The book is very well written. Easy to understand and once you've read it you can start realizing your potential and how to get started, and suceed. I have meet and listened to Skip as a speaker on this and other topics, this book is a classic!

As a former camper at Skip Ross' youth camps, I initially read this book 20 years ago and have re-read many times since. It continues to be, in my humble opinion, the greatest guide in acheiving success and healthy self esteem. This book is perfect for anyone at any age who wants to learn to reach their full potential.

I have gone from someone who was a very shy person and is living a life more creative and dynamic and happily too.

She writes with the love and forgiveness that became her trademark after suffering terrible things at the hands of the Nazi's during WWII. I never cease to be encouraged, uplifted, and inspired when reading anything that she writes-this book included. Very few could have forgiven their tormentors the way that Tante Corrie did. She did it by the grace of God and her life was all the better for it.

As someone who voraciously gobbles up the writings of Corrie ten Boom, I have to say that _In My Father's House_ is my favorite. Anyone who has read _The Hiding Place_ , _Tramp for the Lord_, _A Prison and Yet_, or other books relating to Corrie's Nazi concentration camp imprisonment and her resulting ministry should do themselves a favor and savor _In My Father's House_. I am so glad this book is back in print and can now reach a new audience. Corrie discusses how the twists and turns of her childhood, teen years, and pre-imprisonment adulthood all came together to prepare her for her WWII and postwar ministry. She shows the evidence of God moving in her life to prepare her for her upcoming adventures. If you don't think so already, _In My Father's House_ may be what convinces you that there's no such thing as coincidence. The simply written, very basic family story of this book holds some deep implications. It may startle you in a pleasant way.

I particularly recommend this book to parents, especially parents of young children. This book will show how God uses you to raise your child to fulfill God's purpose for his/her life. Corrie writes in a very touching way of how her parents, siblings, and extended family were so responsible for the extraordinary woman she became. This book is a beautiful testimony of how God uses families. It will inspire you to go pick up and cuddle your child while praying fervently. It will also remind you of your need to lean on God and rely on his guidance for this your most important job. _In My Father's House_ is a very powerful book.

I recommend that you buy a copy of this book rather than borrowing it or checking it out from the library. As your glance flits across your bookshelves, perhaps a slight smile will come to your face as you notice the familiar spine peeking out at you. I return to my copy frequently and have repeatedly drawn from it for Sunday School lessons and devotional topics. _In My Father's House_ would be a valuable addition to your book collection.

This book is simple and to the point and beautifully written. It gives the reader the insight of how human Corrie Ten Boom was and yet how much she relied on God for her direction. It is filled with humor and innocence as Corrie recounts her childhood memories, but always making it a point to let the reader know that the main focus is God. The delightful stories will stick in your memory bank. It was a very delightful book which I shall cherish and re-read in years to come.

The author managed to transport me back in time to the day of Daniel. The way she portrayed him from his childhood through his adult life made me feel as if he were an old friend. It was wonderful to re-live the ordeal of the fiery furnace. Overall, I just came away from the book with a renewal of the value that it is always right to do the right thing.

If you sometimes feel you are the only one left with wholesome values, this book will prove you are not alone. Makes a wonderful volume for the home library and and fine gift!

I couldn't begin to explain how amazing this book is. Hal Lindsay is very blessed.I dare anyone who isn't a believer in Christ to read "SATAN IS ALIVE AND WELL ON PLANET EARTH" , from beginning to end.

This is one of the most intriguing books I've ever read. It answered a lot of questions I've had about the Bible. It is unfortunate that there are people who wish to insult the author and his work. Sadly, they have fallen prey to Satan's numerous traps that are examined in detail in this book. Great reading!

Well after reading Hal`s book i had chills running up my spine.Being i was into the acult for many years and seen the "real" world of the Dark Side. satan is truly alive and living now,he might not know who he is at this point (Antichrist)but he will soon.Those who think this is a "funny" or "Dumb" book has either a acult life style or doesn`t have a clue about the real world.been there done that! Wake up people!
All i can say is pass this book around and get people to buy it so the truth can get out.Maybe leave a copy on the "Church of satan`s" door step.Oh sorry they already know the truth.

Love and peace

Because I currently work as a literacy tutor, I decided to order this book. On my own, I found only parts of the book captured my interest. However, as my students listen to selected passages during each class session, they feel moved to share similar experiences verbally and in writing. Thus, this book has proven a wonderful resource for me; One of my students asked me to order it for her. All of the students feel inspired by John Corcoran's story.

Although John Corcoran does deserve credit for working towards his goal of becoming literate, it is appalling that he concealed this secret for so many years and no one knew it. Furthermore, the book was not that good of a read. The part about his life was interesting, but towards the end, it just kept repeating over and over again 'don't be illiterate.' Don't rush out to buy this one.

A shocking true story of a man's struggle with illiteracy. An immediate feeling of compassion for the author in the first few chapters of the book. Thereafter a feeling of moral disappointment and cowardness for his continues actions to himself and others.

The bibliography is defintley an attention grabber and captures that same attention throughout the book. It is a book that I feel that took the author alot of courage to write about. His life story is displayed publicy for criticism of good and bad nature. Yet, I feel this book was more of a release of consciousness and to show who was to blame for his illiteracy problems. It is a book that can not be encouraging for many people. In the sense that the author seemed to go for help until he hit rock bottom in his life. If he continued on with his life being successful I believe he would have never went in for help for his illiteracy. Although I feel this way about the author's attempt to show the world about his struggles he has built awareness about illiteracy. A problem that is extreme in our country.

This is a horrible little piece of ethnocentric provincialism masquerading as education for parents. If you're the kind of parent who burns your children's rock music because the Christian Right tells you to, you'll love this book. If your worldview is something other than doctrinaire fundamentalist Christianity, you'll want to look elsewhere for an objective overview of the strengths and weaknesses of the New Age movement and modern alternative spirituality in the West.

I'm not a New Ager. This is just a bad book for people who think, unless you wanted to use it as an example of a poorly reasoned polemic.

It's very easy to fall into the trap of what seems to be a "new" way of thought. This book exposes the truth about the "new" religions: they are old ones with a new look, feel and sound. This is a good book to read if you're witnessing to someone who is caught up in New Age philosophy or religion.

Up front: I'm not a follower of or adherent to any soi-disant "new age" philosophy or spirituality, though I do remain open to "new age" ideas about mind-body medicine, meditation, and alternative dispute-resolution. I happened across this book in the "spirituality" section of a chain bookstore which shall remain nameless, while temporarily assigned to duty at the culturally-benighted Ft. Bragg, N.C. To my mind it is a paradigmatic example of one of the most terrifying and pernicious ideas I've ever encountered - the closed-minded, narrow, fear-driven confusion of "protection" with ignorance.

What is it about this stream of Christianity that so doubts itself and its truth that it must throw up walls against a wider world? If the Gospel of Jesus is self-evidently and transcendentally true from the perspective of its believers, it need fear no competition in the marketplace of lesser ideas. To want to deprive one's family of access to information is to express contempt and disrespect for them, and is simultaneously an admission regarding one's true feelings about the relative robustness or utility of faith.

Conflating Hinduism or Buddhism with UFO worship, the Moonies, and the Jonestown cultists, further, is merely ignorant and insulting.

I wish Christians would be secure and comfortable enough in their faith that they wouldn't seek to deny the validity of others' paths to understanding, however flaky they might be.

THE AUTHOR HAS GOOD INTENTIONS AND MAY EVEN SATISFY THE CURIOUSITY OF THE READER WHO WANTS TO TOUCH THE SURFACE ON THIS SUBJECT,BUT THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO DO SERIOUS RESEARCH ON NEWAGE RELIGION INVADING OUR CHRISTIAN HERITAGE, THE BOOK JUST DID NOT SEEM TO HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION ON THE CHAPTER TITLES, IT IS MORE LIKE ONE BIG COMPLAINT RATHER THAN AN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE.

This book was very well written. I love the way he points things out without condeming anyone who is caught in the newage web. Some books are hard hitting and very blunt not bad but this book was written with as much love I believe that one could've written in.
