I recently finished reading Corrie Ten Boom Heroine of Haarlem by Sam Wellman to the kids. This was a great book. There was just a few things they put in the story near the beginning that I considered unnecessary and inappropriate but once past those . . . what a story! I was impressed with the parenting of the Ten Boom seniors who raised Corrie and her siblings with such a strong faith and strong love for others! Corrie's sister Betsie was just a rock of faith.
This book also brought up Christian ethics questions. Gabriel called different relatives about
"What do you think about lying during time of war?" He got mixed answers and good things to think about. Within the Ten Boom family there was disagreement as to if lying to the Nazis was correct or not.
The Ten Boom's whole hearted dependance on God and His Word was moving. The kids will eventually read The Hiding Place. I don't have it in our library yet.
