I'm Not Really Here: A Life of Two Halves , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 629min
Paul Lake was Manchester born, a City fan from birth. His footballing talent was spotted at a young age and, in 1983, he signed coveted schoolboy forms for City. Only a short time later he was handed the team captaincy. An international career soon beckoned and, after turning out for the England under-21 and B teams, he received a call-up to the England training camp for Italia '90. Despite missing out on a place in the final squad, he suitably impressed the management, with Bobby Robson earmarking him as an England captain in the making. As a rising star Paul became a target for top clubs like Manchester United, Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool, but he always stayed loyal to his beloved club, deeming Maine Road the spiritual home at which his destiny lay. But then, In September 1990, disaster struck. Paul ruptured his cruciate ligament and sustained the worst possible injury that a footballer can suffer. And so began his nightmare. Neglected, ignored and misunderstood by his club after a succession of failed operations, Paul's career began to fall apart. Watching from the side-lines as similarly injured players regained their fitness; he spiralled into a prolonged bout of severe depression. With an enforced retirement from the game he adored, the death of his father, and the collapse of his marriage, Paul was left a broken man. Set against a turning point in English football, I'm Not Really Here is the powerful story of love and loss and the cruel, irreparable damage of injury; of determination, spirit and resilience, and of unfulfilled potential and broken dreams. ungekürzt.

Shroud of Eden: Panhelion Chronicles, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 708min
An adventure across space and time! Shroud of Eden by Marlin Desault Evolved Publishing presents the first book in the Panhelion Chronicles. This military science fiction series features space travel, time warps, alien species, and war on a grand galaxy scale. [DRM-Free] While on maneuvers as part of the Panhelion Defense Command fleet near the moons of Jove, Scott Drumond, captain of the Strike Cruiser Targelion, finds his promising career unexpectedly blighted by events that nearly destroy his starship and dramatically change his fortunes. Scott's nemesis arranges his court martial on trumped-up charges, and the court finds him guilty. They order him demoted with the stipulation that he is forbidden to hold a command assignment. His one chance for redemption comes when a sympathetic admiral transfers him to Exploration Command, and offers him a seemingly trivial mission to investigate an anomaly in the Hyades star cluster. Scott accepts temporary captaincy of the scout corvette Pegasus with the hope of restoring his honor and permanent rank. His assignment turns out to be anything but routine when, upon reaching the anomaly, he and his crew encounter a startling distortion in space-time that creates a barrier to material objects. With the first part of his mission complete, he opens sealed orders and learns of scheming and deception in the highest levels of the Panhelion. By means of a clever gambit, Scott finds an opening in the barrier and chances passage to the far side, where he uncovers the truth about a legendary ghost ship and a lost colony of humans. As he comes to know more about this society of refugees, their strange customs intrigue and baffle him. But his most important find comes when he discovers they hold the secret to a long forgotten weapon, which can defeat a despot at home and turn the tide in battle against alien invaders swarming out of the Coma Bernices star cluster. ungekürzt.

If You Can Count to Four: How To Get Everything You Want Out Of Life - Second Edition (Change Your Life) (eBook, ePUB)
How To Get Everything You Want Out Of Life There are basic laws in this universe that will work for you if you know how to apply them. They work for anyone who knows they exist and how to use them.The law of electricity works for all of us. We can burn your house down with electricity or you can light your home with it. You don't have to be a genius to do it. A child three years old can push a button and turn the lights on.Millions of people have been taught to believe that the rules of success are indeed so very difficult and complicated that surely they could never learn them.I found out that anyone can be genuinely successful if he will learn the exact same "rules" that the successful people learned and use them.I'm going to lay down a simple basic way and you can have anything material you want to have and you can be anything you want to be. These are scientific things that work every time if you will do it in a simple way.We can decide what we want in life in a home, in an automobile, in the clothes we wear, anything that we want in this world--any type of furniture, any type of a home, any type of an anything.Regardless of your background, your lack of education, your lack of knowing anyone who is supposed to be important, your lack of funds, or any other seeming lack, you can still be what you want to be and have what you want to have.If you have just one little desire right now that you wish fulfilled and you don't know exactly how to go about it, then you are ready to learn how to "Count to Four". Excerpt:Yes, anyone who will, in the spirit of humility and sincere desire, study and learn how to use the ideas contained in this book, can enjoy a full measure of happiness, health and prosperity according to his individuality. There is an infinite abundance in this universe. Not only is there an infinite abundance of happiness, faith, love, courage, joy, humility, wisdom, generosity, peace, gentleness, meekness, patience, kindness, and all such qualities one could ever desire to express habitually, but there is an infinite abundance of every material thing that one could ever desire to have in order to express his individuality. The reason that so many people do not have the above in abundance is not because there is any shortage, it is simply because they are not aware of how to push the right button of appropriation. All things that one desires are available to one who understands the "Laws of Appropriation." In other words, there is a simple set of rules by which all things are obtained, which anyone who really wants to learn them can learn and then be whatever he wants to be and have whatever he wants to have. Yes, it is just that simple, and I want to share this idea with every person in the whole world, who is not already enjoying the full measure of life according to his individuality. I will speak mostly from experience, as I too, was poor, unhappy, and sick before I learned these simple rules. But now I am happy, healthy and more prosperous than I had ever dared dream before in my life. Yes, this book tells anyone how to make his dreams come true. I challenge you to turn your back on all suggestions to the contrary and to get a new lease on life and began now to assume the captaincy of your own soul and design the type of person you really want to be, and design the things you really want to have and accept them and soon they all will become a reality. If you will learn the ideas contained in this book and use it, I guarantee that you will realize your most cherished dreams. Get Your Copy Now- Shop: buecher
