Product Description

Laurence Clark. Subud Voice, July 1999

'Saving Grace' has a 'couldn't put it down' readability and immediacy that earns it a unique place in the Subud canon, a page-turner...

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. Every chapter contains telling and thought provoking insights ... bearing many echoes of our common lot that compel us to look again at our own journeys for fresh enlightenment.

... an interesting amalgam of interconnected but self contained essays from straight autobiography to elucidative chapters on Subud history ,the whole gamut of Subud practice, latihan, testing, fasting , painful brushes with therapy and his personal angles on old chestnuts like Art, Religion, Marriage, Illness and Death - a kind of 'little bit of everything' spiced up with rich anecdotal seasoning.

Latifah Taormina. SICA Books , June 1999

In this refreshingly straightforward narrative, Marcus Bolt reflects on his thirty 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 ... speak from our own experience, our own self, that's what Marcus does in Saving Grace - and with some considerable courage. He's very upfront, and there's a lot of pretty direct soul-searching right in front of you. There's no separation between you-the-reader and Marcus-the- story teller. The best part is that, when you finish, you know it's not over, that this wonderful story is ongoing - with Marcus, with his family, with all of us in Subud. For somehow in telling his own story, he acknowledges ours. Maybe because the whole book is very much alive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent interpretation of latihan experience!, 13 July 2000
By A Customer
SUBUD may well be the religion of the future. It meets all my criteria for what a religion can and should be. It is the modern continuation of the Gnostic experience and relationship to transcendental relationships. Good explanation of how to do latihan--let go, submit and prepare for a gift.
