Here is an intimate look at the human side of one of our generation's most authentic Christians; how her faith kept her going for years to prepare for the suffering and victories ahead. A testament to how God prepared one family through a father's faithfulness to his Savior and the Word of God for the most sacrificial service a family could do. Beginning in the years before Corrie was born, she tells the story of her father, who was a loving husband, determined to raise his children in the ways of the Lord. The book describes the extension of her father's devotion to God as Corrie herself becomes committed to the ministry of young people throughout her young adult life. All of this prepared her for her role in helping to save the lives of hundreds of Jews.
