The Spirits' Book
Allan Kardec

The Spirits' Book

Allan Kardec's supreme handbook about the world of the spirits and the movement of Spiritism is a valuable and insightful guide to existences beyond our corporeal realm. The book is arranged so as to pose a series of questions, which the author then answers. This format is retained for the entirety of the work, with a total of over one thousand questions regarding spirits answered. The reader will emerge knowledgeable and poised to begin their own investigations into the spiritual realms beyond our own.

Review

To know how The Spirits' Book influenced my thinking, read "Inner peace for your spirit", "On Serving Others", and "On ego and how to subdue it".
