The fifth and final section of The Hiding Place demonstrated a harrowing, tragic, and slightly upsetting look at the effects of The Holocaust and provided an interesting example of how we should handle and process death in our own lives and relationships. What I just read reminds me of the time in my life during which my grandfather perished. While I did not know him extremely well, his death as a result of stage four cancer still deeply impacted me and I mourned selfishly as I did not think of how

In The Hiding Place, Corrie was faced with many decisions, including if it would be okay in this circumstance to break God’s law and if what she was doing even breaking it at all. I believe that for her circumstance, it was okay to lie to them, even though God told us not to. I also believe that it was not a sin to lie to the Nazis who were doing wrong to the Jews.

When I was in the 8th grade, I read your book, The Hiding Place, for the first time. I am not much of a reader, so I struggle to get excited over books.
