Livro imperdível! É capaz de transformar vidas como foi o meu caso. Hoje sei que Deus existe, assim como nossos espíritos(nossa consciência ou mente, para usar um termo científico sinônimo) são eternos, imortais, e ainda a prova da reencarnação que nos demonstra a Justiça do Criador.
Minha vida, como a de milhões de pessoas em todo o mundo ganhou um novo sentido, e isto em apenas pouco mais de um século e meio quqndo foi publicada essa obra magistral. RECOMENDO A TODOS QUE PROCURAM RESPOSTAS QUE AINDA NÃO ENCONTRARAM.

I am originally from Brazil where Spiritism by Allan Kardek is very big. I used to go to the temple or church or as you want to say and was engaged with it very much. I read this book several times and was always reviewing the questions and answers. It really gives you a sense of things around you, like and where they came from and why they exist and are there. Tip: if you a curious person or want to learn something different, put aside your religion beliefs for a moment and try to think to understand the answers of the spirits through Allan Kardek. I felt like I had a base for things and made them very clear in my mind what things are about. There are questions that you may be it in certain situations or thinking of it and the answers, depending on your understanding, will help you out very much. I really hope you enjoy it!

This book has changed the way I see life. This book answers every question i have ever wondered about. Since it is written in question and answer form, it seems as if the spirits are really talking directly to you. I believe in Jesus Christ but I tend to question almost everything in the bible becasue everything contradicts itself. In this book written by the spirits through Kardec, Everything is explained. I see life and other people in new ways, and I also treat others much better because of this book. From war to death, where you go when you die, past lives, and most importantly why you are the way you are.. this book can answer it all. It is a MUST read. It calms the mind and spirit while you read..

More About This Textbook
Overview
In a special sense, "THE SPIRITS' BOOK" contains the doctrine or theory of spiritism; in a general sense, it appertains to the spiritualist school, of which it presents one of the phases. It is for this reason that we have inscribed the words Spiritualist Philosophy on its title-page.
Allan Kardec is the pen name of the French teacher and educator Hippolyte Léon Denizard known as the systematizer of Spiritism for which he laid the foundation with the five books of the Spiritist Codification.

Early life Rivail was born in Lyon in 1804. He was a disciple and collaborator of Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, and a teacher of mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, physiology, comparative anatomy and French in Paris. For one of his research papers, he was inducted in 1831 into the Royal Academy of Arras. He organized and taught free courses for the underprivileged.
He was already in his early 50s when he became interested in the wildly popular phenomenon of spirit-tapping. At the time, strange phenomena attributed to the action of spirits were reported in many different places, most notably in the U.S. and France, attracting the attention of high society. The first such phenomena were at best frivolous and entertaining, featuring objects that moved or "tapped" under what was said to be spirit control. In some cases, this was alleged to be a type of communication: the supposed spirits answered questions by controlling the movements of objects so as to pick out letters to form words, or simply indicate "yes" or "no."
Rivail used the name "Allan Kardec" allegedly after a spirit identified as Zefiro, whom he had been communicating with, told him about a previous incarnation of his as a Druid by that name. Rivail liked the name and decided to use it to keep his Spiritists writings separate from his work, basically books for high school students.
On April 18, 1857 Rivail (signing himself "Allan Kardec") published his first book on Spiritism, The Spirits' Book, comprising a series of 1,018 answered questions [n 1] exploring matters concerning the nature of spirits, the spirit world, and the relations between the spirit world and the material world. This was followed by a series of other books, like The Book on Mediums and The Gospel According to Spiritism, and by a periodical, the Revue Spirite, which Kardec published until his death. Kardec thus produced the books that form the Spiritist Codification.
Allan Kardec coined the word "spiritism" and followed pseudo-scientific methods in its study, which was recognized among others by Camille Flammarion, a famous French astronomer and author, who said "spiritism is not a religion but a science".
