It is the true story of a Christian family in Holland during WWII. The ten Boom&#8217;s loved Jesus and His Word. When Hitler began persecuting and murdering the Jews, this courageous family started hiding Jews in their old store-front home. Eventually, they were caught, arrested, and sent to a concentration camp, where most of them died. Corrie survived the Holocaust and told the story in <em>The Hiding Place <\/em>(also made into a movie).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Baker Publishing owns the rights to the book and recently came out with <strong><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">a 35th Anniversary edition<\/span><\/strong>. Lighthouse Trails was excited to see a new edition and decided to carry the book for its readers. When the first order arrived, we were dismayed to see three endorsements on the back cover of this edition. Those names were Philip Yancey, Jack Hayford, and Joyce Meyer. Yancey and Hayford are promoters of contemplative spirituality. It is disheartening to see Baker Publishing connect these two men who promote an anti-biblical belief system with Corrie ten Boom, who stood for truth and was an inspiration to believers. If she was here today, we believe she would be shocked to see this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For us, we were not shocked because Baker Publishing has stopped standing for truth. Recently, they formed a publishing partnership with Emergent Village (the main representative website for the emerging church). The name of the new venture is Emersion, and a book called <em>An Emergent Manifesto of Hope <\/em>is one of its releases. You can read about that book in our article, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\/newsletters\/2007\/newsletter042607.htm#LETTER.BLOCK5\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">&#8220;Emergent Manifesto: Emerging church coming out of the closet&#8221;<\/span><\/strong><\/a> and also in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lighthousetrails.com\/faithundone.htm\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">Faith Undone<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the 35th Anniversary edition of <em>The Hiding Place<\/em>, Brother Andrew wrote the introduction. Andrew, also from Holland, is best known for his book <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20080513122820\/http:\/\/www.opendoorsuk.org\/about_history.php\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">God&#8217;s Smuggler<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/a>, which tells of his mission to smuggle Bible&#8217;s into restricted countries. We think if Brother Andrew realized the spiritual dangers of contemplative spirituality, he would protest to Baker Publishing about his and Corrie&#8217;s names being connected with Philip Yancey and Jack Hayford. Contemplative spirituality goes against everything that martyred and persecuted Christians have stood for, which was the Word of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We pray that Baker Publishing will remove these endorsements from <em>The Hiding Place<\/em>. After all, the book is a classic and does not need to be endorsed by anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For more information:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Info on Jack Hayford: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\/PressReleasemarhc252005.htm\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">Evangelical Leaders Promote New Age and <\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the movie and a different edition of <em>The Hiding Place<\/em>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lighthousetrails.com\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">click here<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\/yancey.htm\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">Information on Philip Yancey<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most Christians have heard of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":114,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[167],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3016","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-contemplative-denominations","wpcat-167-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Corrie ten Boom Would Be Shocked!
