Corrie ten Boom--non-spanking household!
Ok, this was one of those things I just *knew* about the ten Boom household, but couldn't find evidence for.
:jump2 I finally found confirmation in this quote from "My Father's House" --Corrie ten Boom with C.C. Carlson: Quote:
I think it's interesting that she wrote this in 1976 and was concerned about permissiveness, but was definitely not for spanking. It was all about proper authority, properly handled. I haven't been able to read any true GBD books, but have learned so much from her biographies...her grace-based life is such a beautiful testimony. :heart |

Re: Corrie ten Boom--non-spanking household!
What a lovely quote! I always felt they must have been a gentle family. I always love the object lessons he gave her when she would ask questions (like having her try to carry the suitcase when she asked about sexual sin). What an amazing family. :heart

Re: Corrie ten Boom--non-spanking household!
I have always admired Corrie and her family. I've read The Hiding Place several times. I've always given her name whenever people ask the question "Who, in history, would you most like to meet."

Lovely!
I would like to read this book. I'm vaguely familiar with the history there, but just barely. |
Re: Corrie ten Boom--non-spanking household!
Ooooh! My older children will be thrilled to hear this! We read The Hiding Place together a month or two ago. It's so beautiful how God worked through their family. Thank you for sharing!

Re: Corrie ten Boom--non-spanking household!
That is awsome!

Re: Corrie ten Boom--non-spanking household!
I've had that feeling when I've read her books too. They had such a lovely family and I often think of them when I want a mental image of what environment I want for our family (when we are stressed). It's very encouraging!

Re: Corrie ten Boom--non-spanking household!
She was an amazing woman. :heart

Re: Corrie ten Boom--non-spanking household!
That is really cool to know. I actually got to visit the real "Hidding Place" in Holland and it is an amazing ministry. They still preach reconciliation (her major ministry after the War). The first thing they said to us on our "tour" was "This is not about Corrie Ten Boom, this is about the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob!" There is still a Watch Shop on the First floor too :-)

Thank you so much for sharing this!! :happytears :heart
I've long admired Corrie Ten Boom, her sister, and their entire family dynamic..it makes sense that their family conducted itself this way :amen I've read the Hiding Place..I think I'm going to buy a copy of My Father's House, if for nothing more than to have that quote :heart |
Re: Corrie ten Boom--non-spanking household!
Wow, thanks!
