Tramp for the Lord

Absolutely fantastic book. I have the series and would buy them all again!

This was one of the best books I have ever read with one other being THE HIDING PLACE. TFTL picks up where the Hiding Place left off. After thinking on this book for a while now I really believe she was an Apostle, just like the early disciples only she did not start any churches but not all do. She was about 53 (guessing) when she got out of prison and she served the Lord fervently up till she was 91, she was just an amazing christian woman with stunning testimony. I was very impressed and thankful for this book, it is life changing because it is pure testimony, no theology. Corrie is very honest and transparent, she shares everything, even her failures so we can benefit.

I bought this book because I grew up hearing stories of Corrie ten Boom from my mother and her friends, and I wondered what all the fuss was about. Well now I know. I couldn't possibly describe the experience of reading this book, and what it did for me, except to say that it was so much more than just a good read. I would say that it changed my life. This book showed me that walking side-by-side with the Lord wasn't just for people in Bible times--it is meant for us today. Corrie wasn't perfect. This book isn't about being perfect. And it isn't even about giving all you can give to God. On the contrary, it's about taking all you can take. Her language is so simple, yet her message incredibly profound: there is an endless resource available to each and every one of us, and that resource is Jesus Christ. Whether you're going through the most difficult time of you life, or you simply want to be inspired--Tramp for the Lord is the book for you. I've read many of Corrie's books since this one, but "Tramp" is still my favorite. I own three copies, so I always have two to lend. Now I'm the one telling people "Corrie stories" the way my mother used to. They are stories the next generation needs to hear.

This is a beautiful collection of first-hand accounts of God's love and how He renews and restores. How Corrie followed the Lord as He led, fully surrendered to Him, and He used her to do His work. What the enemy meant for evil, the Lord used for good; using Corrie to touch many lives in profound and miraculous ways for His Glory. ♡ "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; 2 to proclaim the year of theLord's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; 3 to grant to those who mourn in Zion— to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord,that he may be glorified." Isaiah 61:1-3

Corrie is an amazing concentration camp survivor and excellent storyteller. Well worth the read for anyone interested in history or humanity.

This book is a sequel to "The Hiding Place" a biography about Corrie Ten Boom's experience during World War II, arrested and sent to a German concentration camp for hiding Jews. Corrie surrenders to God's Will for her life to take the Gospel and her story to the entire world. Because of her humbleness, she is able to connect to people from all walks of life, from royalty to prisoners. She was especially able to connect with prisoners who were hopeless because of her own experience of being locked up. It was easy for her to minister to the victims of WWII, but Corrie resisted going back to Germany, the land that she dreaded. But she obeys and goes to Germany where she meets one of her former prison guards, one of the cruelest, walking up to her after a meeting. A chill grips her heart and bitterness wells up when he asks for her forgiveness. Leaning on the power of the Holy Spirit, she was able to forgive her enemy and found God's love overflowing. Each chapter is a story and devotional about a situation Corrie encounters. My favorite one is, "I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go, Dear Lord... but Not Up Ten Flights of Stairs."

Purchased this book on the recommendation of a friend to read it. The book itself and the topic was very good and interesting. But the quality of the paper and print of the book was not very good and the print was not crisp. I typically read a book again a couple times, but if the print is like this I don't really want to read it. I would attach a picture but I already got rid of the book. I would not buy from this publisher again.

If you have read the Hiding Place this is a must read. I think it is even better, what a story and what an incredible woman.

Here Corrie tells us about the wonderfully varied experiences she had travelling the world announcing the good news that Jesus Christ proclaimed and so many witnessed. The book is down to earth, touching, humorous and inspirationally honest. Corrie has her struggles with holiness and forgiveness just like the rest of us, though her honesty and daily prayers help her overcome her obstacles. She is a modern day saint. This is a joy to read and should be read by people religious and atheist alike. This book is a master class in life's lessons.

After reading the Hiding Place I wanted to know how the Lord Jesus used Corrie to fulfil the purpose for which he had created her. This book is full of anecdotes of the same - each one providing a nourishment of faith to me. I believe God has a purpose for each one of us and my goal is to live the rest of my life, to fulfil that purpose.

C'est du vrai! Cette femme,Corrie ten Boom a été tellement nourrie de la Parole de Dieu, elle a tellement cru en Lui qu'il y eut véritablement des miracles dans sa vie! Le bouquin commence par le chapitre où elle redit la façon dont elle réussit à introduire la Bible au camp de Ravensbrück: c'est époustouflant! J'avais lu deux fois The Hidden Place mais ne sais plus où je l'ai rangé; c'est pourquoi je tenais à relire ce passage: elle y est drôle, en plus de l'aspect dramatique de l'événement. Elle a un humour renversant! Pour les autres chapitres, ce sont tant de rencontres ...toutes plus extraordinaires les unes que les autres, et pourtant elles se passent dans des lieux ordinaires, mais partout dans le monde.Dommage que ces livres ne soient pas traduits en français.

Corrie ten boom lebt so bewußt und intensiv mit unserem Herrn und Gott Jesus Christus, dass es eine Freude ist, Ihr Leben zu lesen, wunderbar. Inspirierend.

You HAVE to read it! Incredibly encouraging!
