Memoirs of a Bible Smuggler is a true story set in Eastern Europe during the Cold War , an era when Christians who resisted the Communists' godless decrees faced prison or death. A naïve housewife in the Texas piney woods, Kendrick dreamed of being a Bible smuggler. She and her husband began praying an extra hour in the evenings. They were soon overseas, smuggling Bibles to Christians hungry for God's Word. Through Door of Hope International, they developed a network of trained Bible couriers. Carpenters, bankers, nurses and others gave up their vacations to help smuggle thousands of Bibles to believers behind the Iron Curtain. God was faithful and through His grace these Bible smugglers overcame obstacles and won victories that enriched their lives and those of countless others.
