“My teeth were chattering, lungs bursting, body roasting alive...”

The story of a Californian’s first exposure to a Siberian steam bath is something to laugh about—later. Siberian Shivers shares Bill Harris’ adventures in Siberia, humorously recounting numerous cross-cultural predicaments and offering spiritual insights (learned the hard way).

If you’re intrigued by foreign cultures or know someone who is, you’ll find Siberian Shivers a refreshingly unique first step toward becoming a cross-cultural insider. Now available for free download, Siberian Shivers has never been cooler!

Frantically boarding was just the beginning. The story of the Harrises’ journey by car, ship, and rail across Russia is a hilariously heart-stopping tale.

If you’ve ever thirsted for an adventure like striking out across Russia with no safety net, here’s your chance. Delightfully funny and packed full of cultural insights, The Great Siberian Rail Adventure awaits you!

About this book

“She put the electrode to my temple. I quickly memorized my name...”

Culture shock can come with high voltage. The Harrises’ lives in Saint Petersburg are charged with adventure--like dodging bombs in the metro, wrestling a demented clothes washer, evading ice spears, and trying an electrocution cure. Come explore Russia ’s cultural capital with Bill as he engagingly recounts his adventures. This piled platter is culturally insightful and spiritually challenging. Treat your family and friends to the gift that’s food for thought.

Bite down on Peterburgers!



If you’re looking for pious prose, better keep surfing ‘cause my books take delight at poking fun at my life in Russia. They show you the funny side of life overseas, especially when it comes to watching how cultural outsiders gradually figure out how to stop being goombas and become cultural insiders. These books are a chronology of my stumbling progress toward cultural competence salted with cultural and spiritual lessons for others who walk my trail. Missionaries identify with my stories while their supporters back home are afraid to, except to laugh and hope none of my adventures ever happen to them!
