Essentially, Family Life Today attributes it to her. I also saw about.com attributed it to her, as well as several pastor reference sites. I found one site that attributed it to both, citing Smedes book. Then I found someone who attributed it to Andy Andrews, because he quotes it in his book The Heart Mender. He's a great researcher, so I'll post on his Facebook and see if he knows the origin :) I'll also contact the Corrie Ten Boom society to verify!

I found this page that actually quotes them both as saying it: http://www.veteransoftruth.co/content/forgiveness-unforgiveness It doesn't give the citation of her quote, but it does tell the story. The most reliable source I found was Family Life Today. http://www.familylife.com/site/apps/nlnet/content3.aspx?c=dnJHKLNnFoG&b=3781101&ct=4638749 I noticed about.com cites her also. http://christianity.about.com/od/whatdoesthebiblesay/a/bibleforgivenes.htm I also saw someone attribute it to Andy Andrews http://encouragementacres.blogspot.com/2010/04/heart-mender-by-andy-andrews.html because he writes it in The heart Mender. He is an avid researcher....
