The Hiding Place (Radio Theatre)

Excellent quality. Powerful story.

I loved listening to this CD while driving to see my Mother in law at a day center. It was real inspirational.

Love this sort of thing. My kids loved it. Wish they’d make more.

I have listened to several of Focus on the Family's radio dramatizations, and every one of them is excellent. They use top notch voice actors, sound effects and music. But of them all, The Hiding Place is the best I have heard so far, because besides being all of the above it is also a powerful, real life story. This is a story about courage in the face of evil, and I felt truly convicted at my own self-centeredness and selfishness compared to Betsie Ten Boom's selfless attitude of generosity, forgiveness and love. At one point the story had me literally in tears. There were times when the story was a bit confusing -- there were sequences that seemed disconnected from what was happening and seemed to be either nightmares or flashbacks (since I haven't yet read the original book I'm not sure what these sequences were supposed to be). Even so, this is an incredibly good story. I highly recommend this story for listeners of all ages. It is suitable even for young children (although parents may have to do a little explaining to give context to the story). No matter what our age, we can benefit from hearing the lives of the Ten Booms and the true spirit of Christian love, forgiveness, and generosity that they exemplified by their courageous acts.

"The Hiding Place," by Corie Ten Boom, is the true account of a courageous family who risked their very lives hiding Jews and others in need during the Nazi occupation. Corie was a spinster who, along with her sister, Betsy, found herself swept up in a struggle against evil as she worked with many other faithful individuals to preserve lives. Not only does this true story recount daring undercover operations and secret rooms, it also illustrates how even a pot of coffee, cream puffs, and a kind prayer can make a difference. Even if sacrifices must be made, God uses Satan's schemes against him, and courageous warriors who rely upon Christ's strength can vanquish the foe. Focus On the Family has dramatized this compelling story in a vibrant and unforgettable fashion. All the actors/actresses do exceptional jobs, particularly the actor portraying Corie's wise, devout father. I'd definitely recommend this magnificent drama to anyone who loves listening to true accounts of God's sovereignty and divine protection: "For I am convinced that neither heights nor depths, neither angels or demons, ... nor anything can separate us from the love of Christ" (Romans 8), "The Lord is my fortress and my Rock, a very present help in times of trouble" (Psalms 46). Please give this unforgettable drama a chance. God bless you.

One of the best Radio Theatre stories I have listened to . As a History teacher, I love the fact that this brings the events alive in a way that is riveting for both pre teens and adults. Great product!

I love everything made by FOTF radio theater.

I own 5 of the Focus on the Family Radio Theatre Audio Books and my family and I all love every single one of them. They are exquisite pieces of art in themselves with all the background sounds and effects but most of all, the performer's quality is the thing that grips you and does not let go. I would dare say that these series top any movies that have been made on the same stories. Especially for those who share the same Christian faith, the words that Casper Ten'Boom, Betsy Ten'Boom utter will draw out a deep AMEN, or even tears and will give you practical inspirations and guidance to live our daily lives.

Excellent condition, prompt delivery

Not listened to this yet but in sealed pack and cds look fine. No encountered problems yet. Seems to be exactly as described.

Fantastic dramatisation and good narrative. Well worth reading this amazing true life story
