In My Father’s House

Description

Corrie ten Boom shares the earlier part of her life before THE HIDING PLACE.

The ten Boom home was a narrow, three-story stucco and brick watchshop in Haarlem, Holland, called the Beje. Although her family never enjoyed material wealth, there were other riches. Life was shared with an ever-changing entourage of ‘adopted’ ten Booms: unwanted foster children, displaced refugees, hunted Jews – the Beje was a home where even the least of God’s children found a warm welcome. Here Corrie was born in 1892, and we are introduced to some of the unforgettable characters who shaped her life: Casper, her father…Mama…Betsie…Tante Anna, who came for six weeks and stayed for forty years…and Jesus, who was as much a member of the ten Boom Family as anyone.
