How her and her family hid people in their homes during the darkest days of World War II—until they were betrayed and arrested. Corrie writes about how her worst fear was being sent to a German concentration camp. As long as she was in prison in Holland she felt safe. Tramp for the Lord is a book of short vignettes of evangelist Corrie ten Boom’s life following hermrelease from the Nazi concentration camp at Ravensbrück, spanning almost forty years. The collection of anecdotes each has a spiritual lesson attached to it. The book is accessible and easy to read. It is most definitely rooted in the Evangelical tradition, something I admit to having moved away from in my own spiritual journey. I gave the book four stars because of its accessibility and it’s simple but profound messages. Mrs. ten Boom seems to have a depth of trust in divine provision way beyond my own, something which at times challenged me. Do I not trust God enough? If I ask for money or air tickets in order to do His work will he provide for me in the same way? You do not get because you do not ask? I sometimes feel that her faith was bordering on the common criticism of Evangelicalism that it can reduce God to a slot machine in a penny arcade that pays out on every pull of the handle. But maybe that’s my problem, something of my own cynicism. For in these pages I read of a woman who God had continued to inspire, even after the loss of her mother, sister and auntie and her own experience in a concentration camp, to carry on spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ throughout the World. She often put her own life at risk travelling to Communist and war torn African countries to speak to and inspire other Christians. No, in spite of my misgivings I came away feeling inspired and enlivened by what I’d read. Maybe I’m still an Evangelical at heart! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
