We all have our up and down days, but we all believe that God provides no matter the

This attitude takes center stage at various points in the novel, especially during the sisters’ stays at the prison and concentration camps. Multiple times Corrie hears Betsie speak of how sorry she felt for the German soldiers and how she wishes she could help them see the err of their ways. Betsie’s compassion towards her captors, assaulters, and enemies profoundly illustrates her love for the human race and the desire she has that all know Christ. While in the Vught concentration camp, Betsie states, “Corrie, if people can be taught to hate, they can be taught to love! We must find a way, no matter how long it takes…”. Betsie sees the potential for goodness in everyone she meets despite their actions. Overall, these three themes contribute to the central message of the novel. No matter how desperate a situation or the severity of tribulation, the love of God is greater still and His love provides hope in times of need.

My third quarter reading workshop project for the book The Hiding Place, by Corrie Ten Boom, portrays how the non-Jewish people safeguarded the Jewish people hide from the Nazi’s during World War II. The house is a modern-1900’s Netherlands home, Corrie and her family lived in one of these houses. The house has two “secret” rooms, which has entrances that aren’t obvious for an inspector. These “secret” rooms represent the places where non-Jewish people hid Jewish people from the Nazi’s. This can be seen in The Hiding Place. Corrie, Betsie, and their father are talking about ways to help the Jews. The people with the yellow star of David are the Jew’s and the stars illustrate the discrimination that the Nazi’s made towards the Jews. The people

Food and supplies have been rationed, and everyday items like butter, coffee, heat, and electricity are hard to come by. German soldiers patrol the streets to try to catch Jews and members of the Danish Resistance. Annemarie races her Jewish friend, Ellen Rosen, home from school while her younger sister, 5-year-old Kirsti, trails behind. The girls are stopped by two German soldiers who ask them why they are running and question them about their ethnic backgrounds. One of them tries to touch Kirsti’s hair, but she slaps his hand away.

Pastor Taylor believed Christian preaching was to express the good news of Jesus Christ where sinners could be redirected from a life without meaning to a life of purpose. He was bothered by the fact of how preaching has gone from pointing to Jesus, to pointing to our desires.

Would you allow your house to be used as a safe house for hiding many Jews from the police? The author that published The Hiding Place on November 1971 was Corrie ten Boom. This story takes place mostly in Corrie’s house and many different types of prisons or concentration camps of the Holocaust during World War II. The Hiding Place is the book of Corrie ten Boom and her family that began a network of safe houses for Jews called Beje that ultimately saved about 800 Jews and refugees from death. Corrie’s home was located above her family’s watchmaking shop, so if police ever came to their door, everyone would hear a noise that alerted them so that the Jews could hide in the secret room of the house. In the beginning, Corrie was fearful of getting

She prepares the church for the evening as she shamefully intercedes on the entire family since “There are so many prayers and promises and thanks-to-be-god to be given in the name of the husband and the sons and the only daughter who never attend mass”. She was a good example of a person in the story living in two cultural worlds, while she sticks to her cultural heritage, she still doesn’t want to accept the American culture that her

A room with no table nor chairs and a handful of people in it, sorounding by boxes. Thats describes a place where people have a conversation where no one should hear. Like a secret hiding. Whitch also says that somethings is about to happened but not everyone is allowed to know. It's resembles like a cliffhanger, like there is something more to know and the only way to know it, is by to continue to read the

The prayer that Gwen and I made together reminds others of hope. Natural disasters may make us feel hopeless because they cause an immense amount of destruction and are beyond our control, but hope is important. Many things in our own lives are beyond our control and block us from reaching our goals, but beyond the obstacles there are beautiful things in life that we do not see. Silverstein reminds us that life has so many possibilities and opportunities for us that we tend to forget about, after all, from his poem Listen to the Musnt’s he quotes, “Anything can happen child/ ANYTHING can be.” For example, if I do not get into the university I want to, there are great ways to move forward other than being pitiful, such as doing well in a school

Although the driver and his family didn’t die, both of my friends lost their lives when ejected out of the vehicle and dragged on the asphalt. I could be the third one spread out on the bloody road. That experience brought me deep thoughts until these days, many years later. I have had other occasions in my life when I had to pass through dark valleys and move away from horrible endings. But during all this time HE WAS HERE. Sometimes, is easier not to feel His presence. But at the end, I have to admit HE IS HERE. This keeps me going and experiencing His Love. Today, despite that my life is full of ups and downs, considering my entire journey on earth, I can’t remember one single moment when God’s care seemed to be short. In the spiritual view, there’s no human comparison to God’s profile. It makes me think that the need of this Unique, Incomparable, Unmatchable One, is what makes us re-think our own condition. Listening to this song from Michael W Smith, I kept thinking… Yeah, He has been faithful to me all the time. Even when I decide to make myself not available to Him. But the reality is that He is there. And better than that, I
