The true story of Corrie ten Boom before The Hiding Place.
In these pages, Corrie ten Boom recounts the first part of her life, a span of fifty years that for many people constitutes an entire existence, but for Corrie was only a beginning.
The ten Boom home, the Beje, a stucco and brick watch shop in Haarlem, Holland, is the backdrop against which the diverse personalities of the unforgettable characters who shaped Corrie's life unfold. The wise father, the loving mother, the brother, the sisters, and then a series of 'adopted' ten Booms.
In My Father's House is much more than a collection of memories from Corrie ten Boom's picturesque life: it is an intimate fresco of the human side and unwavering faith of one of Jesus Christ's most enterprising and effective witnesses.
