description: The dramatic life adventure story of Mikhail Morgulis, Russia's remarkable rebel emigre, a popular Christian broadcaster known and loved by millions of his former countrymen throughout the far reaches of his native land, and in America. This adventure story reveals Morgulis from the time of his Communist childhood when he and his buddies scrambled over a fence to explore a boarded-up churchyard, to his unlikely winning of a national writing award, to stealing the love of his life from her fiance, to boldly defying the KGB and finally emigrating, to staging a Christian concert in Carnegie Hall (rented for $200 on a Saturday morning), to leading Gorbechev in prayer in the Kremlin, to becoming Russia's #1 Christian broadcaster early in the 90's, to today as President of Christian Bridge International. Included are vivid stories of love, hope, murder and intrigue by Mikhail Morgulis, an award-winning Russian writer. "We see other countries through American eyes and that is a mistake," said former CIA Director, James Woolsey in 1998. "Russia: Between Sword and Cross" by an American journalist and a Russian writer, portrays the former Soviet Union through the unique prisms of two cultures. Indeed, as the American writer interviewed Morgulis and wrote this story, she became acutely aware of differences in culture and the stark need for understanding. But more than that as a new millennium unfolds, is the excitement of learning about global neighbors. Today we still can be pioneers of sorts - exploring unfamiliar territory. It will be a fascinating journey - if we are curious enough to undertake it. "Russia: Between Sword and Cross"...is such a journey.
