Book Review


[Dr. Moon] has emerged as a great peacemaker and unifer on the world stage. He is a leading force for interreligious dialogue and understanding between people of all backgrounds, and for global peace and security.

We learn through Reverend Moon's autobiography that all of his activities originate from his sacrificial and earnest heart for the redemption of humankind and the liberation of God. This book contains the story of his great love for mankind and is a powerful message of hope for the future.

Dr. Moon's call for peace through religion is something of great nuance and profundity. We are fortunate for the chance to observe his lifelong struggle for world peace.

Dr. Moon's autobiography is a source of inspiration. He is driven by a powerful vision and overcomes obstacles fearlessly. From humble beginnings in a tiny village to becoming a global influence, he relentlessly pursues the cherished vision of a peaceful world, one human family.

A Deep Look into the Essence of Peace-making 
This is a must-read for anyone genuinely interested in peace-making. It is both practical and spiritual. I have read and re-read this book and will surely read it again. Each time I read it I find more jewels of wisdom and love from the life of Rev. Sun Myung Moon from his childhood to the present. He shares wonderful stories of experiencing God while being carried as a little boy on the back of his father, his passionate desire to feed the hungry (with substantial and innovative ways to do this) and loving as brothers the very people who tried to destroy him. The book is packed with real-life stories of principles of peace-making in action. Rev. Moon also tells about his experiences with Jesus that led him to live a life of sacrifice and devotion to God and to dedicate himself to building a world of peace. The book gives insight into the true heart of a man who has been hailed by many as controversial. It is touching and inspirational and once you start reading it, you may laugh and you may cry and you probably won't want to put the book down until you've finished it. -Christine R. Okano
