Abd-ru-shin’s Work In the Light of Truth – The Grail Message came into being during a period of time spanning a little less than two decades. Initially, individual lectures were published in a series of booklets called the Gralsblättern. In 1926 the first, “small” edition of The Grail Message was released; in 1931 a “large”, one-volume edition was issued. Finally, the three-volume book, the Author’s final edition, was published. This is the book that is distributed today.
