"(...) Death does not extinguish friendly collaboration, mutual support, comforting intercession, or evolutionary service. The vibratory dimensions of the Universe are infinite, as are the worlds that populate the Immensity. No one dies. Improvement continues everywhere. Life renews, purifies and elevates the multiple frames of its servants, leading them, victoriously and beautifully, to the Supreme Union with Divinity."

Mechanisms of Mediumship (1960)
A true treatise - with a scientific basis - on mediumship. It studies the mechanisms of the mediumistic phenomenon and explains new and valuable concepts about energy, the atom, the mental wave, nuclear chemistry, etc.
Defends the use of mediumship under the inspiration of the Gospel, which is the only one that guarantees a good outcome in mediumistic work.
Sex and Destiny (July 4, 1963)
It was dictated to two mediums: Waldo Vieira and Francisco Cândido Xavier. Taking advantage of a real story, the author leaves some advice from the Superior Spirituality about sex and destiny.
Sex is seen as a divine legacy, and the home as a sanctifying refuge, explaining very clearly that no one can harm another in their emotional gifts without later undergoing painful amendments.
The story presents two aspects: on the one hand, the guilty are subjected to tragic consequences and, on the other, the support for the defeated who accept the light of rectification. It also tells the story of delinquents of yesterday who are now redeemed, and who receive the blessing of becoming Messengers, in order to help redeem those who were once their victims.
And Life Goes On (1968)
The spiritual author presents a portrait of spiritual life after physical death, focusing on the relationship between the inhabitant of the Spiritual Plane and his mental condition01
It essentially tells the story of a couple (although with fictitious names to avoid embarrassment) and how they, helped by Spiritual Friends, dedicated themselves to study and work in order to be able to review the past and the plots that compromised them, giving them the possibility of designing new rules of procedure that will allow them to have a better evolution. André Luiz also recommends the practice of self-examination, in the certainty that life always goes on, full of hope and work.
