Book excerpt: People in America hold a variety of competing and incompatible worldviews that are so different that it can be difficult to communicate about important issues in life. Portals offers a brief survey of seven of the major worldviews that shape American culture today. The book begins with an introduction that explains the idea of worldview and gives some suggestions for how to use the book. It then has chapters on historic Christianity, secular naturalism, postmodernism, Islam, Eastern religions, the New Age movement, and the Gaian worldview. The book concludes with an epilogue that looks ahead at where each of the worldviews seems to be heading, and points to new worldviews that are developing and that may emerge as important ways of seeing the world in the coming years. Intended primarily as a guide for Christians to understand their neighbors, this book can benefit anyone interested in bridging the divide between competing worldviews and entering the mental world of the people around us.

When her grandmother dies, 13-year-old Christy inherits an old family secret: the pond behind her house is in fact a portal to another world. What’s more, she learns that her grandfather went through the portal when he mysteriously “disappeared” nine years ago. Christy tries to respect her grandmother’s final wishes and not go exploring, but when a classmate named Rob falls into the pond, she has to act. Since no one would believe her if she told them the truth about the pond, Christy arranges her own rescue party. In order to rescue Rob, she’ll have to brave a bizarre alien landscape, evade hostile creatures, and protect Danny, the boy from next door who followed her through the portal. Meanwhile on Earth, the grown-ups launch a frantic search, and they’re willing to drain the pond to find out what happened. Will Christy be able to find her grandfather, rescue Rob, and return safely to Earth before she becomes a permanent resident of the Empty World?

Book Synopsis The Country Girls: Three Novels and an Epilogue by : Edna O'Brien
Download or read book The Country Girls: Three Novels and an Epilogue written by Edna O'Brien and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2017-11-14 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A treasure of world literature back in print, featuring a new introduction by Eimear McBride This omnibus edition includes the novels The Country Girls, The Lonely Girl, and Girls in Their Married Bliss. The country girls are Caithleen “Kate” Brady and Bridget “Baba” Brennan, and their story begins in the repressive atmosphere of a small village in the west of Ireland in the years following World War II. Kate is a romantic, looking for love; Baba is a survivor. Setting out to conquer the bright lights of Dublin, they are rewarded with comical miscommunications, furtive liaisons, bad faith, bad luck, bad sex, and compromise; marrying for the wrong reasons, betraying for the wrong reasons, fighting in their separate ways against the overwhelming wave of expectations forced upon "girls" of every era. The Country Girls Trilogy and Epilogue charts unflinchingly the pattern of women’s lives, from the high spirits of youth to the chill of middle age, from hope to despair, in remarkable prose swinging from blunt and brutal to whimsical and lyrical. It is a saga both painful and hilarious, and remains one of the major accomplishments of Edna O’Brien’s extraordinary career.
Download or read book Portals written by Lynne Hume and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-29 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Alice in Wonderland discovered, cave entrances, tunnels, spirals and mirrors can transport people to strange worlds where anything is possible. Portals investigates how we move beyond the conscious and physical world using our senses, into other realities of the spiritual and the divine. Portals looks at the techniques used to alter consciousness practised by shamans, monks and other religious specialists. These include the use of drugs, as well as drumming, chanting and meditation. The book provides a new, anthropologically-grounded perspective on the wide-ranging questions about the realities of human consciousness and mystical, spiritual and religious experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Become a Conduit of God’s Power “I encourage you to read Joshua’s book, not only to learn about the glory but also to be changed by the glory.” —Bill Johnson “This book is boot camp for the next and greatest move of God’s Spirit in history.” —Sid Roth All Christians are intended to live, move, and operate in the supernatural realm. But many people aren’t sure how to enter into this realm—or how to go deeper in the Spirit. Joshua Mills explains that, much more than sensing what God is doing, we can participate in the supernatural on a daily basis through divine portals, or gates. In this study guide companion to his book Power Portals, Joshua clearly shows believers how they can become conduits of God’s power. Within a power portal, we may experience a sudden realization of God’s presence, an abundance of healing, spontaneous joy, signs and wonders, angelic activity, an increase in spiritual dreams and visions, or extravagant provision. Some portals can be activated in our own bodies through the heart, mouth, eyes and ears, mind, innermost being, hands, and feet. There are also direct heavenly portals and geographical portals, special places where we can experience the release of God’s power. The Power Portals Study Guide, which can be used by either individuals or groups, contains some brand-new material to further your understanding of these gateways to the Spirit realm. The guide is also filled with key points from the book, thought questions, review questions, and supernatural activations. Get ready to awaken your connection to the Spirit realm. Get ready to encounter Power Portals! “Joshua Mills…has taken deep spiritual revelation and translated it into language that any reader can understand and apply to daily life.” —Becky Thompson “Joshua Mills…gives you teachings you can trust and revelations that get you results.” —Tony Kemp #PowerPortalsBook

This book will clarify how to 'tap' into portals and 'travel' into Alternate Realities, Parallel Universes and multiple Time Lines. 'Portals- Gateways to the Multi-Dimensional Worlds', could be seen as a 'Metaphysical Self-Help' book, because it will help you tap into your extrasensory abilities that are just waiting to be awakened!

It has been my goal to inspire people to open their minds to all the possibilities in life; to apply their metaphysical skills for the enhancement of their lives as well as others.

When you understand the workings of these multi-dimensional levels, you will then appreciate not only the wonders of the multi-universe, but the 'magic that lie within'... 'Portals- Gateways to the Multi-Dimensional Worlds' will teach you to not only communicate with the multi-dimensional worlds, but to photograph these worlds, the entities that live within and the strange phenomena interacting with us. In this book and throughout the 'Believe in the Magic series', I will teach you how the mind interprets your reality and how you can use this information to create the reality or realities you desire. Throughout this series, I will continue to inform you about vortices, portals, time slips, the Oz Factor or Dead Zones, alternative realities, frequencies and vibrations. It is my purpose to help you, once again, believe in your own multi-dimensional capabilities and the magic that lies within! Mary Sutherland

Download or read book Portals written by Philippa Lewis and published by Bloomsbury USA. This book was released on 2018-01-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illustrated exploration of our limitless fascination with doors, gates, and bridges. The word "portal" comes from the Latin for "gate," but it refers to any place of ingress and egress. According to architectural historian Philippa Lewis, a portal "is generally an optimistic thing, both literally and metaphorically . . . The word encapsulates the idea of passing through, to a new opportunity, to making progress or moving forward, to entering fresh new worlds." That may be the reason so many people are drawn to the idea of portals--from King Nebuchadnezzar's Ishtar Gate through the walls of Babylon, to mountain passes, the doorway to the Raphael Loggia at the Vatican, pontoons, and drawbridges. Portals also have enlivened fiction and lore--what would Arabian Nights have been without the magical command "Open Sesame!" or Alice in Wonderland if Alice had not followed the White Rabbit down a rabbit hole? And in many cultures around the world, a rainbow is a portal that "stands for peace, tolerance, respect for life and diversity." In this beautifully illustrated book, the seemingly everyday means of ingress and egress become things of beauty and cultural significance.
Book Synopsis Portals of Power by : Lori M. Campbell
Download or read book Portals of Power written by Lori M. Campbell and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2010-03-08 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fantasy writing, like literature in general, provides a powerful vehicle for challenging the status quo. Via symbolism, imagery and supernaturalism, fantasy constructs secondary-world narratives that both mirror and critique the political paradigms of our own world. This critical work explores the role of the portal in fantasy, investigating the ways in which magical nexus points and movement between worlds are used to illustrate real-world power dynamics, especially those impacting women and children. Through an examination of high and low fantasy, fairy tales, children's literature, the Gothic, and science fiction, the portal is identified as a living being, place or magical object of profound metaphorical and cultural significance.

This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where were you when the lights went out and the monsters came? In the near future, a government experiment out of control opens gateways to other worlds and dimensions all over planet Earth, plunging everyday people into a nightmare of grim survival against the horrific and bizarre... Portal Zero. The beginning of the end. - In Colorado Springs, CO, young family-man Arthur can't find his wife and young sons when all electronics and vehicles in the city are disabled. But the EMP is the least of his worries. When the city quickly turns to looting and anarchy, he sees much darker dangers in the shadows with glowing blue eyes... - In Geneva, Switzerland, Chad is a naive cameraman working for a news network filming the opening of Portal Zero, mankind's first experiment with 'Dimension Drive'--an attempt at inter-space travel. Barely out of his internship, Chad is forced to survive the terrifying creatures that emerge from the gateway when everything goes wrong. When the slaughter in the deep-underground lab begins, how will he survive, trapped and isolated from the surface? - Meanwhile, in Zion National Park, UT, Megan is a fit and self-made woman on vacation with her boyfriend when a mysterious thunderclap kills all of the electronics in the park. When a strange, golden obelisk appears in the middle of the park, a mysterious and unseen force begins transforming the tourists around her. - Harvey is an alcoholic, disgraced police officer in Las Vegas, NV, recently imprisoned after failing at his spree of vigilante justice on the unpunished. But when the city's power fails and the precinct over his cell is breached by an army of nightmares, it seems that Hell itself is invading the city of sin, and the Strip is burning. - Kayleen is a young college student and art major at PSU in Portland, OR. She doesn't really care about much more than Veganism and the boy she secretly has a crush on. But when a weird, alien environment follows an EMP-induced city-wide blackout one night while she's at an off-campus party, what will Kayleen find out about her values when everyone's focus turns to survival? - Tommy and Jody are two young children in Flagstaff, AZ, living with their mom and dad and enjoying a stable childhood, when a town-wide power outage becomes a call for concern when it's not fixed by the next morning. When the family hears the police fighting against invading monsters in the business district nearby, and they are all forced to evacuate their home because of a spreading wildfire, the children have no idea that their lives are about to change forever... In a year much sooner than you think, while scientists and politicians argue about global warming and lack of resources, the United Nations has reorganized itself into the UEA, the first serious attempt at a world government. "Dimension Drive" is being developed for wormhole-based space travel in Europe by the UEA to expand human civilization into the stars. But the UEA development team responsible for Dim Drive has no idea that they're about to lose control of the portal they're trying to harness because of a massive, unforeseen EMP, ushering in the end of the world as we know it. In America, one of the last superpowers holding out against joining the United Earth Alliance, several individuals across the country are going about their lives, unaware that UEA scientists are quietly conducting the first real test of their new Dimension Drive technology that will change everything... Do you love guns, tactical realism, and monsters? Are you a fan of cosmic horror and dark fantasy / sci-fi? Love the Mist and Cabin in the Woods? Lovecraft? Doom? Stranger Things? EMP and Prepper Survival? This story is full of terror, suspense, and bad language. If you can dig it, strap in for a ride to Hell! Read Portal Zero, Book One of the Apocalypse Gate Series now!
Download or read book Portals written by Amy Catania Kulper and published by Actar D, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-11-11 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Portals: Pedagogy, Practice, and Architecture’s Future Imaginary considers the COVID-19 pandemic and the remote pedagogy it occasioned globally in schools of architecture, as a critical threshold to future architectural pedagogy, practice, and spatial imaginaries. Given that the conceit of a “return to normal” is neither desirable nor possible, this book speculates upon possible futures for the discipline of architecture, through the lens of the Thesis and Directed Research projects of the RISD Architecture class of 2020. This book documents an interregnum, a pause, a moment of self-reflection in which architects, imperiled by the COVID-19 pandemic and all of the forms of inequity that this global crisis surfaced, confronted remote architectural pedagogy and practice as a critical threshold for the future imaginary of the discipline. The renowned group of architects, educators, theorists, critics, and curators assembled in this volume provide critical insights into the future of architectural pedagogy, utilizing the thesis and design research projects of the RISD Architecture class of 2020 as exemplars of the transformations currently taking place in the field. This volume considers the forms that architectural activism and advocacy take in a moment when architects are critically reexamining the conventions of their practice and the question of which constituencies they serve. With Contributions by RISD B.Arch & M.Arch students with Iñaki Alday, Daniel A. Barber, Hansy Better Barraza, Sean Canty, Kevin Crouse, Peggy Deamer, David Gersten, Mario Gooden, Timothy Hyde, Daniel Ibañez, Kent Kleinman, Amy Catania Kulper, Carl Lostritto, Ryan McCaffrey, Ana Miljački, Kiel Moe, Nicholas de Monchaux, Ijlal Muzaffar, Ben Pell, Rachely Rotem, Jacqueline Shaw, Lola Sheppard, Georgeen Theodore, Mason White, Dr. Mabel O.
