    The Hiding Place, an inspiring nonfiction novel written by Cornelia “Corrie” ten Boom with the help of John and Elizabeth Sherrill, describes Corrie’s personal experience as a prisoner during World War II. Over two million copies of The Hiding Place have been sold, and countless readers—myself included—have been inspired by this true story. This book tells of the trials and tests the God-fearing ten Boom family faced, and how they continued to do what they felt led by God to do despite their desperate situation. Much of the novel takes place in the early 1900s Haarlem, Holland. The story begins by painting the image of Corrie’s life before the Second World War with a number of flashbacks that are later proven to be relevant.…

    "It is better to die for what you believe in rather than to lie to save your life" is a topic that is widely debated. I believe that life is more important than anything else so if you do have to lie it is a small price to pay in order to save your life. People may think that lying is immoral and should never be done but a counter argument to this is that one’s life is so important that it would be almost impossible that lying to save your life could be immoral. Also, Christianity, Judaism and Islam say that, although lying is immoral, there are times when it can be justified such as saving a life. The statement that is written above is something people have to think about.…

    It is a rare occurrence when there is a situation in which we find ourselves given the choice to live or die. In fact, most of us will never be faced with this choice. I feel that if there was ever a situation in which dying would be the best choice for others, we would know it deep inside. There does indeed need to be a lot at stake in order for a sacrifice to be right. Life is not worth sacrificing if it does not accomplish something for the greater good of others or…

    The Hiding Place Analysis

    The second section of The Hiding Place paralleled some of the current issues developing in our world that are met with a deep sense of uncertainty and insecurity. What I just read reminded me of the present qualms stressed by many apprehensive people of varying races and beliefs, who are worried, hopeless and anxious regarding the election of our 45th president Donald Trump. Similarly, the Ten Booms and many other people were nervous and uncertain about the sudden invasion of Holland by stringent German forces. While many people cowered or hid, the Ten Booms developed a sense of security amidst a growing state of unrest by praying to the Lord and fully trusting Him to guide them. This is exhibited when Betsie tries to ease an alarmed Corrie after she dreams of her family being taken away from their home following the first bombings in Haarlem: “That’s why He sometimes shows us things, you know- to tell us that this too is in His hands.”…

    The two stories “Breaking through Uncertainty- welcoming adversity” and “Neighbours” are both stories about how big the benefits are when you take risks. The first short story is about how a skydiver must overcome his own uncertainty, to save himself from certain death. While the other story is still dramatic, just in a different tone; it's about a young woman, who has to decide whether or not a friendship is worth standing up for something that’s right. The protagonists in both stories, they have to take risks, and they’re both rewarded for taking those risks; on with his life, and the other with a stronger friendship. Even though the skydiver is risking his life, the protagonist in “Neighbours” had more gut to do what she had to do, where's…

    “Putting yourself first is not selfish. Thinking about yourself constantly is selfish”. Knowing what is best for yourself is a key to surviving, and your survival should be your first priority. Sacrifices will undoubtedly have to be made, but in a matter of life or death, afflictions are to be expected. Survival is not selfish because it is natural human instinct to survive, it is self preservation, and the reality of tough situations is not everyone will live.…

    Keynote speaker, Clint Smith speaks on the “Dangers of Silence” through the reflection of his own failures to tell the basic, everyday truth. When we hear the word danger, we typically think straight of the actions committed by others that are grave and deadly. Mr. Smith, a writer, and teacher brought an entirely new meaning to the meaning of silence. Clint states that the pure act of silence being recognized as serene causes more danger than any good. He teaches the audience that when we are dealing with controversial issues that demand action from the public, we divert ourselves to keep hushed and automatically become muted in order to avoid the issue at hand.…

    These people making the sacrifice could go and do something that they want to do, but they decide to do these things because they love and care for these other people. Any sacrifice that is made for another person is done because the people love and care for the other person that they are also sacrificing for. People also make sacrifice to show other that they care about others rather than them self’s. Some of these people are our military who are constantly laying their lives down for others to have freedom. This is just a few ways that people…
