The Life of Corrie ten Boom Inspires Young Readers to Love Their Neighbors and Forgive Those Who Persecute Them

Corrie ten Boom was a watchmaker, prisoner, and World War II hero who helped hundreds of Jews escape persecution amid the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. Despite her bravery, the risks she was willing to take ultimately led to her capture and imprisonment. After her release, Corrie was again met face-to-face with the prison guard who caused so much pain. Her life story begs the question, Is it possible to forgive the unforgivable?  

This short and lively biography takes middle-grade readers on an exciting journey through ten Boom’s life, highlighting her upbringing, her family’s covert operations, and her most remarkable achievement of all—forgiving those who persecuted her. Ten Boom’s story acts as a witness to the world, demonstrating the power of mercy and the value of spreading the message of God’s love, regardless of one’s present situation. Featuring illustrations, maps, timelines, bonus sidebars, and study questions, this addition to the Lives of Faith and Grace series engages kids ages 8–13 in the drama of history, showing how God worked in the past through ordinary people like them.
