Yes, everyone in America admires the heroism of Corrie Ten Boom. I read several of her books myself. She didn't plan to be a heroine or a famous celebrity; she was just doing the right thing at the right time and place. She wasn't pretending to be spiritual. She was doing what she saw to be her Christian duty, basically. So? No one can plan to emulate that, but it is an interesting story to read among many more.
