Tramp for the Lord

by Corrie ten Boom

Overview

Continuing from her bestseller The Hiding Place, Corrie Ten Boom’s inspirational life story proves that miracles do happen.

In 1940, Corrie ten Boom was living with her father and sister above their watch shop in Haarlem when their country was invaded. Armed with the gift of their faith and their belief in doing what was right, this devoutly Christian family provided sanctuary for persecuted Jews. Before long, the Nazis captured Corrie and her family and sent them to a concentration camp, where Corrie lost both her sister and father.

But remarkably, throughout this turbulent time, from her near-destitute days in postwar New York to her heart-stopping adventures in Africa, Corrie sustained the faith in God that helped her become one of the most beloved evangelists of her time.

“Although the threads of my life have often seemed knotted, I know, by faith, that on the other side of the embroidery there is a crown. As I have walked the world—a tramp for the Lord—I have learned a few lessons in God’s great classroom.”

Editorial Reviews

Nadia May narrates TRAMP FOR THE LORD in a winsome and loving manner that would make Corrie ten Boom proud. This book is a sequel to the author’s biography, THE HIDING PLACE. May provides an introspective tone as she recounts the author’s life after a period spent in a concentration camp in Nazi Germany. May reads with inflection and sincerity, making evident the author’s passion for sharing the love of Christ. In the end, the work expresses the truth found in scripture that all things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose.
