{Aside from|Apart from|Except for|Other than} the Word of God, nothing {inspires|conjures up|evokes} me {more than|greater than} {reading|studying} biographies/autobiographies of {men|males} and {woman|girl|lady} {who have|who've} {truly|actually|really} lived out their {faith|religion}. {Some of these|A few of these} figures are {known|identified|recognized} {for their|for his or her} missionary {activities|actions}, others for the persecution they endured, {while|whereas} {still|nonetheless} others {simply|merely} lived 'quiet' lives that {daily|day by day|each day|every day} demonstrated their profound {faith|religion}. These {men and women|women and men} {were not|weren't} {great|nice} in and of themselves, {but|however} as {you will|you'll} {discover|uncover}, they {were|had been|have been} {great|nice} {because|as a result of} they allowed God to work in and {through|by|by means of|by way of|via} them.

The story follows her stand, her heroic journey and plea to the Japanese officials, her preparations for prison (extraordinary!) and her {resulting|ensuing} years in prison and the miracles she witnessed. {I know|I do know} I {would not|wouldn't} have {prepared|ready} {the way|the best way|the way in which} Esther did if I had been in her {situation|scenario|state of affairs}, {but|however} I hope her story will {help|assist} me {think|assume|suppose} {differently|in a different way|in another way|otherwise} in future. {I know|I do know} God {sure|certain|positive} blessed her for the stand and path she took! {This is|That is} one {incredible|unbelievable|unimaginable} story! This {book|e book|e-book|ebook|guide} follows the life of Rees Howells from an unknown schoolboy to a man of God who helped {effect|impact} world {events|occasions} {during|throughout} World War II {through|by|by means of|by way of|via} {the power|the ability|the facility} of intercessory prayer. The detailed examples of how Rees {followed|adopted} the spirit's promptings over the world's "expectations" is {powerful|highly effective} and life {changing|altering}.

{As the|Because the} story continues we {follow|comply with|observe} Betsy and Corrie抯 eventual time {in the|within the} {concentration|focus} camps and {learn|be taught|study} of how God used them {in the|within the} midst of such darkness. I pray I {may|could|might} endure with even a tenth of the love and forgiveness these {women|girls|ladies} {showed|confirmed} {were|had been|have been} I to face {similar|comparable|related} circumstances. Thankfully we serve {the same|the identical} God {who is|who's} {more than|greater than} {capable of|able to} working {through|by|by means of|by way of|via} human hearts! {If you|For those who|If you happen to|In case you|In the event you|Should you|When you} {found|discovered} the Hiding Place inspiring, you {will definitely|will certainly} {want to|need to|wish to} {read|learn} this {follow|comply with|observe} up {book|e book|e-book|ebook|guide} by Corrie Ten Boom! Unlike the Hiding Place, this {book|e book|e-book|ebook|guide} picks up after WWII and chronicles her travels {around the world|all over the world|around the globe|world wide} {and how|and the way} God continued to work in her life.

Corrie {is truly|is actually|is really} an inspiration, {one that|one which} has {changed|modified} my life!
George Mueller was a man given to prayer who cared for {thousands|1000's|hundreds} of orphaned {children|kids|youngsters} in Britain. With {faith|religion} like a mustard seed, George made his {financial|monetary} {needs|wants} {known|identified|recognized} {only|solely} unto God and this {book|e book|e-book|ebook|guide} recounts how God {provided|offered|supplied} for not {just|simply} he and his {family|household} {but the|however the} {countless|numerous} orphans in his care. This {book|e book|e-book|ebook|guide} has challenged me to {trust|belief} God for {my own|my very own} {financial|monetary} {resources|assets|sources} and {even though|although|despite the fact that|regardless that|though} {I have|I've} {a long|a protracted|an extended} {way to|approach to|method to|option to|solution to|strategy to|technique to} go, Mueller抯 {example|instance} helps me press on as I pray {it will|it can|it is going to|it should|it would|it'll|it's going to} you. From cricketer to missionary pioneer, CT Studd lived his life for others {and changed|and adjusted|and altered} the world. This {book|e book|e-book|ebook|guide} poignantly {details|particulars} the transformation of his {heart|coronary heart} and the {direction|course|path|route} his course in life would take {as a result|because of this|consequently|in consequence}. It has {also|additionally} taught me that {sometimes|generally|typically} God {uses|makes use of} one path in our lives to open the door {to another|to a different}. Studd抯 story has helped me {to hold|to carry} earthly 搇oves?({such as|akin to|comparable to|corresponding to|equivalent to|reminiscent of|resembling|similar to} a sport) {more|extra} loosely and the {things|issues} of Christ抯 kingdom {more|extra} tightly. {This is|That is} the inspiring story of Jim Elliot and {team|crew|group|staff|workforce} who sacrificed {their own|their very own} lives, {literally|actually}, to {bring|carry|convey|deliver} the gospel to the unreached.
Their story initially echoed {around the world|all over the world|around the globe|world wide}, later influenced a {feature|characteristic|function} {movie|film} and {today|as we speak|at present|at the moment|at this time|immediately|in the present day|right now|right this moment} continues to {touch|contact} the lives of {countless|numerous} {people|folks|individuals} worldwide, {including|together with} the {relatives|family|family members|kin|kinfolk|relations} of {those|these} the {men|males} first went {to reach|to achieve|to succeed in}. Their story is most {definitely|positively|undoubtedly} a life changer as you {read|learn} of the {events|occasions} and {emotions|feelings} that led {up to|as much as} that "fateful day". {If you have|If in case you have|In case you have|When you have|When you've got|You probably have} {read|learn} of Jim Elliot's sacrifice in "Through the Gates of Splendor" {you will want to|it would be best to|you'll want to} {read|learn} this detailed portrait of who this man of God was {leading|main} {up to|as much as} {those|these} {more|extra} {well known|well-known} {events|occasions}. Jim抯 {wife|spouse} does an {incredible|unbelievable|unimaginable} job of detailing his {personal|private} life, his {inner|inside|interior|internal} struggles and {faith|religion} in God - even {including|together with} journal entries and {specific|particular} conversations. This {book|e book|e-book|ebook|guide} lets {you really|you actually} get into his head and {heart|coronary heart} to know the man who made {the ultimate|the final word|the last word} sacrifice. He took a stand for God {against|in opposition to|towards} the communist rulers of his day and paid for it with prison time and torture. Yet, to this man, {all the|all of the} hardships {were|had been|have been} {simply|merely} {another|one other} {tool|device|instrument|software} for sharing God's {great|nice} love with others. This was {the first|the primary} Christian biography I ever {read|learn} which {is perhaps|is maybe|is probably} why it {is still|continues to be|remains to be} {one of|certainly one of|considered one of|one among|one in all|one in every of} my favorites.
