"FROM THE DAYS OF TYNDALE TILL TODAY BIBLE smuggling has been
controversial as well as dangerous. Not many people are brave enough to
venture into this often-perilous calling. My father Haralan Popov always
said, 'A Bible brought into Communist lands, is like a bullet in the heart
of Satan.' Jeana Kendrick and her husband realized that while the Cold
War was raging between the Judeo Christian world and the humanistic
atheistic world of Marxism, the battle could best be fought by changing
the hearts and minds of people rather than by military confrontation.
Their interesting and well-written story is a story of success in which they
witnessed the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989."
-Door of Hope International President Paul H. Popov
"This could pass for a well-crafted work of suspense fiction, except that
every word is fact. In this story the reader cannot avoid unearthing a stark
personal truth that is basic to survival."
-Dr. Guida Jackson, author of Traditional Epics,
Women Who Ruled and other books
"Taut, well written, and insightful, Kendrick's Memoirs of a Bible Smuggler
shares firsthand knowledge of what it was like for Christians during
the Iron Curtain era. Young and idealistic, she and husband Jeff joined
Door of Hope International and embarked on a thirteen year journey to
smuggle banned Bibles into Russian held territories. Fraught with danger,
fear of discovery, and life threatening experiences, her faith in her Savior
provided the courage to continue the quest. Times were not always grim
for she recounts many amusing experiences in chapters that could stand
alone. I would recommend this memoir to everyone, no matter which
religion or non-religion they adhere to, for it imparts an understanding of
what it's like, to be persecuted for worshiping as one pleases, and for those
who have the courage to stand up for that right."
-Jacqueline Pelham, author of Under the Rose
and A Promise to Die For
"Not all battles are fought by armies. Jeana Kendrick's Memoirs of a Bible
Smuggler, beautifully written, tells the true story of unsung heroes of the
Cold War, men and women who risked everything in the service of Christ."
-Donn Taylor, author of Lightning on a Quiet Night,
Rhapsody in Red, and other books
