Review by Sara Watkins, Payroll Manager
I usually shy away from wartime, tragic true stories and fiction alike. I love to read, but it’s for escape not for the hard, cold reality. So when my book club decided to read The Hiding Place, a book I had never heard of, I was hesitant. But it was my first time in a book club, and I wanted to participate, so I decided to read it.
The book was real, and powerful.
There was so much more there than just a story of a war torn Europe. The book is about delightful people who were full of love and compassion for all mankind. They were God loving and fearing.
They never thought they would be affected by the war, given that they lived in Holland. They learned so much about hate, but also about forgiveness. They had already learned so much about love. So many words of wisdom for all of us.

A book that should be read several times in a lifetime to remind us of the importance of gratitude.
My favorite part is when they thank God for the fleas...I have so much admiration for Corrie and Betsy. I feel like I ought to read it monthly to make me a better person.
