The second part presents numerous communications with spirits in different situations,and which shed light on the state of the soul after death and its passage from the physical life tothe spirit life, which until then had been obscure and feared.

Practical Guide for Magnetic and Spiritual Healing – To heal through passes is not a modernconcept; it is as ancient as humanity itself. Healing is indeed a need that surpasses all nationalboundaries and can be found in the very essence of human nature. Despite modern medicine’sincredible technological advances, its main focus is the physical body. This causes the cure to beone-sided. Equilibrium is needed for perfect health and this is frequently dismissed. When thisoccurs, there is little or no harmony between body and soul. In modern medicine there is a greatdemand for highly specialized training, and this leads us to ask: who can heal? When consideringspiritual and magnetic healing through the use of passes we can safely say that everyone is ableto heal to some degree, and we will be observing this throughout this work. 102 pages.Author: Jussara KorngoldPublished by: SAB - Spiritist Alliance for Books

In the present book Prof. Herculano Pires writesabout the impossibility to conceive nothingness, and the logic of God's existence. In the words ofProf. Herculano Pires, when we apply the good-sense in accordance with our finite and ephemeralmodesty as creatures, before the Infinite and Eternity, we can reduce the unlimited to the limits ofthe intelligible reality. We do not need extrasensorial perceptions to perceive God’s existence. ButGod as Existent is the Father who Jesus introduces in rational terms, in order to guide us and toaid us, constantly inviting the whole Humanity to His Kingdom of Harmony and Beauty. 88 pagesAuthor: Jose Herculano PiresTranslator: Sonia Theodoro da Silva - Revised by Jussara KorngoldPublished by: SAB - Spiritist Alliance for Books and Paideia
