One thing about Corrie's story though, that is different from most is that redemptive thread. Despite the tragedy there was hope. It's like the difference between Christian and secular novels.

Corrie had one of those faith trees in her life, it had long ago grown from a seed.

Thank you for the reminder of something I don't often think about--that Corrie Ten Boom prayed for me when I was a little girl. I've always believed that prayers are what protected me in a very dark time in my life, when I left God behind.

How cool that we can now jump on youtube and see famous saints.<br /><br />This really made me think of the refiners fire. When we face hard times it reveals what is deep inside of us.
