In the Light of Truth: The Grail Message is a classic work that offers clear and perceptive answers to questions which challenge every human being. Written between the years 1923 - 1938, it is a collection of 168 essays addressing all spheres of life ranging from God and the Universe to the Laws in Creation, the meaning of life, responsibility, free will, intuition and the intellect, the ethereal world and the beyond, justice and love. It answers eternal questions such as what does it mean to be human, what is the purpose of life on Earth, and what happens to "me" when I die. In the Light of Truth: The Grail Message explains the causes and significance of the unprecedented crises facing humanity, and our responsibilities to the future.

Concerning In the Light of Truth: The Grail Message, Abd-ru-shin writes, "I wish to fill the gaps which so far have remained unanswered in the souls of men as burning questions, and which never leave any serious thinker in peace."

Throughout The Grail Message readers are urged to weigh questions and answers intuitively, to confront them within their own life experiences, and only to believe that which they can perceive inwardly. Only through this process can one reach true conviction in one's life.

Editorial Reviews

Review

In the Light of Truth is a classic work written some 60 years ago [that] carries the weight of a time-tested message (one million copies in print world-wide.) The essential truth, the desire to challenge us, to confront questions and answers within ourselves, shines through. The serious seeker, the reader who is willing to make the effort this book requires, will find inspiration, guidance, encouragement, and truth. -- NAPRA ReView, Fall, 1995

In the Light of Truth: The Grail Message, which Oskar Ernst Bernhardt began to write in 1923 in Dresden, has now been translated into almost all the civilized languages of the western hemisphere, and is available ... around the globe. It was forbidden in the 'Third Reich', but was also on the list of banned literature in East Germany. These periods of prohibition (in East Germany more than fifty years) markedly curtailed the possibility of disseminating In the Light of Truth and making it known. One wonders why a non-political book like In the Light of Truth was still regarded by political systems as a 'source of danger.' The reason, perhaps, is that it sets up personal awareness of responsibility and individual freedom of choice against all conformity. Furthermore, dogmatic limitations are alien to it, since it gives a comprehensive understanding, on the basis of the Laws of Creation, of the world and of life--beyond nationalities, races, and creeds. -- Dresdner Nachrichten, November, 1991

5.0 out of 5 stars In the Light of Truth: The Grail Message by Abd-ru-shin, July 1, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: In the Light of Truth: The Grail Message, Vol. 1 (Paperback)

A friend let me read his copy of vol. I about 30 years ago. Four years later I bought my own copies, then read all three volumes. I'm so thankful to our Creator for allowing me the oppurtunity to read these works, for the Message is living, enduring and timeless! A MUST read for every true seeker! Find it, read it and allow the Message to percolate into the very core of your being. The Truth will set you free!

5.0 out of 5 stars For Those Who Are Looking., July 1, 2003

Nelson Wagner (Toledo, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In the Light of Truth: The Grail Message, Vol. 1 (Paperback)

Have you ever had the feeling that your are not complete? Are you one of those that still looking, but don't know what you are looking for? Do you feel that most of the things around this world are in the wrong way?
Well, this book has all the answers. You may think that is impossible, but it will just depend on you and how deep can you go in the content of its Message.
But to receive all that this Message can give, you are going to have to change, because you are going to release that all that comes to you depends mainly on you.
It is a journey that will give you a complete new way to look at everything.
There is no way I could describe how import this book is for those that seek the Truth, I just hope the ones that are still looking can find It, like I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars In the Light of Truth: The Grail Message, April 15, 2000

By

This review is from: In the Light of Truth: The Grail Message, Vol. 1 (Paperback)

Where to start. This work is precious and so timely for us here on earth. Having spent many years looking searching my soul and generally feeling out of step with all that was happening in the world, this work found me. I know now, it was not by accident. For in my fervent desire to live and know, my thoughts became action. At first i read in fear, fear of God, knowing that i was not working in step with creation. My spirit became light and i was able to intuitively understand things, things that had previously eluded me. What is clear is that there is a great deal of love. Every living spirit must read this work and become alive in the creation. I know not what more to say, as this work cannot be confined to words. IT IS A MUST MUST READ. I have read and re-read this work. WOW.
