Book Beyond the Third Door

Download or read book Beyond the Third Door written by Maria Heckinger and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2019-09-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My book has three narrators: my birth mother, my adopted mother, and myself. It is the tale of two mothers and their connection to one child. One mother was shamed because she had a child and the other because she couldn't. I am one of 3,500 Greek orphans adopted to the U.S. in the 1950s. Conceived in an act of violence, I was born to an unwed mother who was exiled from her island home for 44 years. Homeless and seven months pregnant in a large mainland city, she could not care for me and lost me to foreign adoption. Raised in California, I returned to Greece when I was 30 where, through a series of life-changing events, I reconnected with my birth mother. Finally, as the orphaned child, I tell my story. Based on documents and oral histories given by both mothers, and my experiences, it is a tale so miraculous it reads like fiction.

Book The Third Door

Download or read book The Third Door written by Alex Banayan and published by Crown Currency. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FORBES #1 CAREER BOOK TO READ IN 2018 The larger-than-life journey of an 18-year-old college freshman who set out from his dorm room to track down Bill Gates, Lady Gaga, and dozens more of the world’s most successful people to uncover how they broke through and launched their careers. The Third Door takes readers on an unprecedented adventure—from hacking Warren Buffett’s shareholders meeting to chasing Larry King through a grocery store to celebrating in a nightclub with Lady Gaga—as Alex Banayan travels from icon to icon, decoding their success. After remarkable one-on-one interviews with Bill Gates, Maya Angelou, Steve Wozniak, Jane Goodall, Larry King, Jessica Alba, Pitbull, Tim Ferriss, Quincy Jones, and many more, Alex discovered the one key they have in common: they all took the Third Door. Life, business, success… it’s just like a nightclub. There are always three ways in. There’s the First Door: the main entrance, where ninety-nine percent of people wait in line, hoping to get in. The Second Door: the VIP entrance, where the billionaires and celebrities slip through. But what no one tells you is that there is always, always… the Third Door. It’s the entrance where you have to jump out of line, run down the alley, bang on the door a hundred times, climb over the dumpster, crack open the window, sneak through the kitchen—there’s always a way in. Whether it’s how Bill Gates sold his first piece of software or how Steven Spielberg became the youngest studio director in Hollywood history, they all took the Third Door.

Book Beyond the Black Door

Download or read book Beyond the Black Door written by A.M. Strickland and published by Imprint. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond the Black Door is a young adult dark fantasy about unlocking the mysteries around and within us—no matter the cost... Everyone has a soul. Some are beautiful gardens, others are frightening dungeons. Soulwalkers—like Kamai and her mother—can journey into other people's souls while they sleep. But no matter where Kamai visits, she sees the black door. It follows her into every soul, and her mother has told her to never, ever open it. When Kamai touches the door, it is warm and beating, like it has a pulse. When she puts her ear to it, she hears her own name whispered from the other side. And when tragedy strikes, Kamai does the unthinkable: she opens the door. A.M. Strickland's imaginative dark fantasy features court intrigue and romance, a main character coming to terms with her asexuality, and twists and turns as a seductive mystery unfolds that endangers not just Kamai's own soul, but the entire kingdom ... An Imprint Book “I couldn’t put down this deliciously dark dream of a fantasy.” —New York Times bestselling author Lisa Maxwell “A dark delight, gorgeously written and as twisty and enigmatic as a labyrinth at twilight. I wanted to stay lost in its pages forever, wandering ever deeper into the maze of Strickland’s beguiling, intricately imagined world.” —Margaret Rogerson, New York Times bestselling author of An Enchantment of Ravens

Book Beyond the Golden Door

Download or read book Beyond the Golden Door written by Ali Master and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2019-05-14 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this powerful and inspiring memoir, a Pakistani immigrant shares his story of finding new freedoms and a new faith in America. It’s easy to talk about freedom. But unless someone has lived in a world that suffocates freedom, it’s difficult to appreciate the liberty found in America. This is the true story of a Pakistani Muslim who immigrates to the United States for college and discovers five transformational freedoms along the way: the freedom to fail and start over, to love, to choose one’s faith, to be an entrepreneur, and to self-govern. Contrasting these precious freedoms with the life he lived in Pakistan, Ali’s story reveals that God is the true source of liberty as He works in people’s lives to bring about redemption. A call to value and preserve American freedoms, Beyond the Golden Door is also an invitation for readers to consider ultimate freedom in Jesus Christ.

Book excerpt: A boy faces amnesia as he seeks to end the monstrous threat to his city in this finale to a fantasy trilogy by a New York Times–bestselling author. Three magic Doors are the only way in and out of the walled city of Weld. The golden Door is grand and majestic—a Door for heroes. The silver Door hints at mystery and knowledge—a door for schemers. But the plain wooden Door has always held the most appeal for Rye and his friend Sonia. And now, at last, they have the chance to open it. The city of Weld is under attack by skimmers, flying beasts that terrorize the night. If Rye and Sonia can’t discover the enemy sending the skimmers in time, Weld has no hope. Twice before, Rye and Sonia left Weld on a quest to save it. Twice before, they failed. Now there’s just one Door left—one last chance to save the people of Weld. Rye and Sonia know everything depends on them. But nothing can prepare them for the horror that waits behind the wooden Door. Praise for The Third Door “Readers who have come to love the plucky Rye and determined Sonia will be eager for this story. . . . The plot is tied up in an unexpected but very satisfying way. Fans of Rodda’s Deltora Quest series will be thrilled by the tie-ins here. New fans can enjoy this installment without any prior knowledge of the land of Deltora; though they’ll have a richer experience if they’ve read the first two volumes.” —Booklist

Book excerpt: Ten people travelling on a tour of Turkey’s amazing cultural sites encounter many adventures and problems, some almost fatal. Why does the trip become so dangerous? Ten travellers have joined a tour of the historic and cultural attractions of western Turkey. They are taking this tour for a variety of reasons—some are interested in Turkey’s historical sights, some are focused on Turkey’s place in current geopolitical activities, and some are active participants in those very activities. When they meet their tour guide for the first time in Istanbul, he explains that after three days exploring Istanbul, they will be making their way south along the western Mediterranean coast of Turkey, with stops at world-famous locations, including Gallipoli, Troy, Pergamum, Ephesus, and finally completing the tour in Konya, where they will visit the tomb of the poet Rumi. The travelers consist of an urbane Arab and his hired antiquarian assistant, in search of a mysterious artifact in Turkey; a husband who works for the UN and his wife, who teaches physics; two young female college students; a Jewish couple from Cincinnati; an Evangelical Christian who represents a company that hunts for crafts to sell in the States; a British MI6 agent on a mission; a local Alevi, who joins the tour in Turkey; and a physics post-doc, who is traveling in Turkey for special reasons of his own. This post-doc, Benny, who is also a psychic, hopes to use his powers to stop nuclear weapons. But in order to do so, he must find a secure location from which to direct his anti-nuke energy. For this reason, he has joined the tour, but he expects to leave the group when it gets to his destination, the secluded caves of Göreme, in central Turkey. However, as the tour makes its way along its planned route, various nuclear powers are intent on stopping whoever is interfering with their nukes. As a result, some members of the group are put in extreme danger at several points in the journey.

Book Beyond the Borders of Baptism

Download or read book Beyond the Borders of Baptism written by Michael L. Budde and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-09-02 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People worldwide find themselves part of overlapping communities of identity and belonging--racial, political, cultural, sexual, ideological. Some identities, like brand loyalties, are chosen; some, like class identity, are fimposed. As followers of Jesus Christ, those called to live in between the age that is and the age to come, Christians ask what it means to be part of the body of Christ, God's new creation from among the nations, in a world filled with other nations. "Who--and whose--are we?" There is no easy answer, no time at which Christians got it completely right. Yet such questions must be addressed, and the stakes are high. Matters of war and peace, exclusion and inclusion, who starves and who does not, the credibility of the gospel itself--all are caught up in the whirl of identities, allegiances imposed or refused, and questions about what "the church" might possibly mean in such circumstances. In this book, a distinguished group of scholars from five continents asks, "How can the church respect the diversity of its members--many nations, cultures, and communities--while maintaining a coherent witness to the kingdom of God that is not undermined by more parochial ideologies or priorities?"
