The Lord has no problems. He has plans! That's why there is never panic in heaven. And on earth we are called to a living hope.

Corrie ten Boom

Die niederländische Schriftstellerin und Evangelistin Corrie ten Boom rettete während des Zweiten Weltkriegs in Haarlem verfolgte Menschen vor dem Holocaust und überlebte die Gefangenschaft im Konzentrationslager Ravensbrück. Bekannt wurde sie durch ihren autobiografischen Bericht „Die Zuflucht“ sowie durch ihren weltweiten Dienst, in dem sie Vergebung und Vertrauen auf Gott auch angesichts extremen Leids betonte. Für Bibelleser steht ihr Leben für eine praktisch gelebte Nächstenliebe unter Lebensgefahr und die Herausforderung radikaler Vergebungsbereitschaft.
