FAQ Shop Grail Movement in the UK & Ireland

The Stiftung Gralsbotschaft (Grail Message Foundation) is the central point for the worldwide dissemination of Abd-ru-shin's main work: "In the Light of Truth - The Grail Message".

The Grail Message Foundation exclusively disseminates the final edition authorised by the author himself ("Ausgabe letzter Hand") of the work "In the Light of Truth – The Grail Message by Abd-ru-shin.

In his last years on earth, the author undertook revision and restructuring of the Grail Message with the intention that only this final edition should be circulated.

The Grail Message Foundation is duty bound to comply with this express wish of the author – as was made public by Maria Bernhardt and Irmingard Bernhardt.

How can I listen to audio books on my iPad/iPhone?

In order to listen to audio books on an iPad or iPhone, two steps are necessary:

1. Access to the audio book

2. Download of the audio book onto the device

Step 1. Access to the audio book

If you have purchased the audio book without having a data storage device, please download the audio book onto the computer on which you service your ipad or iPhone via "iTunes":

● After the purchase, register in your user account in the shop. Click the entry on the right "My Download Products".

● Download the audio book file(s) with a click on the coloured article entry on your computer.

The individual MP3 files are in the downloaded ZIP files. Please copy (or extract) them into their own file folder (directory) of your choice.

If instead you have purchased the audio book on a CD or DVD, just put the latter into the appropriate disk drive of the relevant computer and the audio or MP3 files will be on display.

Step 2. Download of the audio book onto the device

You can play audio books on the iPad or iPhone via "iTunes". For this, connect the device to the computer, on which "iTunes" and the downloaded audio book are available. Next, add the MP3 files of the audio book to your media library in "iTunes". Then, to download the audio book into it, synchronise the "iTunes" library with the connected device.

How can I listen to audio book downloads if I do not possess a PC (only iPhone/iPad)?

If you do not have a PC available, to download the album as a ZIP file and to unpack it you can download the audio book directly from the shop onto your iPhone or iPad. You will find the download links in the order confirmation e-mail or in your user account in the section "My download products".

Since Apple itself does not provide software for "unpacking" ZIP files, you must install software for this purpose later. Look in the App Store for appropriate Apps (e.g. "iZip" or "WinZip", both Apps currently free).

After you have loaded the ZIP album onto your iPhone or iPad, you can unpack the ZIP file with the installed App.
