In this book titled: The Unknown God and His Good News, I want to share with you information on preconceived concepts regarding God and His Good News, religion, traditions, life, death, heaven, hell and other topics. of utmost importance that have been used to influence billions of people for many years including you and me. As well as the history and family and cultural traditions, they introduced us to “Santa Claus”, “The Three Wise Men”, and also one of the most villainous of my time, “the Cuckoo”, who was always in one of the “closet” in the room, or under the bed, ready to take us away from our parents, or ready to hurt us. Likewise, we have been conditioned to believe in ideas of people and systems, which have influenced us to live limited and insecure lifestyles. That is why I see the responsibility of sharing what has been peace, security and happiness in our lives. This internal peace that governs us is born from the Good News of the Kingdom of God, which has not been known according to religious tradition, and the dualistic, historical, Christianized and contemporary message. That is why I share this message with you, according to my “gospel” or my good news; of the unknown God and his Good News.
