Moon Il Seok, the Author of the book
While recording the trial and investigating the life of Pastor Jeong Myeong Seok, the author emphasized in the prologue of the book:
“Pastor Jeong Myeong Seok is by no means an anti-establishment figure. He is a devout Christian who has faith in Jesus and the Christian Bible. He is a “love advocate,” tirelessly spreading the spirit of love advocated by Jesus to the world. He is a “peace advocate” who had experienced the nobility of peace firsthand through his service in the Vietnam War. He is a “nature advocate” who has been involved in a church movement in nature rather than being focused on building churches as physical structures. He is also a stabilizing force who is a proponent of global freedom.”
Moon Il Seok, the Author of the book
While writing the book the author reasoned why is the CGM Pastor Jeong Myeong Seok facing all these challenges. He argued it could be that the organization faced intense and meticulous containment efforts by entrenched religious forces that believed in the dogma of power. The Christian Gospel Mission Pastor Jeong Myeong Seok could have fallen into traps set by internal dissenting forces. The fact that there are “traps” set by unseen forces is a definite reality.
