The Five Silent Years of Corrie Ten Boom

In Spite of Everything . . . Jesus Is Always the Victor

De: Pamela Rosewell Moore

Narrado por: Judith Bareham

Pam Roswell Moore had her doubts when she interviewed to be companion of the much-loved author Corrie ten Boom. Corrie's best-selling book The Hiding Place, which recounted how she and her family had hidden Jews during World War II in Holland until their betrayal and arrest by the Nazis, had launched for Corrie a worldwide ministry of travel and speaking. Awed by the spiritual challenge this companionship posed, Pam wondered how she could keep up with the energetic 83-year-old.

But God knit a strong bond between the young Englishwoman and the remarkable Dutch evangelist. Then Corrie suffered a stroke. Hospitalization followed; physical therapy; then long, loving hours at home. Corrie regained a little mobility for a time - until the next strokes hit. She never regained her speech. But the ministry that had touched millions continued as Corrie communicated through her eyes, through elaborate guessing games with those around her, through silent intercession for people God brought to mind.

For those five silent years of imprisonment, Corrie's spiritual depth offered mute testimony to her ongoing trust in her heavenly Father. The details of these years will move all who loved Corrie ten Boom. They will encourage those involved with the elderly or handicapped - and those who are themselves bedridden - that God is at work mysteriously in and through even the most incapacitated. This book attests to the truth Corrie loved so dearly: that, in spite of everything else, Jesus is always Victor.

My husband and I enjoyed this book as we traveled.

My husband and I enjoyed listening to this on audible. We are driving to Denver.

Strength, endurance, long-suffering

This is a great encouragement for any one who has endured lengthy suffering. I have been encourage to keep fighting the good fight of faith and run my race, pushing those things behind, and pressing on the finish and win the prize. ❤️🙏🏻

Beautifully Told Story of Faith, Patience & Indurance

Wonderfully told story of the woman who was hired by Corrie to care for & assist her in her elderly years.

Tramp for the Lord is still my favorite

This would be good for anyone facing the role of caregiver or walking through end of life with their parents.
Also a must-read for fans of Corrie Ten Boom. Inspirational and upbeat for a lot of the book, but naturally sad toward the end.

I liked that the reader was British like the author, but a number of sentences felt like they were performed with the wrong words emphasized.

Excellent and inspiring

Highly recommend. I absolutely loved it. Corrie’s story is so inspiring. She served God in the way she lived her life and in how she left this life.

Brilliant on every level!

I have listened to many books on Audible, many moving stories, but this is the most brilliant reading: brilliant both as the story unfolds and one is drawn in and brilliant as the reader so effectively brings every moment, every voice, every nuance. I truly came to believe I was hearing Tante Corrie's voice as she was nearing "glory." I am overwhelmed with gratitude for Corrie and the ten Boom family, for Pam who was such a profound servant and author, and for the lively reading of this deey inspirational story.

Life changing

Beautiful story of a beautiful life lived for the Lord. It touched me deeply and will stay with me forever. Thank you for sharing it.

Emotional

This was a blessing. I had to wait a month before reading the last chapter. My heart. ♥️🥹

Thankful

I am so grateful for this book. Very timely, very humbling, and well written. This is a book I will listen to again and again for the pearls of wisdom it carries within.

Corrie’s commitment

She never gave up on her beliefs in the love coming from God and Jesus Christ! I loved the descriptions of beautiful things - so well-written!
