Corrie attracts danger, close calls, narrow escapes, bad guys, and one crisis after another. Not to mention discovering gold in her own backyard and being shot trying to get away!

It’s little wonder when people begin following Corrie’s adventures, they race through every installment of the Journals, one after the other.

The years pass, and Corrie grows as a young woman and as a Christian. Her eyes open to life and relationships, to God and herself, and to the world and her own place in it.

As her perceptions deepen, a maturing lady replaces the bewildered teen of fifteen. Her writing skill leads to a journalist career, which brings notoriety along with it, and eventually takes Corrie east to cover the Civil War, and more dangers and adventures.

All the while, Corrie’s walk with God deepens.

For most who meet her, Corrie becomes not just a storyteller, but a friend.

As she confides her thoughts and dreams, heartaches and fears, questions about life and the joys that go with them, Corrie’s reader-friends grow with her.

In the thirty years since Corrie’s Journals were first published, they have become modern Christian classics.

Thousands of readers worldwide—now sharing the series with their own children—look back on these amazing books and say, “I grew up with Corrie!”
