A story of determined resistance, hope, and faith in the midst of unmitigated horror, Things We Couldn't Say follows the life of Diet Eman from her youth through her work in the Dutch Resistance, to her imprisonment, and finally through the death of her fiancie in a German concentration camp. Sustained by her faith, she writes with a poignant understanding of God's sovereignty and goodness in all. 347 pages, softcover.

This is the true story of Diet Eman, a young Christian woman who joined the resistance movement in the Netherlands during WWII. Together with her fiance' and other Dutch men and women, "Group Hein" risked their lives to save the lives of Jews who were in danger of becoming victims of Hitler's "final solution." Things We Couldn't Say is an endearing and moving love story that occurs in the midst of extreme danger and often unbearable circumstances and loss. Before the war ends, Eman, her fiance', and several in their group are arrested and sent to concentration camps - many of them lose their own lives. This story will help us remember a time in history that should not be forgotten and will inspire us to live more courageously and stand for what is right, doing so by the power and grace of God. Things We Couldn't say is a beautiful illustration of II Corinthians 12: 9, which states: "And he the Lord] said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
