A Two-Week Slice of the Life and Ministry of Corrie ten Boom In 1972, Corrie ten Boom made her first visit to Texas, where she stayed for two weeks with my grandparents in a little town called Friendswood. It was one of thousands of visits she made during the later years of her ministry, sharing the truths she experienced during her time in a concentration camp. But for my grandmother, and later me, it became an integral part of our family legacy. Not just because Corrie ten Boom was already becoming a Christian celebrity at that point, but because (like so many others!) her books and her simple messages resonated in our hearts and strengthened our family's faith. I was born a few months after Corrie ten Boom died, in 1983, and my parents named me after her. As I've grown up, I've discovered quite a club of Corries out there! A whole new generation that has been influenced by her ministry to our parents and grandparents. This small booklet contains my grandmother's account of Corrie's visit with them, and my reflections on that legacy in my own life.
