When kids step into the Imagination Station, they travel back in time and across the world with cousins Patrick and Beth. Each book is historically accurate, and readers will grow in their faith and knowledge of big historical events as they race through each unforgettable story.

"What happens if the guards find the Bibles?"

Patrick and Beth are on the trail of Amelia, the government agent who followed them on their last two adventures. The cousins arrive in Russia in the late 1950s, and it soon becomes obvious that Amelia has a curious mission in mind here: to discover why people are willing to give their lives in order to share God's Word with others.

The Soviet police are very careful with their searches. Will they discover the Bibles in the pastor's van? Will their mission to smuggle God's Word to Christians end with the bang of a slammed prison door?

Big Risks in Russia incorporates the true accounts of Brother Andrew, "God's Smuggler," as he aims to get the Bible into communist countries.
