The Hiding Place

My wife and I finished The Hiding Place tonight. We have been reading it for the past few weeks. The story is about a family who helps hide Jews and others who are in danger of being taken by the Germans during World War 2, as a result they are captured and put into prison and eventually two of the sisters are put into concentration camps. I generally shy away from holocaust books because they are so depressing but my wife really wanted to read it and had read it previously. I am really glad we did. The book gave me different perspective on WW2 and on religion and the role it can play in our lives. I think that I probably take my religion for granted and seeing how much this family relied on God and on Christ for support was inspiring. Much of the time I do things because I am supposed to but for this family religion was a part of them, it wasn't about doing anymore because they had become. It was a great book and very inspiring we've decided to keep up the tradition of reading a book every night for a few minutes. I hope we can keep it up.
