Corrie ten Boom's 1971 book The Hiding Place told the story of an evangelical Christian family in Holland that was involved in Resistance work against the Nazi occupation, including the concealment of Jews from the Nazis. The Ten Boom family had always been sympathetic to Jews long before the rise of Hitler and the Nazi state, and regarded them as a Chosen People who would always have a special place in God's plans. They were arrested by the Gestapo in 1944, and Corrie's father, brother, sister and nephew all died at the hands of the Nazis, although they never found the hiding place of the Jews in their house. In Ravensbruck concentration camp, Corrie and her sister also vowed that they would travel the world as Christian missionaries after the war, describing how their faith in Christ sustained them even under the worst circumstances imaginable. Betsie died in the camp in December 1944, shortly before Corrie was released due to an administrative error, although she believed it was certainly a miracle and act of divine intervention that had saved her from death. She kept her promise, and spent the rest of her life traveling the world as an evangelical missionary, often associated with Billy Graham.

The wind whispers words that are foreign. It speaks a language that man has understood since his beginning, but as it can only be understood once it is foreign to most men. The wind carries something lethal, it is the harbinger of an evil inflicted by man upon man, it speaks nothing but death. A brief silence follows in its absence, and takes ahold of the battlefield. Now and then one can hear the desperate breaths of men unwilling to part with life, but these too are snuffed out, choked under a hellish canopy made of gunpowder powder, soot, and mud. This is the worst part. The battle is always the worst part. He knows this too well to be bothered by these scenes that unfold before him.

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.

Corrie Ten Boom exemplified the characteristics of a visionary leader through her inspirational motivation in the Dutch underground resistance against Nazi Germany. Corrie witnessed the Jewish oppression at the hands of the Nazis and rejected it (Straub, 1992). One night, a Jewish woman went to Corrie and asked for help and Corrie agreed. Soon, Corrie became an active part of the Dutch underground resistance and worked to save the Jews (Ten Boom, 2006). Here, Corrie used her gift of inspirational motivation to inspire and motivate others to join the resistance or support the effort by providing food ration cards, supplies, or safe passage for the Jews and resistance workers. She even had a hidden room built in her house to hide the Jews residing there (Straub, 1992; Ten Boom, 2006).
