The True story of Corrie ten Boom and her incredible family's faith in God against all evil. Have plenty of Kleenex handy.
Bob Barney: This is probably the most remarkable story of faith in the face of evil that I have ever known in the twentieth century. This family not only lived by their faith, but they also died by their faith. There was one exception though in the Ten Boom family... for one incredible sister. God spared Corrie so that He could bring her story of Jesus to the world. Whenever I start thinking I am a good Christian, I think of Corrie, and am ashamed.
Cornelia Arnolda Johanna "Corrie" ten Boom happened to have been born and died on her birthday 91 years later on 15 April 1892 – 15 April 1983. Corrie was a Dutch watchmaker and later a Christian writer and public speaker, who worked with her father, Casper ten Boom, her sister Betsie ten Boom and other family members to help many Jewish people escape from the Nazis during the Holocaust in World War II by hiding them in her home. They were caught, and she was arrested and sent to the Ravensbrück concentration camp. Her most famous book, The Hiding Place, which is here in full length is a biography that recounts the story of her family's efforts and how she found and shared hope in God while she was imprisoned at the concentration camp.
Her father was a watchmaker. Corrie trained to be a watchmaker herself, and in 1922, she became the first woman to be licensed as a watchmaker in the Netherlands.
Corrie ten Boom returned to the Netherlands after the war and set up a rehabilitation center for concentration camp survivors. In the Christian spirit to which she was so devoted, she also took in those who had cooperated with the Germans during the occupation. In 1946, she began a worldwide ministry that took her to more than 60 countries. She received many tributes, including being knighted by the queen of the Netherlands. In 1971, she wrote a best-selling book of her experiences during World War II, entitled The Hiding Place. In 1975, the book was made into a movie starring Jeannette Clift as Corrie and Julie Harris as her sister Betsie.
Death
In 1977, at age 85, Corrie ten Boom moved to Placentia, California. The next year, she suffered a series of strokes that left her paralyzed and unable to speak. She died on her 91st birthday, April 15, 1983. Her passing on this date evokes the Jewish traditional belief that states that only specially blessed people are granted the privilege of dying on the date they were born.
Former President Donald Trump is joined by actor Jon Voight to reflect on the historic signing of the Abraham Accords, moving towards peace in the Middle East and more.
Jon Voight in Israel: 'When nations appreciate the Jews, there will be peace on earth'
Actor Jon Voight speaks with Hebron Spokesman Yishai Fleisher about his film project in Israel and about the Abraham Accords.
(7Israel News) Actor Jon Voight visited Hebron and met international spokesman for Hebron Yishai Fleisher. Fleisher and Voight spoke about the film project in Israel and the Abrahamic vision for global peace.
Voight sounded a positive note about the current prospects for the future of global harmony.
“We're calling it the ‘Land of Israel: God's Story", Voight said about his latest film, "and it is God’s story so what we want to do is we want to trace the beginnings of it and come here and show of people the places where these events happened and get an insight into the personalities of the patriarchs and all of the chosen people that have brought us to this time".
“The Abraham Accords was a big jump, and no one saw that coming and I think we're on our way, and that's what we're doing here,” Voight said.
In a move that seems a stretch even for a leftist corporation that openly promotes LGBT agenda points and links itself to the body mutilations of young children through transgender ideology, this new "cartoon" from Disney features a little girl "Antichrist."
"There's no more putting this off. You dad is the devil and you're the Antichrist," the cartoon mom tells her daughter, about 13.
The "adult" programming is called "Little Demon" and one of the actors who provide voicing expressed approval that it normalizes "paganism." Mom that drops a "your dad, the devil" bombshell on the little girl, to which she responds in kind. The online promotion of the video from Disney says, "From the co-creator of Rick and Morty comes the new animated comedy, FX's Little Demon." "The series features demonic witchcraft, pagan rituals, gratuitous blood, gore and nudity, and judging by the trailer (included here, but not recommended) can easily be considered pornographic by definition." It asks people to subscribe to support the venture financially.
And it recites, "It has been 13 years since being impregnated by Satan, and a reluctant mother, Laura, and her Antichrist daughter, Chrissy, attempt to live an ordinary life in Delaware.
The 1949 Roadmaster Convertible, which was acquired by US actor Hoffman after the film wrapped, has an estimated value of between $160,000 and $250,000. Hoffman said the vehicle, described as the film's 'third character' had 'been in storage too long' and should be 'driven, enjoyed, and cherished'. Rain Man follows the cross-country life-changing road trip made by selfish wheeler-dealer Charlie Babbitt (Cruise) and his autistic brother Raymond (Hoffman). The film won several academy awards including best film, best director for Barry Levinson, and best actor for Hoffman.
Whodunit? A final mystery surrounding the work of film legend Alfred Hitchcock – what triggered the crazed bird flocks that helped inspire his 1963 thriller The Birds – appears solved by scientists.
Dying and disoriented seabirds rammed themselves into homes across California's Monterey Bay in the summer of 1961, sparking a long-standing mystery about the cause among marine biologists. The avian incidents sparked local visitor Hitchcock's interest, along with a story about spooky bird behavior by British writer Daphne du Maurier.
In 1993 Brian Reilly, a self-professed "Ford nut" wanted to purchase a convertible. After an extended search, he found a diamond blue, 1968 Ford Fairlane in Seattle.
Little did he know, he had just stumbled upon a unique piece of television history.
Being an avid fan of Ford Fairlanes, Reilly noticed a few things about the car that seemed "somewhat unusual," including its large, 390 GT engine, which Reilly says that model didn't usually have.
