Rescue Your Money: How to Invest Your Money During These Tumultuous Times , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 124min
In this updated edition of Rescue Your Money, New York Times best-selling author and investment guru Ric Edelman offers no-nonsense, practical advice for how to keep your investments safe in any economic climate. Everyone knows that the ideal investment strategy is to buy low and sell high. But how do you know what stocks will pay off? And how do you know when it's the right time to sell? No matter what you hear, there's no such thing as a sure bet: following fads, listening to the media, and even taking the advice of an investment manager on a roll won't guarantee a payout. To help you understand how to do it correctly, Edelman shows you the one major goal you should have as you seek investment success; the two major obstacles you'll encounter; the one big question you'll have to face; and two basic truths that confront - and confound - every investor. If you're scared or confused about how to handle your investments and fed up with advice from brokers, advisors, and media darlings that has cost you huge sums and placed your financial security at risk, the cure is in your hands. With a cheerful tone that will boost even the most panicked investor's spirit, Edelman reveals the best investments you can make right now to rescue your money.

Buffalito Destiny , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 700min
A former stage hypnotist, the Amazing Conroy really just wants to have a good meal. He’s now the wealthy CEO of a company that leases buffalo dogs, alien creatures capable of biting into and devouring nearly anything. When he attempts to implement a solution for cleaning up massive industrial waste sites, Conroy becomes targeted by ecological terrorists who resent the use of alien technology (living or otherwise) to heal the Earth. But kidnapping and the destruction of his corporate headquarters are the least of Conroy’s problems. An unknown, telepathic intelligence has begun invading his dreams, warning of geological disasters that hinge on what Conroy does next. Further complicating his life are several groups of aliens, each believing that he has a special destiny to fulfill, though they don’t necessarily agree on what it is. Accompanied by his pet buffalito, Reggie, Conroy must elude terrorists, confound alien zealots, withstand temporal distortions throughout the former state of Texas, and explore ancient Mayan ruins. His adventures will result in his reunion with a long-dead relative, a chance to experience the world’s greatest sandwiches, exposure to alien bliss, a battle with a megalomaniac on the slope of an active volcano, and a trip to the asteroid belt for a final face-to-face confrontation with the creature that had been invading his dreams. Somewhere in the midst of it all, he has to find his true destiny. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: William Coon.

Windel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 542min
It’s been 60 years since the Star of Christmas, that which kept safe the spirit of Christmas, was stolen, and as the spirit of hope and goodwill faded a great shadow spread across the land, a darkness which led to the passing of laws forbidding the open celebration of religious holidays, leaving Christmas, by most, to be forgotten; a loss that, sadly, was not is limited to our world. The City of the Light, once connected to Earth by the spirit of Christmas, was lost as well; its King, Kris Kringle, wanes and the Elves, once so plentiful, are all but gone.Darkstars, the evil Queen’s flying dreadnaughts, manned by Goblins and supported by vicious Bogeybats, now prowl what had been the tranquil skies of Erradu; forcing all, from the enchanted forest of Jaden to Nobela in the Land of Lions, to live under constant threat attack.Still, there exist within the heart of the old King a belief that from the city of men a champion will rise to vanquish the dark and keep safe the light - a great warrior who will return hope to the children of Earth and restore peace throughout the land. This then is the story of Windel. A young man from Detroit who is not a great warrior, nor would many consider him to be a champion but, as it turns out - neither is he a Human. For, as you shall see, it’s often the small in stature but big in heart that fate uses to confound the mighty. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David E. Kinney.

The Bletchley Girls: War, Secrecy, Love and Loss: The Women of Bletchley Park Tell Their Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 738min
Historian and broadcaster Tessa Dunlop tells the story of the women of Bletchley Park through exclusive and unprecedented access to the women themselves. The Bletchley Girls weaves together the lives of 15 women who were all selected to work in Britain's most secret organisation - Bletchley Park. It is their story, told in their voices; Tessa met and talked to 15 veterans, often visiting them several times. Firm friendships were made as their epic journey unfolded on paper. The scale of female involvement in Britain during the Second World War wasn't matched in any other country. From eight million working women, just over 7,000 were handpicked to work at Bletchley Park and its outstations. There had always been girls at the park, but soon they outnumbered the men three to one. A refugee from Belgium, a Scottish debutante, a Jewish 14-year-old and a factory worker from Northamptonshire - the Bletchley Girls confound stereotypes. But they all have one common bond: the war and their highly confidential part in it. In the middle of the night, hunched over meaningless pieces of paper, tending mind-blowing machines, sitting listening for hours on end, theirs was invariably confusing, monotonous and meticulous work, about which they could not breathe a word. By meeting and talking to these fascinating female secret keepers who are still alive today, Tessa Dunlop captures their extraordinary journeys into an adult world of war, secrecy, love and loss. Through the voices of the women themselves, this is a portrait of life at Bletchley Park beyond the celebrated code breakers; it's the story of the girls behind Britain's ability to consistently outsmart the enemy and an insight into the women they have become. ungekürzt.

Keri 1: The Original Child Abuse True Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1588min
Child abuse true stories presents: Volume 1 of Kat Ward's sensational autobiography! From the outside, there was no reason to suspect the family life of young schoolchild Keri was anything but unremarkable. Two loving parents, a backdrop of 1960s Britain; life had provided for her, at least with the riches of modesty. Keri herself however, would often confound teachers with her erratic behaviour, which was at best sullen and withdrawn; at worst violently disruptive. When challenged, she would only exacerbate her growing reputation as a fantasist; weaving terrible tales about the "abuse" she was suffering at the hands of her very creators. But it was the much-celebrated age of innocence; the childhood of our modern culture. Big brother had not yet been born and Nanny was only looking out for her dearest, as opposed to the entire State. Who would take the word of child on such matters? After all, she was just a bad egg - wasn't she? Well, no. She wasn't. She was indeed, for over a decade, the victim of an abuse so staggering that merely to read about it is enough to freeze even the thickest of blood. "Keri" is the story of what happens when truth is imprisoned in a little glass jar and buried deep within the Earth, condemned to a sentence of eternal silence. For truth may be repressed, but never suppressed. It will always find light eventually. And in this gut-wrenching account of her early life, author Kat Ward takes the reader through every shade of darkness, whilst never allowing the candle of hope to fully extinguish, so as the truth may indeed find its rightful freedom. Disclaimer: This is a true story of child abuse. Reader discretion is advised. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bridget Thomas.

Mysteries of John , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 356min
Metaphysical bible students recognize in the Gospel of John a certain spiritual quality that is not found in the other Gospels. Although this is not true of all bible readers, it may be said that those who look for the mystical find it in the language of this book. The book is distinctive in this respect and is so successful in setting forth metaphysical truths that little interpretation is necessary. Only in a few instances does the original writing conceal the deep truths that the student seeks to discern. Written language is at best a reflection of inner ideas, and even though a teacher couples ideas and words as adroitly as Jesus does, elucidation is sometimes difficult. Nevertheless ideas are catching, and this may be the best reason for publishing another book about this spirit-arousing Fourth Gospel. We are all heavily charged with ideas, and when these ideas are released they spring forth and pass from mind to mind, being recorded as they fly, and when they are expressed the whole race is lifted up - if the idea is charged with the uplifting Spirit. Jesus was God's idea of man-made manifest in the flesh; so He was warranted in making that dynamic assertion, "if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself." Nowhere in all literature has this truth of the unity of God, man, and creation been so fearlessly expressed and affirmed by man as in the Book of John. Here the question arises as to God's responsibility for all that appears in the flesh, both good and evil, which seems to confound our logic and understanding. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Radiant Mind: Teachings and Practices to Awaken Unconditioned Awareness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 480min
Nondual awakening - the liberating realization of oneness - is the pinnacle state in the world's great contemplative traditions. While the simple beauty of this teaching has captivated many modern spiritual seekers, the social conditioning of our culture often creates barriers for Western practitioners that even the most advanced Eastern masters have never personally encountered. With Radiant Mind, Peter Fenner - an expert in Eastern psychologies and longtime student of many Tibetan masters - offers you an effective, practical approach for Western students seeking to directly experience and cultivate the healing power of nondual awakening. The Complete Freedom of Unconditioned Mind Peter Fenner refers to the state of pure presence as unconditioned awareness because it frees us from our cultural conditioning that creates the sense of separation and prevents us from realizing our transcendent selves. Drawing upon decades of experience as a nondual therapist and Buddhist scholar, Fenner demonstrates an intimate familiarity with the ego traps and unconscious beliefs that so often confound Western students. With gentle wisdom, profound insight, and a lighthearted presence, he guides you on your journey through each step on the road to enlightened consciousness. In his workshops, Peter Fenner has taught thousands of students how to attain a state known as the ultimate medicine, one in which we abide in tranquility, free from the pressures of our desires and fears. Now this groundbreaking teacher brings you his unique blend of Eastern and Western wisdom in a full-length audio workshop for beginning and advanced practitioners. Radiant Mind is your chance to experience the powerful and precise teacher-to-student transmission for transcending suffering, healing your wounds, and experiencing oneness with all that is. ungekürzt.
