Greg Thompson was four years old when he first met his guardian angel. It would not be the last visit from that angel or other paranormal beings. In Living with My Spirit Guides, Thompson narrates his story as he offers a different perspective on life when communicating with spirit guides daily. This memoir chronicles how he has grown from a child who accepted his world that others did not understand to a life where he openly talks about his connection to a larger world. Thompson shares how he communicates with his spirit guides, how it has changed throughout time, and how he has additionally learned to talk with other forms of life. Living with My Spirit Guides conveys what it feels like to be an empath who can pick up emotions from anywhere in the world and how it feels walking through a crowd that is either extremely happy or mad. Thompson tells how he learned to control those feelings within him, how he deals with knowledge of someone who is sick or dying and they don’t know it, and how to help them with the aid of his spirit guides.

Even The Slow Life Gets Busy! Takumi and Leo are just starting to get used to life in their new world, when Claire’s father, Duke Eckenhart, pays a surprise visit to the Libert family’s country estate! “Allow me to teach you the way of the sword!” In a world rife with monsters, a little self-defense can go a long way. And so, Takumi takes up sword lessons—from the duke himself!

Modern plays are strikingly diverse and, as a result, any attempt to locate an underlying unity between them encounters difficulties: to focus on what they have in common is often to overlook what is of primary importance in particular plays; to focus on their differences is to note the novelty of the plays without increasing their accessibility. In this study, first published in 1985, Austin E. Quigley takes as his paradigm case the relationship between the world of the stage and the world of the audience, and explores various modes of communication between domains. He asks how changes in the structure of the drama relate to changes in the structure of the theatre, and changes in the role of the audience. Detailed interpretations of plays by Pinero, Ibsen, Strindberg, Brecht, Ionesco, Beckett and Pinter question principles about the modern theatre and establish links between drama structure and theatre structure, theme, and performance space.

In this deeply compelling and sensitively written memoir, John Wilson draws the reader into other worlds, some of them exotic, beautiful and full of extraordinary drama. In this book you will encounter hidden valleys, ancient cultures, tribal warriors, heroic feats and the exhilaration and horror encountered when life is lived on the edge. Ultimately, however, the reader is drawn into the inner world of self-doubt, demons from the past and the longing for a significant life that marks the lives of all men and women. It is a story of beauty, unfolding throughout its pages the redemption and grace that waits on the other side of hardship. [In Other Worlds is] compelling, well-written, vastly entertaining, and inspiring a fascinating look into worlds I would never have the chance to experience otherwise. Anne M. Crawford, author and editor. As John candidly admits, he faced his own inner struggle against doubts that kept taunting, You are not adequate for this. You are in over your head. Give it up and go back to Scotland. Believe me, this is the kind of story where reading recaptures experience. Don Richardson, author In Other Worlds is a well-written, cant-put-down read that will challenge all you previously thought about missionary biographies. David Marfleet, former special forces and missionary pilot.

A collection of tales from the Middle Ages that reveal voyages to Heaven and Hell, the realm of the Faery, mystical lands, and encounters with mythic beasts • Shares travelers’ accounts of voyages into the afterlife, alarming creatures of unparalleled strangeness, encounters with doppelgangers and angels, chivalric romantic misadventures, and legends of heroes • Explains how travelers’ tales from the Middle Ages drew on geographies, encyclopedias, travel accounts, bestiaries, and herbals for material to capture the imagination of their audiences • Includes rare illustrations from incunabula and medieval manuscripts Heading off to discover unknown lands was always a risky undertaking during the Middle Ages due to the countless dangers lying in wait for the traveler--if we can believe what the written accounts tell us. In the medieval age of intercontinental exploration, tales of sea monsters, strange hybrid beasts, trickster faeries, accidental trips to the afterlife, and peoples as fantastic and dangerous as the lands they inhabited abounded. In this curated collection of medieval travelers’ tales, editors Claude and Corinne Lecouteux explain how the Middle Ages were a melting pot of narrative traditions from the four corners of the then-known world. Tales from this period often drew on geographies, encyclopedias, travel accounts, bestiaries, and herbals for material to capture the imagination of their audiences, who were fascinated by the wonders being discovered by explorers of the time. Accompanied by rare illustrations from incunabula and medieval manuscripts, the stories in this collection include voyages into the afterlife, with guided tours of Hell and glimpses of Heaven, as well as journeys into other fantastic realms, such as the pagan land of the Faery. It also includes accounts from travelers such as Alexander the Great of alarming creatures of unparalleled strangeness, encounters with doppelgangers and angels, legends of heroes, and tales of chivalric romantic misadventures, with protagonists swept to exotic new places by fate or by quest. In each story, the marvelous is omnipresent, and each portrays the reactions of the protagonist when faced with the unknown. Offering an introduction to the medieval imaginings of a wondrous universe, these tales reflect the dreams and beliefs of the Middle Ages’ era of discovery and allow readers to survey mythic geography, meet people from the far ends of the earth, and experience the supernatural.
