How to well-manage a Spiritist Book Club is the main topic of the interview delivered by Maria Aparecida Mazzo to our collaborator and editor Orson Peter Carrara, to which it’s one of the highlights of the current issue. In it, the vice-president of the USE-São Carlos reports the victorious experience of the Spiritist Book Club “Cairbar Schutel”, founded 33 years ago in that city, and remembers something that could never be ignored by those who manage publishers, bookstores, libraries and Spiritist book clubs, it means, that we are responsible for what we are putting in people’s hands.

Another highlight of this issue is the Special by Washington Fernandez, from São Paulo (SP), about Divaldo Franco’s psychographic mediumship, in which the author reports an important testimonial given by the ex-congressman Jorge Alberto Beck Mendes Ribeiro about the mediumistic faculty of the dear aforementioned medium.

On November 15, it’s been seven years that the young Mariana Perez Nogueira disincarnated; she was 14 at the time. On November 13, 2001, dancing at the Center of Dances and Arts Adanac, in Londrina, Mariana suffered an ischemic vascular cerebral accident. Helped, she only survived 36 hours, because on the following Day the doctors declared that the girl had an encephalic death. Sometime later, Mariana communicated with her parents, through several mediums, as the reader can check out in the story by Marcelo Borela de Oliveira.
