Carol Steam, Ill. (January 14, 2022) — “The Hiding Place: An Engaging Visual Journey,” releasing on March 8 from Tyndale House Publishers, is the newest release in the Visual Journey series. This new release offers Corrie ten Boom’s heart-wrenching story as a mixed-media special edition; complete with rare family photos, accents of Dutch Delft–style design, artwork by Dutch artists, and personal ephemera from the ten Boom family archives. Hand-lettered inspirational quotes and Scripture combined with artwork reminiscent of World War II Europe make The Hiding Place come alive like never before. In a new preface, coauthor Elizabeth Sherrill shares insights on Corrie’s life and legacy.
As the reader experiences and connects with this unique, artfully designed Visual Journey, its pages become a canvas to chronicle their own story, struggles, and personal triumphs. The Hiding Place is Corrie ten Boom’s story of faith, forgiveness, and love for the persecuted Jewish community during the World War II Nazi invasion and occupation of Holland. Part of an underground resistance movement, Corrie and her family risked their lives to hide Jewish friends within a secret wall space of the Beje, their beloved clock shop and home in Haarlem, Netherlands. Her heroic actions eventually led to her arrest and imprisonment at Ravensbruck, the German Reich’s largest concentration camp for women.
Tyndale’s Visual Journey series is all about classic works reimagined for new audiences and repeat readers. These books use illustrations and artistically rendered quotes to complement and enhance the story. The Visual Journey easy-to-read format appeals to visual readers, reluctant readers, and repeat readers who wish to experience these stories in a brand-new way. Books in this series feature unique and “gifty” packaging, telling classic stories with full-color images, original watercolor paintings, and hand-lettered Scripture and quotes. Larger fonts and generous breathing space within the typesetting allow for a more comfortable reading experience.
