Download or read book Romance in Starland and Other Stories Classic Reprint written by Kate Elizabeth Perkins Glass and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-03-20 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Romance in Starland, and Other Stories I have proven in this book that there is no death; that sex is divine; that we never lose our sex or individuality in Heaven. The body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, and is very sacred. It is a crime to permit one girl on earth to fall, as that one soul is part of God. I was a Baptist until lately. I still love that church and all other churches. I would give my life to make the world as happy as I am now, know ing that the Bible is true. For years I was the worst type of skeptic. After developing the senses, some more than others, it is a fact I have established interplanetary communi cation. I am a Christian psychic. I believe in God, the Christ and His angels. I communicate with saints daily. I hear their sweet voices teaching me how to live a beautiful life. When I see my loved ones I am happy. It is a breath from Heaven to travel in dreams to other, brighter worlds. Yet often when-i am wide awake, in the sunshine I see supernal visions that prove to my soul beyond a doubt that my dreams were true. The soul is immortal. Sacred thoughts attract my mother and other angels; as I gaze on them with rapture, my soul is filled with love and ecstasy. I have proven in this book there is no death. Dr. Burke and my mother and other invisible helpers have proven this to me a thousand times. Since I know there is no death, I worship God a thousand times more than ever.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Constellations and Comets, or Stories From Starland The stars tell it all. Do you see the con stellations swinging above us, such unimagin able vastness, not roving or crashing through the illimitable at haphazard, but moving in more excellent measure and to a finer rhythm than the most delicate clock-work man ever made. The great ocean lines mark our seas with their paths through the water, the fine brains of the earth are behind the ships that sail from port to port, yet how awry the system goes: When does a ship come to harbor at an hour determined when she sailed?

"In Starland" was written that our young people might have the story of the heavens purged from the erroneous ideas that pervade more pretentious books. The author desires that the reader, while learning of the glories of the sky, may always be cognizant of the most important truth of all, - that the worlds came not by chance or evolution, but were framed by the word of God; that He spoke and they "stood fast." The purpose of this volume is merely to outline to the reader the story of the heavens as revealed in the combined research work of the world's leading astronomers. Only in a general way, therefore, can the author give credit where credit is due. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Curious Map Book written by Ashley Baynton-Williams and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-10-20 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since that ancient day when the first human drew a line connecting Point A to Point B, maps have been understood as one of the most essential tools of communication. Despite differences in language, appearance, or culture, maps are universal touchstones in human civilization. Over the centuries, maps have served many varied purposes; far from mere guides for reaching a destination, they are unique artistic forms, aides in planning commercial routes, literary devices for illuminating a story. Accuracy—or inaccuracy—of maps has been the make-or-break factor in countless military battles throughout history. They have graced the walls of homes, bringing prestige and elegance to their owners. They track the mountains, oceans, and stars of our existence. Maps help us make sense of our worlds both real and imaginary—they bring order to the seeming chaos of our surroundings. With The Curious Map Book, Ashley Baynton-Williams gathers an amazing, chronologically ordered variety of cartographic gems, mainly from the vast collection of the British Library. He has unearthed a wide array of the whimsical and fantastic, from maps of board games to political ones, maps of the Holy Land to maps of the human soul. In his illuminating introduction, Baynton-Williams also identifies and expounds upon key themes of map production, peculiar styles, and the commerce and collection of unique maps. This incredible volume offers a wealth of gorgeous illustrations for anyone who is cartographically curious.
