As I mentioned in my last post, we saw "The Hiding Place" when we were in Chicago. It was the theater version of the book that was written over 35 years ago. The book, about Corrie Ten Boom, was written by my great-aunt and uncle (check out this link). Corrie Ten Boom and her family hid Jews in their home during WWII until they were captured and sent to concentration camps. Corrie survived and lived to tell her story about faith, perseverance, and love. My dad met Corrie when he was in college, and that's when he knew he wanted to name his first daughter after her. Ta Da...that's me!
The book has always been very special to our family. It was turned into a movie several years ago, but the stage performance was something new. We had a terrific evening with our friends, Sara and Don, in Chicago, and seeing the play was one of the highlights of our getaway weekend. If you've never heard of the book, you should check it out sometime.
