This is a book that I purchased at Barnes and Nobles in the Spanish section. So far I can't find any actual English translation anywhere, so I've begun translating it myself (thank goodness for Google Translator, though I have to fix its occasional mistakes). Here is the first chapter! Enjoy and blessed be!
God is the creative force of the universe. All those who doubt the existence of god just have to look to nature to be convinced of the presence of a supernatural force within everything that exists. From the leaf of a tree to the subtle perfume of a rose, from the cry of a newborn to the circulation of blood and the magnitude of the human brain, everything in nature proclaims the creative power of God. So far, science cannot explain the evolution of life on earth, or how the first cell—the origin of life—was created. And the most extraordinary and incomprehensible thing is that everything that exists—from the smallest ant to the human being—came from the same original cell. It is inconceivable that everything that exists on earth and in the universe is the result of a cosmic accident. There is only one explanation for the creation and that explanation is the power of God. The great physicist Albert Einstein, who was a great believer in God, once said: "God is subtle but not malicious." That is, everything in nature and the universe has been created with great skill and finesse; not with the intention of misleading man, but with the idea of enlarging his mind and polishing his spirit.
God is only one. All the different religions and faiths worship the same god with different names. The Arabs know him as Allah, the Jews call him Yahweh, the Hindus call him Brahma, the Santeros call him Oloddumarel, but in reality everyone is worshiping the same force because God has many names and many faces. The greatest sin and the greatest offense that can be done to God is to deny that he is the only god that exists. Whosoever thinks that the gods of the Egyptians and the gods of the witches and Aztec Indians are different forces that are not the true God is denying the unity of God because in reality there is nothing without him. This is the first and biggest truth you have to learn to be human. God is only one and there is nothing other than God.
The existence of God has been proven by modern science many years ago. Believing in God is not only an act of faith is a scientific reality.
God is expressed in thousands of ways in nature. His cosmic energy exists in every leaf, every grain of sand; in short, everything that exists. Some substances have a concentration of energy more powerful than others and these are used in works of magic. Among these substances are certain plants, trees, fruits, roots and stones. When assembled with the magic, the cosmic energy of each substance gives more strength to the intention of the work of magic and makes it more powerful and effective.
Everything that exists in nature is under the domain of the humans, as God gave man control over the earth and everything in it. But this also means that we as human beings have the responsibility of caring for nature and not abusing it. God gave man free will to choose good or evil, but also created several cosmic laws which cannot be infringed. When a man violates one of these laws, he sooner or later receives punishment for his fault. All different religions have sacred books where these laws--all similar--are written. For both Jews and Christians these laws are in the Bible, known as the judgments and statutes. These laws are outlined in the book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy in the Old Testament.
The magic is nothing but the intention to change something we do not like in our lives or something we want to attract to us. That intention, using rituals and special ingredients, is known as magic. So the magic is nothing but the exercise of human will, which God gave us to create humans. In terms of its operation, magic works through mental power, which is entirely natural and acceptable to modern science. Magic is not superstition, it is reality.

1. God and Nature
God is the creative force of the universe. All those who doubt the existence of god just have to look to nature to be convinced of the presence of a supernatural force within everything that exists. From the leaf of a tree to the subtle perfume of a rose, from the cry of a newborn to the circulation of blood and the magnitude of the human brain, everything in nature proclaims the creative power of God. So far, science cannot explain the evolution of life on earth, or how the first cell—the origin of life—was created. And the most extraordinary and incomprehensible thing is that everything that exists—from the smallest ant to the human being—came from the same original cell. It is inconceivable that everything that exists on earth and in the universe is the result of a cosmic accident. There is only one explanation for the creation and that explanation is the power of God. The great physicist Albert Einstein, who was a great believer in God, once said: "God is subtle but not malicious." That is, everything in nature and the universe has been created with great skill and finesse; not with the intention of misleading man, but with the idea of enlarging his mind and polishing his spirit.

Many people think that so-called 'magic' is nothing but pure superstition and ignorance. Others believe that magic is an offense to God and as such is a sin. Neither is true. God made humans free to choose their life and gave them a guide; a series of laws. You can do with your life what you want. That includes magic. But what is magic and how does it work?
The magic is nothing but the intention to change something we do not like in our lives or something we want to attract to us. That intention, using rituals and special ingredients, is known as magic. So the magic is nothing but the exercise of human will, which God gave us to create humans.
