Over 1 Million Sold in the Series!
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.
This really is a different kind of adventure for cousins Patrick and Beth. After visiting the USSR in the sixties to help a Swedish pastor smuggle Bibles to believers in Russia, the cousins are swept away to fifteenth-century England to learn how the English Bible even came to be—and the real costs it would take to make that possibility a reality.
They meet Christian hero William Tyndale, as well the furious King Henry VIII. Patrick and Beth begin to see that God’s people have always had enemies desperate to stop the spread of His love and truth.

I read the first few chapters of this on the AIO app, and wasn't really surprised that it contained several historical inaccuracies.
What did kind of suprise me was that when I left a comment about it on the AIO club, it was refused. So I'm leaving it here instead.

"This book makes it sound like Luther was the first person to write a Bible in German, but he wasn't. A German Bible was first written in the 8th century, and by the 1500s there were 36,000 German written Bibles."

If the author of this book is okay with portraying things as truth that aren't, and the company that publishes it finds it so dangerous for people to point out the truth that they won't let you say it on their app, then there is a huge problem. Because the truth matters.
