Father ten Boom, God's Man

A Riveting Biography

Father Ten Boom: God's Man by Corrie ten Boom is a riveting biography of Corrie's beloved father--Casper ten Boom. In it, eighty-five year old Corrie shares intimate stories of her father from the last time she saw him as they were imprisoned by the Gestapo to all the memorable times she shared with him at the Beje.

The first words of Corrie's book is a verse from Deuteronomy 32:7 in which Moses wrote, "Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee."

Corrie begins by telling how Peter Casper's grandson had found an old chest full of letters and books from her great-grandfather, her grandfather, and her parents. Of this past history she declares, "When we dig up gold of the past, it must be beaten unto useful coins for today. Past, present, and future belong together. … Our outlook goes beyond this world, and we are in training for eternity."
