This book explains the complex relations and entanglements of
Russia and its neighboring countries, an area that changed
dramatically after the collapse of communism and the end of the
Cold War. The chapters discuss how the strategic cultures of
different countries display common characteristics rooted in this
special geopolitical space that has been subjected to simultaneous
changes over a longer time. Shared historical experiences provide a
common ground to interpret outside threats. The spatial context is
relevant in this volume because the focus is on a geopolitical
in-between-ness. The position in between two ideologically,
politically or economically divergent entities affects the states'
security considerations, maneuvering space and policy perspectives.
By cross-examining competing Russian and Western influences
Miklossy and Smith create a persuasive context of regional
political choices.
The potential for a happy abundant Christian life is available to
all who would make Jesus the Lord of their lives, yet there are
many Christians whose lives lack the joy and fullness of a truly
happy life. A keen observer once said to me, "You Christians seem
to have a religion that makes you miserable. You are like a man
with a headache. He does not want to get rid of his head, but it
hurts him to keep it. You cannot expect outsiders to seek earnestly
for anything so uncomfortable." Then, for the first time I saw that
the religion of Christ ought to be, and was meant to be, something
that would make its possessors happy, not miserable. I began then
and there to ask the Lord to show me the secret of a happy
Christian life.
