About the Grail Message
Between 1923 and 1937, Abd-ru-shin wrote 168 essays & lectures, which he assembled to form the book In The Light of Truth: The Grail Message. Since then, the Grail Message has been translated into 15 languages and is available in over 80 countries worldwide.

Among all books of spiritual content, this work occupies a truly unique place. It can be said that The Grail Message gives an explanation of the World, for it offers a complete survey of everything that exists between God and us human beings.
It is the author’s declared intention with his work to lead seekers again closer to life – indeed, back to God. Therefore the Grail Message always addresses itself to the individual alone, irrespective of nationality, race, or religion. For the individual alone must bear the responsibility for everything he thinks and does, just as every man “shall reap what he has sown”.
Out of love, the Grail Message helps the earnest reader to gain personal conviction about his own life’s path and purpose, so that peace and happiness may be his. The more the reader uses life itself as his criterion for testing the explanations given in the Grail Message, the more the Truth shines forth from it.
THE AUTHOR WRITES:
“I wish to fill the gaps which have so far always remained unanswered in the souls of men as burning questions, and which never leave any serious thinker in peace, if he honestly seeks the Truth.”
“In order to convey to mankind such knowledge, which gives them a clear and intelligible conviction of the working of God in His Justice and Love, I have written the work ‘In the Light of Truth’.”
Final Edition
The present-day edition of the Grail Message – collecting 168 lectures into 3 volumes – was first published in Germany in 1950. It is the last of several editions arranged by the author over the course of his life, as he continually developed and refined his work.
