The Iron Curtain divided the continent of Europe, north to south, with the Berlin Wall as its most visible, infamous manifestation. Since the Cold War ended and these borders came down, Europe has transformed itself. But we cannot consign the tensions and restrictions of the past to history. At a time when Russia is once again making war and when divisions elsewhere in Europe are on the rise, these old fault lines have new resonance. What do the Curtain and the Wall mean today? What have they left in their wake? In this major new book, Timothy Phillips travels the route of the Iron Curtain from deep inside the Arctic Circle to the meeting point of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey. He explores the borderlands where the clash of civilizations was at its most intense between 1945 and 1989, and where the world’s most powerful ideologies became tangible in reinforced concrete and barbed wire. He looks at the new Europe that emerged from the ruins. The people he meets bear vivid witness to times of change. There are those who look back on the Cold War with nostalgia and affection. Others despise it, unable to forgive the hard and sometimes lost decades that their families, friends, and nations endured. In these historic landscapes lie buried many of the seeds of our world’s current disputes–over borders, and about belonging and the meaning of progress. Walking the Iron Curtain transports the reader across 3,000 miles of Europe and through eight decades, to show how one of the defining stories of the 20th century continues to shape our world today. | Author: Timothy Phillips | Publisher: The Experiment | Publication Date: Mar 07, 2023 | Number of Pages: 464 pages | Language: English | Binding: Hardcover | ISBN-10: 1615199640 | ISBN-13: 9781615199648

O the bliss of this glorious thought; God wants to pour out His blessing upon His creation. The fact is and the reality of the situation is that man's immorality, godlessness, and lawlessness has prevented the Divine from doing so. As we visualize with our mind's eye events of the past, we can with remarkable accuracy watch the scene unfold like an ongoing drama. The curtain is drawn and the future comes upon us as a wild fire destroying everything in its path. Enemies of Israel call for her destruction. Armies are surrounding Jerusalem. Regardless as to the dismal outlook of some, Friday of Holy Week brought a plumage in a reservoir of hope. The story was not completed when the followers left the sepulcher that Friday evening. The day of rest presented an opportunity for the miracle of the resurrection to be witnessed by them. As the stone shook away from the entry to the tomb, so are we set free from the sins which hold us from joy, love, and peace. When He returns a resurrection will be known around the world. The sky will be opened and the Resurrected Christ will appear as King of Kings.
