Description

Saving Grace – Fifty Years In Subud

Marcus Bolt

Saving Grace (now in its fourth edition) is a book written for those wishing to find out more about Subud, a rarely publicised, modern, yet seemingly ancient, spiritual movement. It charts one man’s fifty-year involvement through his personal take on its organisation, its culture and the latihan – the transformative process at it’s heart.

Marcus Bolt documents his highs and lows, successes and failures, the seemingly miraculous and the down-to-earth realities with a remarkable honesty, all the while emphasising that the Subud process is uniquely individual and that every Subud member would have a completely different story.

"Entertaining and instructive by turns, Marcus writes in an easy, flowing conversational style that gives the reader the feeling of being personally addressed. Unpretentious and refreshingly free of sanctimony, there is a generosity and a warmth of spirit about his narration that quickly befriends the reader and invites positive participation…"       

Laurence Clark

"In this refreshingly straightforward narrative, Marcus Bolt reflects on his years in Subud with humour, affection, insight, courage and delightful candour. There is nothing pretentious or preachy. It's all straight stuff, but straight from Marcus. And that's what makes it work…"
