"Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives is the perfect preparation for a future that only He can see." -Preface by Elizabeth Sherrill (quoting Corrie)
"All through the short winter afternoon they kept coming, the people who counted themselves as Father's friends. Young and old, poor and rich, scholarly gentlemen and illiterate servant girls--only to Father did it seem that they were all alike. That was Father's secret: not that he overlooked the differences in people; that he didn't know they were there." p. 29
"...the experiences of our lives, when we let God use them, become the mysterious and perfect preparation for the work He will give us to do." p. 31
"When the time comes that some of us will have to die, you will look into your heart and find the strength you need--just in time." p. 44
"Happiness isn't something that depends on our surroundings, Corrie. It's something we make inside ourselves." p. 50
Regarding the man who broke her heart:
"God loves Karel-even more than you do-and if you ask Him, He will give you His love for this man, a love nothing can prevent, nothing destroy. Whenever we cannot love in the old, human way, Corrie, God can give us the perfect way." p. 60
"...if God has shown us bad times ahead, it's enough for me that He knows about them. That's why He sometimes shows us things, you know--to tell us that this too is in His hands." p. 80
"Perhaps only when human effort had done its best and failed, would God's power alone be free to work." p. 138
"Solitary was teaching me that it was not possible to be rich alone." p. 165
"Some knowledge is too heavy for children...For now you must trust me to carry it for you. And I was satisfied-wonderfully at peace. There were answers to this and all my hard questions-for now i was content to leave them in my father's keeping." p. 42
"The blacker the night around us grew, the brighter and truer and more beautiful burned the word of God. Romans 8:35 and 37" p. 206
"Life in Ravensbruck took place on two separate levels, mutually impossible. One, the observable, external life, grew every day more horrible. The other, the life we lived with God, grew daily better, truth upon truth, glory upon glory." p. 206
"...in darkness God's truth shines most clear." p. 213
"...into my heart sprang a love for this stranger that almost overwhelmed me. And so I discovered that it is not on our forgiveness any more than on our goodness that the world's healing hinges, but on His. When He tells us to love our enemies, He gives, along with the command, the love itself." p. 248
