    Lolly Scramble: A Memoir of Little Consequence , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 473min
    Comedian Tony Martin has strip-mined his often unremarkable life to tell 16 small tales fraught with laughter and detail. Choosing to ignore his many dubious achievements in the world of Australian show business (Martin/Molloy, The Late Show) and a short-lived but torrid affair with Sharon on Kath & Kim, New Zealand-born Martin instead recalls dozens of tiny life-changing moments that, frankly, could have happened to anybody.In a damning personal testimony spanning nearly 40 years on both sides of the Tasman, Martin wreaks havoc as an apprentice props man in amateur theatre, attempts to corrupt his school's "weird religious kid", tries vainly to seduce an unwilling babysitter, turns an entire tour bus against him, battles an addiction to Donkey Kong, seeks to master the art of "kerning" under the tutelage of a tyrannical Geordie, and is forced to donate an unfeasible amount of blood in an attempt to save his own life.Reprinted five times since its publication in 2005, this cult classic is available for the first time in audio form, with the author doing all the voices, including his own."Everyone who reads it agrees it should never have ended. Brilliant and funny." (PopMatters, "The Best Non-Fiction Books of 2005") ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tony Martin. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/225531/bk_acx0_225531_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Das ABC des spirituellen Heilens
    »Gott ist das Wort und das Wort sind die Buchstaben. Sie sind die Elemente des Denkens, das Wesen unserer inneren Kräfte und sind im Gegensatz zum Stofflichen unvergänglich.« schrieb der Theosoph J. B. Kerning, der sich mit Buchstabenübungen selbst von schwerer Krankheit heilte.Das »heilsame Wort« steht im Mittelpunkt dieses Buchs. Harald Knauss, bekannter Heiler und Medium, erhielt durch seine geistigen Helfer Paracelsus, Veleda und Meister Li Textinspirationen zu allen Buchstaben des Alphabets. Jeder Buchstabe birgt in sich eine ganz eigene Kraft. Die Texte dienen als Meditationsvorlage für Heiler und vermitteln die wichtigsten Regeln spirituellen Heilens.Als eine Art Vademecum spricht das Werk die wesentlichen Kräfte und die seelisch-geistige Haltung des Heilers an und erschließt persönliche Quellen der Heilkraft. Die wundervollen Bilder zu jedem Buchstaben helfen, die Energie der Texte auch visuell zu befördern. Ein berührendes Buch für alle, die sich mit dem Thema Heilung und Heilwerden befassen und dem Wort von Paracelsus folgen: »Der äußere Arzt vermag nichts ohne den inneren.«
