About the Author

Corrie ten Boom, alongside co-author C. C. Carlson, is renowned for her poignant memoirs that illuminate the power of faith amid unimaginable adversity. Born in the Netherlands in 1892, Corrie grew up in a devout Christian family that instilled in her a profound sense of compassion and courage. During World War II, she and her family bravely hid Jews from Nazi persecution, leading to their arrest and internment in concentration camps, where her sister Betsie tragically perished. Miraculously surviving Ravensbrück, Corrie emerged as a global ambassador of forgiveness and hope, traveling the world to share her testimony. Her writings, including the prequel to her iconic story, offer intimate glimpses into her formative years and the unyielding faith that sustained her through darkness, inspiring generations to embrace resilience and divine grace.
