The Spirits' Book The Principles of Spiritism - Spiritist Codification - Volume 1
Author: Allan Kardec

Second Revised Edition — New Table of Contents, New Layout — The Spirits' Book can and often does transform lives. It contains over 1,000 clear, coherent and logical answers to questions covering the most perplexing issues such as the nature of Spirits, their manifestations within the physical realm and how they relate to human beings; moral laws,... more » the present and future life and destiny of humankind. You too would ask these questions if you had the opportunity to speak to enlightened minds as the ones that wrote this book. ?Certainly, nature has not revealed all its secrets to humanity? Kardec wrote. However, The Spirits' Book is a good start for our inquiries. It is one of the cornerstones of Spiritism. Its objective is to open minds, instruct and improve consciousness.
