A retired art therapist tells the story of his grieving process through diary entries and free form verse after his wife of fifty years unexpectedly suffers a stroke and dies.He struggles through the documented stages of grief that continually fade and flare up again and again over a three year period: shock, denial, guilt, fear, anger, depression and loneliness. During this time, his past religious upbringing begins to conflict with his professional, rational mindset when sensing his wife's presence. Is he experiencing spiritual reality or psychological illusion, he questions?He eventually arrives at the final stage of grief - acceptance and hope with a possible future - after a Damascene-type experience in a church.

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.

Jon Lucke is a thirty-something adman with an unhappy marriage, a failing business and a lifetime of anxiety and disappointments - until he has a chance meeting with the urbane, ultra-rich Marco Brancusi... Jon is lured into Marco's orbit and catapulted with bewildering speed into a world of glittering success, where it seems all he has ever dreamed of is at last within his reach... And that's just the book-within-the-book, created by the reclusive David O'Connor... Gradually, David's alter ego, begins to see what he has lost in gaining a life of power and luxury; and when the true nature of what he's involved in begins to unfold, he has to make some difficult and dangerous choices. And from then on, you're never quite sure what's real and what's not... Part Faust-with-a-twist, part Hollywood-style blockbuster, The Faust Lane roars page-turningly along, mingling psycho-spiritual insight with out-and-out adventure in an entertaining and thought-provoking mix.
