Relation Toward Books Tramp for the Lord
For the past twenty years Corrie ten Boom has crisscrossed the globe, slept in more than a thousand different beds, and lived out of suitcases...all to fulfill her God-given mission to tell people everywhere that Jesus Christ is reality, that He Lives, that He is Victor.This remarkable woman of eighty-one years served time in a German concentration camp during World War II for the "crime" of hiding persecuted Jews and survived to tell the story in her best selling book, The Hiding Place. Her brush with death lent a new meaning to her life. In her own words: "My life had been given back as a gift...for a purpose."
After her release from the concentration camp, Corrie ten Boom set out to become what she calls a "tramp for the Lord," traveling around the world at the direction of God, proclaiming His message everywhere. And through her lifelong experiences, she has learned a few lessons in God's great classroom which she shares with the readers of Tramp For the Lord.
So deeply has she touched the hearts of men and women during her years of ministry that she is known as the venerable "Double-old Grandmother" and "Tante" Corrie to them. And she , in turn, has been touched and taught by them.
Let her introduce you to...
-her former prison guard who asks her for forgiveness...a forgiveness that come hard and with much pain...
-the war-crippled lawyer with a soul that was as twisted and deformed as his limbs...
-an African who truly followed Christ's exhortation to forgive your neighbor seventy times seven (Matt. 18:22)...
-the travel agent who learned that her ultimate destination could not be found on any map...
-a missionary mother whose unwanted babe ended up saving her life...
All these touchingly human vignettes from her life and travels are intertwined with the unique teaching trouch that has sustained Corrie throughout her days.

An encouraging read from Tante Corrie as she calls herself. I love her childlike faith and attitude about sharing Jesus with the world. She is honest about her downfalls and faithfully surrenders them to the Lord. Love her stories, as they are a continual testament to how faithful, kind, and personal our God is.Corrie Ten Boom's Hiding Place is a personal classic of mine. I've read it so many times since I was a young girl and leant on many of her spiritual insights and powerful testimony. It took me far too long to getting around to reading her follow up book Tramp for the Lord. I absolutely loved it. It also came at a great time in my life. Many of her spiritual insights, powerful lessons, and her candor on her own weakness where extremely helpful to me.Here are some quotes I enjoyed."He means it
It's an inspirational, touching story. The book as well as its title are truly captivating. The story remained with me long after I'd read it.She's such a great woman of faith.
What an encouraging woman! To think that in 1970 she came to my town to speak. Would that I were I alive to hear her! This book is a must read for long time and new Christians alike. Corrie never beats people over the head, she gently comes along side to teach the Lord's lessons. A few chapters towards the end really struck home and I felt as though she were talking directly to me. It is also refreshing the way she deals with her own sin, in that she doesn't sugar coat her life to make it seem
This was definitely not as good as The Hiding Place! I was a little disappointed... What threw me off the most was Corrie ten Boom's preaching in churches which I do not agree with at all. Also, there were several mentions to casting out demons, and one time at a church Corrie ten Boom was "told" by God to cast out the demons in the congregetation. Several times she lays hands on people and they are healed. Both raised a few concerns in my mind and leans toward charismatic beliefs.There were
This is another book by Corrie ten Boom that I couldn't put down. It is a sequel to The Hiding place and describes her life after her release from Ravensbruck concentration camp. We follow Corrie as she travels back to her hometown of Haarlem, Netherlands, starting her new life as a messenger of God, helping victims of darkness find the light through her experiences, words of Truth and inspiration and forgiveness. One of the more powerful scenes in the book was when Corrie was confronted by a
If youve read The Hiding Place, this is a MustRead. If you havent, then its still a must read! This sequel begins where The Hiding Place left off. Corrie tells story after story of Gods faithfulness and shares the work He does IN her and through her, as she goes where shes sent- all over the world. This book encouraged my heart so much, to hear about how the Lord used an imperfect Corrie all the way til the end of her life and can use even someone like me. PRAISE HIMMy friend had learned well
