all the questions one may have with regard to the origin,

11. Medium’s Book

 Experimental and Scientific aspect of the Spiritist Doctrine
 This book presents the teachings of the Spirits on all types of spirit manifestations, the
ways of communicating with the invisible world, the different types of mediums, the
development of mediumship, and the difficulties and obstacles that may be found in the
practice of Spiritism.
 At the end of the book there is a helpful basic Spiritist glossary. Besides being a source of
indispensable reading and research for Spiritists, The Mediums’ Book is also an essential
source of knowledge for any person interested in the mediumistic phenomenon, which is
manifesting increasingly the world over, both inside and outside Spiritist activities per se.
 Since incarnates are an integral part of the exchange between the two planes of life – the
physical and the spiritual – it is advisable that we fully understand the mechanics of such a
relationship.
 The Mediums’ Book is the safest guide for all those who have devoted themselves to
communicating with the Spirit World

12. The Gospel According to Spiritism
 1st Version in French was published on April, 1864
 Moral and Ethics aspect of the Doctrine
 The Gospel According to Spiritism is the third of the Five Books
that comprise the Spiritist Codification.
 This book contains the essence of the Moral Teaching of Jesus,
thus providing a roof under which followers of all religions –
even those who profess no religion at all – can gather.
 This Book offers a sure guide for our inner reform, which,
according to Christ, is indispensable for us to find future
happiness and inner peace, a state that is possible for the Spirits
on its evolutionary journey to God only by Complying fully with
the Divine Laws.

13. Heaven and Hell
 1st Version in French was published on August, 1865
 Also know as “The Justice of God according to Spiritism”
 Its main purpose is to explain God’s Justice from the point of view of the Spiritist
Doctrine.
 It is aimed at demonstrating the immortality of the soul and its situation in the spirit
world as a consequence of its own acts.
 The book is divided into two parts:
 The first is a comparative analysis of religious theories on life after death. It discusses matter
such as the death of children, individuals born with birth defects, collective disasters, and a
wide range of problems that only the immortality of the soul and reincarnation can explain
satisfactorily. Kardec seeks to clarify themes such as angels, heaven, demons, hell, eternal
punishment, purgatory, the fear of death, the mosaic prohibition against evoking the dead, etc.
Additionally, it presents the Spiritist counter explanation on the doctrine of eternal punishment.
 The second part, which is the result of practical work, is a collection of examples concerning
the situation of the soul during and after disicarnation. These are testimonies given by
repentant criminals, hardened spirits, happy, average and suffering spirits, suicides and spirits
undergoing earthly expiation

14. Genesis
 1st Version in French was published on January, 1868
 The Miracles and Predictions According to Spiritism
 This is the most scientific book of Allan Kardec.
 It deals with topics regarded as incontestable by religion, in the light of the
immortality of the soul, unifying Christian thought and scientific discoveries.
 It offers us a unique opportunity to know and study topics of universal
interest, discussed in a logical, rational and revealing way.
 It analyses, with coherence, the origin of the planet Earth, and avoids
mysterious or magical interpretations about the creation of the world.
 It also analyses the question of miracles, explaining the true nature of the
supernatural facts of the Gospels.
 Finally, it talks about a new generation, whose rising will be the landmark of a
new Era for Humanity, based on the practice of justice, peace and friendship.
