Samenvatting:

Tramp for the Lord begins where Corrie ten Boom's all-time classic, The Hiding Place, ends. Join Corrie on a worldwide trip that could only have been planned by God. Take, for instance, one of Corrie's moving stories: “It was in a church in Munich that I saw him… One moment I saw the overcoat and the brown hat; the next, a blue uniform and a visored cap with its skull and crossbones. It came back with a rush: The place was Ravensbruck and the man who was making his way forward had been a guard—one of the most cruel guards. Now he was in front of me, hand thrust out. I was face to face with one of my captors and my blood seemed to freeze. ‘Fraulein, will you forgive me?’” Corrie ten Boom lived with her family in Holland for fifty years before the outbreak of World War II. Hiding Jewish refugees led to the family’s arrest and Corrie was imprisoned in a German concentration camp. Released after ten months, she tramped the world with “a burning desire to tell others that Jesus is a reality, that He lives, that He is Victor.”
