Guestbook
The story of the entire Ten Boom family continues to inspire countless people and
their families. My prayer is that when it comes time for me to make a stand for Christ that I
will do so no matter what the cost to me will be! To include my death if necessary!
Corry is an example. Learning to forgive and listen to the voice of the Lord. She
did.But the Lord did it in her.
I never grow tired of hearing this beautiful story of the Ten Boom's and Corrie's
desire to spread the Word of God and the importance of forgiveness. This is the first time that
I have visited this website and am very impressed with the virtual tour. What an amazing
footprint this leaves on behalf of the Ten Boom's and their ministry. God Bless !
Hi Corrie :o), I hope to meet you & chat with you about your
great heart one day, over there, on the other side. You have truly showed what it means to be a
prisoner of The Lord Jesus Christ.
As a young girl I was blessed to hear Sister Corrie speak in our home town. She left
me with a yearning to give fearlessly to God.
Thank you for this wonderful virtual tour. I remember going to the movie theater as a
young girl to watch the Hiding Place. Her story has impacted my life, what a beautiful woman of
God. Also, my parents had the chance to hear hear speak at Praise Gathering in Indianapolis,
Indiana in the late seventies. God Bless you and your ministry! Janeen
I had no idea the hiding place was just a small hole in the wall. Anne Frank was in a
palace by comparison. I will most likely never get to see this house, and want to thank you so
much for creating this virtual walk through. It is an awesome tour. Now I need to do it again
so I can hear the tour guide instead of being distracted by looking around the room. Shalom

I remember Ms.Ten Boom and she was remarkable she visited my church when I was 16.
1976 and I just praise God for her and her family and people to take on the things they did for
others I just recently found my book i had by her, and been looking anything I can about her
and her Family. Looking forward to getting other books. I did see the movie,god bless her
Legacy. Thank you Jesus.
Just finished the movie. What a deep and meaningful experience as people struggle to
find what is real today... I am inspired to always temper my feelings , even when I cannot
control my circumstances.
I read the hiding place years ago and was just thinking about the ten Booms.
I appreciate the opportunity to see the Corrie ten Boom Museum. I have read her books
since childhood and was inspired throughout my life by the writings of Corrie ten Boom. She has
strengthened my faith in God, and led me to study my Bible as a result of her shared faith in
God and the love of Jesus Christ.
I read the Hiding Place for the first time when I was in high school....I still have
the copy and have reread this book a thousand times....truly amazing what this woman and her
sister through....God Bless them both for showing the rest of the world that things aren't as
bad in our own life and that to see the brighter side of life...with the help of and faith in
God...I wish I could have talked to her....
I first found out about corrie and her family when my friend gave me a book of
corrie's to read, The Hiding Place and then I watched the movie of it. God does the most
amazing things, I think sometime we are so blessed to know god and it is people like corrie and
her family that show me we can do anything with gods help.
God bless God's chosen people.How wonderful to know God's promises still are for
today,if only we would claim them!
I love the Jewish people and will pray for peace!!!I also have a close Jewish friend
who inspires me every time she talks to me.God Bless.
I had the great privilage of meeting Corrie ten boom in the 1970's. Ihave also read
and been inspired by her story.
That was a beautiful. It is such a beautiful place. God's presence could be felt.
God bless those who sacrificed to save others. Laying down your life for fellow man
is a wonderful act of love.
I saw the movie the Hiding place and was so touched at the Ten Booms sisters faith in
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I too pray for the Peace of Jerusalem.
my favorite lines from BOOM... "God does not have problems. Only plans." "There
is no pit so deep that God is not deeper still."
Thank you for all your efforts to share Corrie's message. I did come at a time when
my heart was full of hate and anger towards a man who abused me physically and emotionally, and
even attempted to kill me. My life is so changed because of the things he did to me. I prayed
last night for help to deal with these feelings and be able to move forward and be happy, and
not express my hatred. And I was led to this beautiful website and museum, and mostly, the
message that I can forgive, and be happy. Thank you so much!
I pray that if this generation is called upon to be an Esther or a Corrie, we will do
so with the same brave faith they showed us. May the love Christians have for the Jews destroy
the hatred in this world for the Jews. I have always taught my children love is more powerful
than hate. Let us pray for the Jews as the Muslims plan the destruction of both the USA and
Israel. Let us pray for the salvation of all, even our enemies and prove we really do love
Christ. God Bless this work. The world needs reminders and repentance and revival. Shalom.
I pray and hope for peace of Jerusalem. May Israel be a light in world
again.
Im glad that I read about 'The Hiding Place'. It really effected the way I thought
about the Holocaust. At first I thought the Holocaust wasn't a big deal, but ever since I've
read about it in school, I want to learn more about what happened and see how people got
through the tough times. I'm glad that Corrie shared her story and taught us about how
important it is to be close to God and not give up on faith and hope.
Merci pour ses beaux t�moignages qui nous encourage chaque jour a faire du bien
autour de nous .Merci � CORRIE pour cette exemple de pers�v�rance dans la foi malgr� les
�preuves et les obstacles qu' elle a pu rencontr�e. Cela nous rappel notre mission pour
laquelle on n'a �t� envoyer celle de servir et d'aider ceux qui sont dans le besoin.Merci
encore puisse le Seigneur nous accorder son aide pour ses dernier temps .oleti atraqatr la

I read the book -The hiding place - and watched the movie. I enjoyed the virtual tour
of the Ten Boom home. What an amazingly inspiring story and family! I am looking forward to
meeting them in heaven one day. Corrie demonstrated simple childlike faith and the power of
forgiveness.
My son's 8th grade class just finished reading this book and a few moms read it along
with them as well. The children were all touched by the story. Towards the end of the book, we
read in the timeline that Miss tenBook actually retired here in Orange County and is currently
interred in a one of the local memorial parks - Fairhaven Memorial in Sta. Ana, CA. Our small
group visited her gravesite last weekend and paid our respects to honor this amazing lady.
Thank for maintaining this wonderful website to commemmorate the tenBoom family's faith and
heroism.
I watched the movie tonight. I can't recall any movie ever touching me in this way. I
pray for peace for Israel. Everyone should see this movie. It's very sobering to remind
yourself during the viewing that these are real events, real people, and the horror of what
Corrie and Bessie endured is simply overwhelming.
I was very blessed as a young girl to meet Corrie Ten Boom. Her love was so apparent
for all to see. I will never forget her and hope to some day be able to see the home.
No matter How bad things get, or how hard the way before you, listen to the still
small voice, and follow in faith, I promise you two things.. 1. No Matter
how dark, or long the way, keep praying, and moving forward, and God will be with
you, and .. 2. You have been prepared and blessed for the trials you will be
facing, and you have Gods Promise, you will not face ANYTHING greater, than you can bear, nor
will you EVER be alone, for God is with his people, all those who serve, and honor him, both
his covenanted people, and those who serve him throughout the world, wherever they are ~ he
knows them, and is with each one of them. Though we are heading through the
worst of all times, in all human history, have faith, and DON'T you EVER turn away from him,
hold on with all your strength and faith, the outcome, will be worth it, I promise you.
Father, I pray that this unfathomable faith given to your daughter Betsie Ten Boom be
now bestowed upon us those who call his name Jesus! Lord God, I thank you for the amazing grace
of faith that you have given the Ten Boom family..I am scared Lord as I write this, as I father
cannot comprehend such faith as I live here in a climate controlled world of comfort and only
minor interludes with a need for strong life giving faith in Christ! Lord God may Betsie reign
with you Lord, may her amazing grace shine upon and infect all those who hear her story...We
are scared Lord and we all need to know the amazing love and hope that can only come through
you from our love and relationship with your son Jesus Christ! AMEN
I read about Corrie Ten Booms. I feel like following her, sharing God's love with my
friends and those I humanly hate but will eventually humanly and godly love.
The testimonies of the ten Booms have greatly impacted my life, affecting every part.
I've quoted them on several continents and people are still touched by their submission to God
and dedication to serve whatever the cost. May we all learn and live as they did.
I pray and support Israel, it was only recently I learned about Corrie, since then I
have tried to read all I can about her even envolving my Grandchildren with the book, this is
so interesting, I wish the whole world could see. I would like to visit the museum but I know
that will never be possible. This tour will be all that I will be able to see, thank you. Yours
in Christ Jesus. Kay Davis
This is a beautiful tribute !
Nice to see how the love for the jewish people together with help from God can do
marvelous things. Love overcomes fear and God is LOVE!
I first saw The Hiding Place in a church I attended many years ago. I thank God for
Corrie ten Boom. Her wisdom is so vast and full of educated knowledge. Her wisdom is a vital
means of education and a great blessing.
Corrie's testimony as it relates to how she had faith even in those moments where
minute by minute trusting God was crucial at times for her immediate survival, really meant so
much to me in my life's journey.
Thank You. God Bless
As a young teenager I read her book, The Hiding Place. Throughout my life she came to
mind as I went through personal hard times; loss of my husband at 37 and 13 years later my
brain tumor diagnoses/surgery. Although, what I experienced is nothing in comparison, her faith
and testimony speaks loudly to the working of Christ in and through her. I wish I could have
met her and sat down to talk with her. What a blessing that would have been. Thank you for a
virtual tour that we are able see and to have a peek into her life. I pray for the peace of
Israel. It has become a burden on my heart. Blessings.
I visited the Ten Boom house in 1993 when I stayed in Haarlem for a week before
beginning a tour of Europe. The museum was staffed with volunteers and the English speaking
guide, an American, had come specifically to live in Haarlem and to volunteer at the house. It
was an amazing experience to actually walk through the Ten Boom shop and home, climb the stairs
and see the hiding place in Corrie's room. I have long been inspired by the
Corrie ten Boom ministry. I appreciate finding this site, going on the virtual tour, seeing
that the home and shop have been so beautifully restored and learning that Corrie's ministry
not only continues, but thrives.
I am forever gratefull for finding this website what a blessing. I am so honor for
taking the vertual tour. I hope that some day I will be able to visit the Ten Boom's home. I
was trully blessed.
I would like to hear the Greek recordings for this museum, I see they have not been
posted up yet.
My family "the Oukes" lived down the road from the Ten Booms. They lived in
a windmill and had a large garden. Through family history, I've learned that they were one of
the families that supplied the Ten Booms with produce from their farm. It's a great honor to
come from a family that helped such a wonderful woman.
We recently read this book and it effected the way we thought about the holocaust. WE LOVED THIS BOOK AND TOUR SO MUCH!
We have just spent the last three weeks learning about the Ten Boom family and how
their faith led them to help others. Such a moving story. God Bless x
I thank God for Corrie and her family. I read her book and it moved me. I love the
jewish people they are God's people. Love this site. Thank you
Thank God that there were those who stood as Light in the Dark. I hope and pray that
History does not repeat itself because then it would entail suffering of a nature that should
have been prevented previously. We must learn History!
May God bless Jerusalem Israel, the United States and Jewish and Christian people
world wide
May God bless the message of the Boom family. I love Jesus! He is my
Saviour.
