Why does God
let bad things happen?
What is God’s purpose
for our lives?
The answers to these difficult questions are two of the most sought after by Christians today. And God’s people do not want pat answers, but soul-deep understanding that comes only from the example of real, human experience.
Christian reenactor Karla Chandler powerfully answers those questions through her compelling one-woman portrayals of author and WWII concentration camp survivor Corrie ten Boom (1892 - 1983).
The Hiding Place Presentation
A watchmaker’s daughter in Nazi-occupied Netherlands, “Corrie” tells the story of how she, her father, and sister helped an estimated eight hundred Jews and refugees hide from the Germans and escape. But a betrayal led the Gestapo to Corrie’s door. Ten days later her father was dead, and she and her sister were imprisoned at the notorious Ravensbrück concentration camp near Berlin.
After months of brutal treatment, her sister died at Ravensbrück.
Later Corrie miraculously escaped due to a clerical error.
In the years that followed, God led Corrie to discover that,
“Every experience God gives us, every person he puts in our lives, is the perfect preparation for the future that only he can see.”
—Corrie ten Boom
