Following her release from the Ravensbrück concentration camp, Corrie ten Boom spent twenty years traveling as a global itinerant speaker. This memoir details her experiences ministering in post-war Germany, the Soviet Union, and various nations across Africa and Asia. She describes the practical logistics of living out of a suitcase while preaching a message of theological reconciliation and divine forgiveness. The narrative focuses on her encounters with former guards, her efforts to navigate bureaucratic hurdles in communist territories, and her reliance on prayer to secure basic needs like travel visas and physical health.
This book is intended for Christians seeking practical examples of practicing faith under duress and those interested in the historical landscape of mid-century global missions. Readers gain specific strategies for forgiving personal enemies and maintaining emotional stability during isolation. The text provides a template for applying biblical principles to modern geographic and political conflicts. Those who finish the book walk away with a clearer understanding of how to maintain a consistent religious identity while operating in culturally diverse and often hostile environments.
Inward-looking and clear-cut; an easy read.
