As a secondary school history teacher, we teach perspectives. This is one perspective rarely written or spoken about: a German Christian wife and mother. This is an incredible story of one family's choice to trust in and obey the God of the Bible at great cost. Undergirded by a mother's powerful prayers, theirs is a heart-stopping story of God's power and glory. The mother was expectant with the author when Hitler started to recruit women for the desperate war effort.... I order heaps of this book because other than "The Hiding Place" by Corrie ten Boom, no other faith story comes close. The response to this book has been unanimously good by the people I have loaned or given a copy of this book to.

There are very few stories about German people with strong Christian faith. I could not put this book down and read it in one sitting. This is an excellent, excellent book.
