Book Review: by Lori Baldwin
Anita
Dittman's story is a vivid testimony to the sovereignty and faithfulness
of Christ in the life of a little German-Jewish girl who finds
in her Savior both courage and strength to meet each day in the
midst of painful persecution and the terror of war.
As
Anita grows up, abandoned by her father and rejected by her non-Jewish
teachers and schoolmates, her spirit grows more lovely with each
passing year as she learns that Jesus will never leave her nor
forsake her. This story is not gloomy or depressing in any way.
It is full of faith, hope, and glorious glimpses of the power
and the love of God. I could hardly put it down.
There
is a compelling immediacy to Miss Dittman's story. I felt almost
as if I knew her. My faith in the Lord has been challenged and
renewed as I've followed her through her trials and triumphs in
the pages of this book. There is a warning here also, with a striking
parallel to the present. Just as many of the churches in Nazi
Germany fell quickly to the seductive message of the Third Reich,
so many of our churches of today are falling quickly for the seductions
of the Emergent Church's apostate theology and the allure of occult
eastern mysticism through so-called "christian" contemplative
spirituality.
As
many have described Hitler as a "type" of Anti-christ, so the
apostate German church may be said to pre-figure the apostate
worldwide "christian" church which the Bible warns will arise
in the last days. Is that what we are seeing unfold? If you want
to be uplifted, forewarned, and encouraged during these "perilous
times," read Trapped In Hitler's Hell.
I'd
like to thank Miss Dittman for writing this book. I will never
be quite the same.
