How Herculano Pires used to see André Luiz’s works

There are in some areas in the spirit midst people who make restrictions on Emmanuel and Sndré Luiz’s works, and there are even those who do not accept them. To reinforce such ideas, some draw on what the well-known journalist and writer José Herculano Pires would have specifically expressed about the books of the spiritual author of the Our Home series. As a result, our collaborator Paulo Neto decided to research Herculano Pires' literary production to learn how the great writer, from São Paulo, actually saw the works of André Luiz. The Special published in this issue gives us the result of this research.

The interview, given to our collaborator Orson Peter Carrara, is one of the highlights of this issue.
