Bøger af John Russell

John Russell has been a highly regarded professional psychic for almost fifty years, reading for thousands of clients in over thirty countries around the world. As a paranormal investigator, he has physically experienced over eight hundred paranormal manifestations. A Knock in the Attic: True Ghost Stories & Other Spine-chilling Paranormal Adventures is his story, not only about his psychic awakening and the abundance of mind-blowing otherworldly confrontations he''s experienced but also about the point at which he lost his faith and gave up on himself, his psychic gifts, and the beings on the Other Side. But they didn''t give up on him. A prequel of sorts to Russell''s first book, Riding with Ghosts, Angels, and the Spirits of the Dead, A Knock in the Attic begins with his first paranormal experience when he was five years old and follows the highlights of his development as a psychic and paranormal investigator into adulthood, explaining what it''s like to grow up psychic, to be inundated with real spiritual experiences, and, yes, sometimes even to question your spiritual gifts and the guidance from the Other Side.

In his introduction to this collection of essays by constitutional experts, Philip Bryden says that Canadians can be proud of their commitment to the protection of rights and liberties in the Charter. Canada, he believes, is a better place to live then it would be otherwise. Nevertheless, as the essays in this book reveal, the case in favour of the Charter is not simple or one-sided. For instance, Kim Campbell, minister of justice at the time of writing, and Jeffrey Simpson of the Globe and Mail express concern that the Charter promotes a rights discourse that threatens to overwhelm the ordinary politics of recognizing and accommodating different interests. Dean Lynn Smith of the University of British Columbia law faculty observes that the Charter rights are better understood as complementing than as supplanting traditional mechanisms. The authors, diverse in background and outlook, reflect varying points of view but share a significant degree of consensus on issues that need to be addressed.
