SIMPLIFYING THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO SPIRITISM
Understanding the Teachings of Jesus

I became a Spiritist in 1995, the same year my dear father passed away.

In search of comfort and Spiritual Peace I went to many places, many places...

I have respect for everything that is Spirituality, I respect them all, I have been to them all... but it was only in the Spiritist Doctrine that the explanations I was looking for so much made sense to me.

It is truly the Consoling and revealing Doctrine, the doctrine that managed to bring me face to face with myself, and within it, with much study and reading of complementary works, I began to understand everything that had happened in my life... those “whys” and “what fors” that we try so hard to understand.

The Law of Cause and Effect is infallible and relentless!

But it's so simple, once you understand it.

In joy or in sadness, I wanted to be and act as I learned in Allan Kardec's books and in so many other complementary books, from a rich literature.

But it is not that easy, there is no package insert, no formula – nature does not make leaps – and we need to understand so many biases that the Spiritist Doctrine presents to us and that we often do not know as much as we thought we did by reading the books.

It takes a lot of study, understanding, actions, and mainly a change in attitudes... OUR ATTITUDES, not those of others.  This way, and with a lot of discipline, we will know how to act when we need to.

But among so many things that I learned, the most perfect was the discovery of a true treasure that we have in our hands: THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO SPIRITISM.

I will demonstrate in the pages of this EBOOK, how the Gospel is so CURRENT even today. Everything that is contained there, we can bring and apply in our lives.

We will see this, chapter by chapter, with the words spoken by our Master, more than two thousand years ago.

I have always felt a deep call, almost a request for spirituality, to capture in words the devastating meaning of the word pain, I gave lectures on the subject, but, apparently, it was not enough.

I had to pass it, in a sudden, sudden, repeated and cruel way until I understand that this is how it works .... and today through this ebook, I would like to share this journey with everyone who, like me, saw their world crumble overnight. Lives facing upside down, losses that seemed to have no end, depression, anguish, loneliness and difficulties of all kinds, all in a short time.

It was days, months, moments, years, when nothing made sense, a compulsory radical change, words seemed insufficient to bring comfort, explanation or understanding.

Why so many pain echoed in silence, leaving me with the feeling that only faith could bring some comfort.

And it is at this moment of despair, anguish and pain, which I believe that makes us think, really, what faith is.

For me the true meaning of faith is this silent, invisible hug, it is this whisper of hope, which comes from within and reminds us that we are never alone. In this way, without even realizing how, the courage, of continuing to fight, believing, and living one day at a time, healing our wounds, supplying our losses and much more than that, putting us in front of the truth.

The Lord Jesus tells us so much property, "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free!" By "knowing" the truth, we fail to assume the role of victim of the universe.

We have learned that everything that happens to us has a reason for being, has a purpose, and if we believe that God is just, that purpose also has to be just. We know we need to move on, despite everything.

"Tend good courage, I won the world," he said!

And it was in the attempt to seek this good cheer that I found the strength and courage to move forward, and here I am, trying to put into these simple lines the importance of faith in Spirituality and in this treasure that is THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO SPIRITISM.

I hope that this reading becomes a daily reference for those who need hope, direction, without having the audacity to proselytize.

I just want to share with everyone who wants to know a little more about themselves, everything that the Gospel According to Spiritism can do to help us.

My only intention with this E-BOOK is to make it easier for many who would like to better understand what the chapters are about, each passage in the Gospel According to Spiritism, in a light and didactic way.

Be sure to follow the summary of all the chapters, to make the suggested reflections, this will lead you to find yourself.

By following seriously, you will know yourself, you will be in front of yourself, and you will recognize how strong you are, how many things you have already overcome, how many you have already accomplished and how many still need to be accomplished!

Keep moving forward... don't stop...

Thank you to everyone who has always encouraged me, and even to those who doubted me, because they are incentives and challenges for us!

I am grateful for the Spirituality that LIVES IN ME, and for the strength that came from it to make this dream come true.
