Publisher's Description of The Hiding Place Study Guide | Progeny Press
The famous testimony of faith of Corrie ten Boom and her sister. As Christians during WWII, the ten Boom's reached out to the Jews, who were being persecuted and often put to death by the Nazis. Their compassion extended to providing a secret room in their home in which the Jewish people could hide during Nazi raids. Thus, Corrie becomes steeped in the underground activity of protecting Jews in Holland during a perilous time in world history. With danger, suspense, and dire consequences in a Nazi concentration camp, Corrie and Betsie follow God's leading. They struggle with difficult moral questions and find there are no easy answers.

The Middle
School guides is our largest offering of titles with Progeny
Press. With over 40 titles to choose from, there are numerous books that
will likely be suitable for your student. All presented from a Christian
worldview, each guide is filled with comprehension questions, vocabulary
building, and scriptural connections and application. Pages can be copied for
family and individual classroom use. Many of the classics are found in this
collection and would provide a great opportunity (or incentive) for your
students to read the book and watch the movie! The recommended target goal is
for students to read 4-6 guides during the school year. Answers are in the back
and can be easily removed. Each guide includes Notes to the Instructor, mini
author biographies, and background information. You may be working with a range
of students all from one guide, and that’s okay! Each student will do what they
are developmentally capable of accomplishing. It is easy to read just for fun,
yet adding a literature guide helps to provide a guided reading experience
promoting deeper thought and critical thinking. ~Rebecca
