Every time we begin a new year comes to mind the episode provoked by a well-known Evangelical leader in Maringá (PR), who announced for some months that the world was going to end between the December 24-31, 1999, when then Jesus would take his faithful followers. The outcome everybody knows, as this issue’s leader recalls, entitled “The end of the world that ended up not happening”.

One of the highlights of this issue is the interview delivered to our collaborator and editor Wellington Balbo by the confrere Edmir Garcia, from Bebedouro (SP). Philosophy and History teacher in his city and current president at the USE from Bebedouro, the confrere has great concern towards the young Spiritist, sectors that we need to incentivize, as he proposes in the interview.

Another highlight of this issue is the Special entitled “Extremes and differences”, by Orson Peter Carrara, which reminds us that, due to our successive existences, we can learn continuously, redress the balance and make up for our mistakes. “This is reincarnation, no strings attached”, says the confrere.

Divaldo Franco launched in Curitiba, at the end of the year, his latest book, entitled “The Message of Immortal Love”, by the Spirit Amelia Rodrigues. After the lecture, which took place at FEP, there was the autograph time. On the following day, he delivered conference for a great crowd at Paraná Club, as it’s shown by Claudia Rojas, correspondent of the magazine in Curitiba, in a special story that is also one of the highlights of this issue.
