As a Peace-Loving Global Citizen
I had to write an essay based on this book for a competition. I won first place. Whoa!!! I won a tablet that I rarely use today and that would have been a lot more helpful for a less rich kid. But whatever, I do read e-books on it SOMETIMES!!! I didn't agree with Moon's point of view on every aspect, but it was still a decent book.
this book is a revelation of how one man heeded the call of God and was undaunted by all obstacles to fulfill his mission to share gods heart with the people of the earth
It tells of Rev. Moons early life, his persecutions and imprisonments, but always is keeps God in his heart. What an amazing man! What an amazing champion for God!

Not well written, but an interesting read. It is more an assemblage of Reverend Moons thoughts, musings and speeches over the years it would seem. The breadth and depth of his influence and involvement in business and connections with political leaders is breathtaking. I read this for book club, would not have been aware of it otherwise.

Narration Supposing Books As a Peace-Loving Global Citizen
My late mother's pen pal from Korea sent me this book as a gift out of the blue. It's a very inspiring survival/life story of a man that really loves others. Rev. Moon really shows how we need to be selfless instead of selfish to achieve world peace. I agree with him that religion is a means to an end. It often goes astray because man is flawed. I also agree that the family is paramount to happiness and peace. When you learn to care for your own family you learn how to care for others. Western culture could learn a great deal from the Eastern culture in this regards. I think the thing Rev. Moon touches on the most is spirituality and harmony. Materialism is a complete distraction from this amazing gift to mankind.Particularize Books Conducive To As a Peace-Loving Global Citizen

This tells the story of an extraordinary individual, from his humble beginnings in a village in North Korea to his work world-wide as a bringer of peace. Autobiography is melded with spiritiual thoughts, guidance and practice, and a call to find the deepest, best parts of ourselves.I had to write an essay based on this book for a competition.
