Francisco (Chico) Xavier
And
Life Goes On
by Francisco Xavier
Book description: This inspirational novel by André Luiz, physician and poet, who writes through the pen of F. C. Xavier, gently awakens us to the rich meaning of life, friendship, and love. In it, we find that life is a journey on which we add to and recreate our innermost selves--in effect designing our own path toward the goal of love each of us seeks. This is a true story that illuminates life. In Evelyn's courage you will discover the force of faith, and traces of the invisible design that guides every person's return to love.
Nosso
Lar: A Spiritual Home
by Francis Xavier
Book description: This is the first book dictated by André Luiz, a discarnate soul, to Francisco C. Xavier, one of the most productive mediums and inspirational writers of our time. In this partnership, Andre Luiz acts as a reporter on conditions in the spirit world, revealing details of its life, people, places, and organization. He does so through the lens of his reflections on his own after-death experience, and his struggles to make sense of his new reality.

In The Night:
Spiritism In Brazil
by David J. Hess
Hess, an
anthropologist, takes us on a spiritual journey through Brazil's eclectic
mystical religions. He covers Spiritism, Kardecism, Umbanda, Candomble and other
alternative religions, some with roots in Africa, others of more recent vintage.
He emphasizes how race and social class are reflected in the sectarian divisions
among these various groups. He also writes of his own personal spiritual search,
and of his encounters with such startling phenomena as exorcism, the removal of
cysts by psychic surgery, spirit mediums and poltergeists.
