Inhaltsangabe

This is an inspirational novel with a profound spiritual message.

Evelyn is sick, very sick, and her condition calls for immediate medical attention. Tragically, her illness is only the latest in a lifelong series of crises. As a child she had been orphaned by the death of her father; as a young woman one of her lovers had killed himself. And just recently her much-loved husband had run away from her illness and from her--into the arms of a younger woman.

Now Evelyn is determined to fight back, to undergo an operation that if it fails might kill her, but if successful will give her life a new direction. In the aftermath of the surgery, everything seems to go well. Then she has one more terrible attack.

Coming to herself in a hospital room, she feels oddly healthy, energetic, confident. But the world she has always known and trusted is different somehow. Her relatives are not allowed to visit her, the state of her soul seems to be more important to her doctors than the state of her body, and the people around her hint that they aren't living on Earth anymore.

Thus begins Evelyn's experience of a new realm of awareness, and her discovery that her heart needs a love greater than the love she has known. In reaching toward that love, and in gaining the courage to know herself and others honestly, she also finds a friend to walk this new path with her.

This inspirational novel by André Luiz, physician and poet, who writes through the pen of F. C. Xavier, gently awakens us to the rich meaning of life, friendship, and love. In it, we find that life is a journey on which we add to and recreate our innermost selves--in effect designing our own path toward the goal of love each of us seeks.

This is a true story that illuminates life. In Evelyn's courage you will discover the force of faith, and traces of the invisible design that guides every person's return to love.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Francisco Cândido Xavier, the famous Brazilian medium known affectionately in Brazil and throughout Latin America as Chico Xavier, was born in the city of Pedro Leopoldo, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, on April 2, 1910. His formal education is basic: he completed only elementary school. Thereafter, at the age of fourteen, he started working full time to help support his family. He retired in 1958 after working for thirty years as a clerk typist for the local government.

Through his amazing paranormality, spiritual authors have dictated works covering a vast range of subjects: from poetry to historical romances to scientific tomes. His first book, published in 1932, was a collection of poems by deceased great masters; it created a true revolution in the literary circles of Brazil and Portugal. However, his greatest contribution, a new vision of Christianity, came through the series of books authored by Emmanuel, who produced historical romances, and André Luiz, who wrote of the life after life. In addition to his work as a medium, Chico has dedicated his life to Jesus, and through his immense charitable work has become known and respected throughout the world among all the religious schools. He was recommended for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.

Chico has channeled more than 400 books since 1927, and is the most published author in Brazil today. He has ceded the copyright to his books to charitable organizations.
