The way, the truth and the life

by Francisco Cândido Xavier, Geraldo Campetti Sobrinho (Editor), Darrel W. Kimble (Translator)

This book is part of an outstanding collection, which includes: Our daily bread, Living spring, and Vineyard of light. The collection was written by the spirit Emmanuel, who seeks to guide Spiritists in the practice of Christian principles, leading them to find in the teachings of Jesus their inner transformation, which cannot be postponed. In the book’s 180 chapters, the author brilliantly comments on several verses from the New Testament. From each page spring the depth of concept and the lightness of form in which they are outlined.
The spirit author shows Spiritism duly based on the lessons of the New Testament as being an opportunity for work and growth for those who long for the renewal of their minds. The way, the truth and the life is nourishment for the spirit, strengthening it for its daily struggles.

Em cada capítulo, Emmanuel nos concede ensinamentos e reflexões à partir de trechos do Evangelho. Somos instados a pensar e a repensar nossas atitudes, nossos gestos, nossos trabalhos, nossos sentimentos. Leitura edificante, que recomendo vivamente.

Um capítulo lido a cada dia é como um remédio fortalecedor para a nossa alma!

[Nahur Fonseca · Rating 5 out of 5]

In each chapter of this book, Emmanuel selects one or two lines from the Gospels and explains it with such an enlightened spiritual view that makes us really understand Jesus' teachings and bring the message home.
