The best way to learn about Spiritism is through the reading of the basic
books compiled by Allan Kardec. Inside these books we find all the basic
ideas explained graciously by Higher Spirits and by Kardec’s comments.
Some of the books use the Question and Answer approach that allows
for better clarity on sometimes complex topics like reincarnation and the
destiny of our spirits in the spiritual realm. All books may be purchased at
the Spiritist Society Towards the Light in San Rafael, California.
Here follows a brief explanation of each one of these wonderful books:
