One of the highlights of this issue is the interview delivered to our collaborator and editor Orson Peter Carrara by the writer Marcus Alberto De Mario, now living in Rio de Janeiro, from where the confrere talks about his books and his work in the area of education. To Marcus De Mario, the Spiritist movement is lacking more in-depth study on Kardec and a greater interest for education, which, according to him, should be treated as a top priority.

Another highlight of this issue is the first of a series of special articles by Washington Luiz N. Fernandes on the works of the medium Divaldo Franco in the area of psychography. From 1964 until now, according to him, Divaldo has produced and published more than two hundred psychographed books, which were sold over 8 million, translated into 17 languages, a production which is only outsold, in terms of quantity, to the ones by Francisco Cândido Xavier.

Ilha Solteira, in the state of São Paulo, recently staged an Evangelization Course organized by the USE, as shows a story by Martha Rios Guimarães, collaborator and correspondent of our magazine in São Paulo.
