I‘m at work today so I am only able to focus on that so I‘ll borrow my favorite title “Nichole & the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day”. I love my job but the public can wear me down if I‘m not prepared.

pickI just finished this book. It belongs to my grandma. She always talked about this women. This was a good book. I rated this book a 4 out of 5 stars.
pickThis is the memoir of Corrie Ten Boom, a Dutch Christian woman who hid Jews during World War II with the help of her family. The Nazis ultimately discovered what they were doing and sent them and their father to concentration camps. She was an amazing woman who survived and went on to devote her life to philanthropic work and Holocaust education after the war. She also forgave those who betrayed, imprisoned, and tormented her. Powerful story!

pickOur Pandemic Pages virtual book club read this recently and we all felt a little floored that we hadn‘t read it until now. Such a powerful story of strength and faith during even the hardest of trials. The bravery of Corrie and her family is astounding but the wisdom shared about trusting in God despite what we face is what will stick with me.
Catching up after getting back from vacation this week. So many great books last month!
pickI can‘t overstate the power of this book. It‘s the true story of a woman who hid Jews in her Holland home during WWII. Despite the danger that meant for her family, she defied the Nazi rulers & stood for what was right. Her unbelievable bravery in the midst of persecution was so humbling. I couldn‘t put it down. I loved how honest she was about her moments of doubt and frustration. I was blown away by the risks she was willing to take for others.
