“This is what the past is for! 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.

The Hiding Place was written by Corrie Ten Boom with the help of John and Elizabeth Sherill. It is about the life of Corrie herself. More than just being about Corrie’s life, it is about her family, their house, the people they helped, and (most importantly) the lessons God taught Corrie through these experiences. What were these lessons Corrie learned? What was God teaching her through the trials she endured? What can we learn from Corrie’s life? How can we apply these lessons to our own lives and for our future?

“A little knowledge of God is worth a lot more than a great deal of knowledge about God” (J.I. Packer, emphasis mine).

That title probably got your attention. To be honest, that was the point! But what am I going to be talking about in this blog post with a hook like that? Well…men who have died, yes; but they are men who lived for God consistently: A.W. Pink; G. Campbell Morgan; H. A. Ironside; Dr. John Phillips; Dr. J. Vernon McGee; Warren W. Wiersbe; William MacDonald.
