Official synopsis Publisher
The 1970s were a time of great cultural and emotional change, which helps explain the rise of many New Age spiritual groups. Drs. Michelle and Steve Handwerker were not immune to this revolution and found themselves wanting more out of life in the 1970s.
When they encountered the spiritual teachings of Sabum, everything changed…forever. The leader of an esoteric monastic order, Sabum was charismatic and passionate about helping others reach spiritual enlightenment. Michelle and Steve were invested from the start-both emotionally and financially.
What unfolds is the hypnotic and stunningly unique story of a married couple navigating the complex inner world of a controlling organization. The more time they spent in “the House,” the more it became clear that what started as an esoteric spiritual school became nothing more than a successful twentieth-century American corporation.
Guided by the Light is the moving and absorbing memoir of two individuals who went looking for the key to inner peace…only to discover it was inside them the whole time. From the moment they fell under the spell of Sabum to their courageous decision to break away from the organization despite pouring every last dollar into it, this couple embodies a true example of the inspirational human spirit.
