Faith, Sacrifice, Love, and Action bring Restoration
I was so inspired reading this book. Mother Moon developed a strong faith in God as a young child--"God is my father"--and that closeness has guided her through a course of hills and valleys that continues to this day. The word "sacrifice" is mentioned throughout the book. I found that profound because faith by itself is belief within the mind, but sacrifice is putting that faith into practice daily by one's actions. Mother Moon has provided me a model for self-reflection of my own faith and sacrifice to do God's Will. Thank you for this heartfelt memoir and its timely lessons for me and others, especially at this turbulent time in human history.
Read this then rise up.
The Mother of Peace is a powerful story of overcoming obstacles, with faith and determination. While so many in the world choose to be victims and blame others for their circumstances, Hak Ja Han shows how to take responsibility and be victorious. Her beginnings in war torn North Korea, being raised by her mother and grandmother with deep faith, to becoming the head of a world wide movement for peace. This is an inspirational story of hope and peace which will give many people the strength to rise above their circumstances.
An all inclusive plan for Peace based on Parental love.
Dr. Hak Jan Han Moon lays out a proven plan for peace that is not dependent on national, religious or political affiliation. Her path was a painful one, surviving as a child refuge in war ravaged Korea, enduring the loss of 4 children and experiencing racism, criticism and religious persecution. Yet her center is always the Heavenly Parents and the experience of God's love for all people.
An intimate view into Hak Ja Han's inner voice
I distantly knew about Mrs. Hak Ja Han, her husband, and their impressive endeavors beneficially impacting so many people and nations. I'm only several chapters into this memoir, and it has already opened so much insight into her sincere absolute resolve to offer her life to God, even from such a young child. It also helped me gain perspective of the serious challenges she faced while growing up in a war torn Korea. I can't deny that my respect for her and her continual sacrificial efforts even at such an advanced age has deepened.
Powerful
Great book. Very well-written. Would recommend. Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon is phenomenal at letting the reader into her perspective and life. She makes bold statements, I appreciate that; the world needs more people confident in who they are that can back it up with their experience and impact. This one will really get you thinking and reflecting deeply about your own life.
Fascinating!
Such a fascinating look into the life of a woman at the center of a new religion who is totally committed to her purpose of comforting the heart of God. Mother Moon's unwavering faith and relationship with God has taken her from a small village in war-torn North Korea, into a marriage with a man just as single-mindedly dedicated to God as she is. This book gives us a view into their wedding, their marriage, their relationship, and their life, as Mother Moon gave birth to 14 children, and the two of them traveled around the world on this mission, and amassed a worldwide followership/movement. When I pick it up, the time disappears. There is no one who can tell the story of the Unification Church and Father Moon's mission from the kind of perspective that she has, and it feels surreal to be experiencing her life through this book. Highly recommend it!
There is so much we didn't know
Mother and Father Moon, working behind the scenes, in so many ways have had an impact on our times. Whether it was meeting with Mikhail Gorbechev to usher in the transition from the Soviet Union to the modern Russia, or educating American youth about the importance of family and morality, or proposing the Korean DMZ be turned into a UN Peace Park, or saving the tuna industry, the stories and insights are inspiring and significant. There is so much we didn't know, and this book let's us in on it!

I am just starting to read, but each page is a treasure filled with love to God and all mankind.
The Mother of Peace Wins Over the Chines Communist Party.
On April 19, 1992, (pages 151-152), Hak Ja Han Moon inaugurated the “Women’s Federation for World Peace” before 150,000 in attendance in Seoul, Korea. In the following nine months, she crossed 24-different time zones and spoke in 113 locations. There was no rest. Nearing the end of December, Mrs. Moon’s last stop was scheduled at China’s Great Hall of the People in Tiananmen Square. It was an event that began to be very difficult, but in the end, very rewarding. Since China’s open-door policy was in place, everything should have gone smoothly. However, the Chinese military (CCP) refused to grant a permit to speak without first approving her speech. Mrs. Moon explained that it was not political at all. She insisted that the message had nothing to do with politics and that its focus was on women. One week later, they concluded, “We cannot allow this kind of content.” It did contain dozens of mentions of God. It seemed like the event was not going to happen until there appeared a shining knight. At that time, China’s leader, Xi Jinping’s son, Deng Pufang, comes to meet True Mother. President Deng was the chairman of the China Disabled Persons Federation, an organization consisting of 500,000 members. The day before the event, the young Mr. Deng invited Mrs. Moon and other Women’s Federation leaders to a reception held by his organization. It was a harmonious meeting, where we encouraged one another despite the differences in our systems and ideologies. That evening, the All China Women’s Federation welcomed us to their gathering. They never met before, so it felt awkward at first, but soon all of us ladies became friends and had a good time singing happily together. As the evening progressed, Mrs. Moon was assured she would give her speech, which she did. And it never wavered from her original speech with God being mentioned dozens of times. It was a great victory for God over the Communist world.
Inspiring! A Book the World Needs to Read!
Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon has given humankind a wonderful gift with her memoir, Mother of Peace. She shares with us her lifelong dream of ending human suffering and bringing about a world of peace. Her story of unwavering faith and love in God moved me to tears as she and her late husband endured persecution and suffering beyond what most could understand. As I read her book, I found a renewed hope in me that a peaceful world full of love, compassion and harmony is absolutely possible.

The Personal Story of an Unknown Woman Peacemaker Whose Time for Recognition Has Come
Do a Google search for Women Peacemakers 21st Century and you will find a list of Nobel Peace Prize winners and “Seven women peacemakers who should be on your radar.” But you won’t find Hak Ja Han Moon on any of those lists. After reading her Memoir you will have to ask yourself why? In her Memoir she talks of escaping from North Korea during the Korean War as a young girl with her mother and experiencing firsthand the horrors of war. Today at 77 She is known by Heads of State, Religious leaders, Economic leaders and Scientists on every Continent. She has emerged as a major force in the cause for World Peace. Nobel Women's Initiative take note! An intriguing, inspiring, heart-breaking, and heart-warming read.
This is the most powerful and amazing revelation.
This book "Mother of Peace" has brought me the understanding and the feeling of how our God is working in our time and how He has raised up people of faith to take His work of salvation to a higher dimension and becoming a living example, a textbook for us to read, to follow and the ladder for everyone to climb up to become the people that He needs at this time. There are heights never achieved by anyone in history other than those that have been raised and taught by God Himself. These were raised to be the ones to guide us all through the path of restoration. Recognizing the people of God is the most important thing at this time. They are the ones to bring forth the keys to open the doors that have been closed to us since the human fall. It says in Revelations 10:11 You must prophesy again concerning many peoples and nations and tongues and kings. This book has inspired me so much! Thank you Mother of Peace!
Empowering Relevant Hopeful Relatable
Having grown up in this Unification Movement I've seen Hak Ja Han Moon several times, but never got to learn her whereabouts. As amazing as she is and all the unrecognized things their couple has done, the thing that I found most compelling in reading her story is that I could relate to it. Perhaps if we all took on even a percentage of the responsibility she's taking for the world, we could see the world change in an instant.
Ultimate woman leader!
Thanks to Dr. Moon I realized that woman leadership is the only hope for the world right now. She is the ultimate wonder woman with a heart that can embrace every single human being. Reading this book gives me comfort, heels anxieties, and empowers me to take action and transform this world into something that I couldn't even dare to dream. The world of love is a real and attainable thing!
Need to Read !
Amazing! I am so glad I bought this book. Makes me realize that God has a dream...a world of peace!
The answer to violence
A life's story spanning from the Japanese occupation of Korea to today. Incredible struggles and victories are documented in this book. A life that is a testimony to God. Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon and her late husband have blazed a trail in this world to create true change and a lasting peace through the heart of a mother, with the utmost faith in God and all of us as His children. This book tells everyone how. Anyone truly seeking to change the world or just their small part of it needs to read this book.
Great book.
After 40 years in the movement you think you heard it all. How wrong I was...great stories and insights. Only question, why differs the text in the e-Book from the paper version? Any way both very valuable readings. Please buy it. Bengt :-) swede living w fam. in Finland
Unfathomable!
This memoir follows the remarkable, real-life journey of arguably one of the greatest peacemakers of our time. How is it that a young girl, growing up in a quiet and humble village in what is now North Korea, could find herself some seven decades later meeting with heads of state and addressing huge gatherings at arenas and stadiums around the world? This is a story of unfathomable vision, self-sacrifice and determination. As you read through this book you may find yourself asking, how on earth could any human being sustain such a high level of commitment to creating peace in the world despite the many setbacks, widespread opposition and agonizing personal tragedies. My conclusion is that this could only be possible where there is a love for God and for this world that is also, unfathomable.
Deep Insights throughout the book
Deep insights here and there throughout the book. I started a book club with my friends.
Peace Starts with Me
Mother Moon is really the Mother of Peace. She sends a message that we are all one family under God. In our world, there is so much chaos with wars, poverty, racism, and hate. However, Mother moon shares how we need to live for the sake of others and "Peace Starts with Me". We must love ourselves and others in order for world peace to come. Please read and buy this book if you want to know the "Truth" of God.
Highly recommend!
Such an amazing book! Highly recommend. So much value I've gained and an ideal read for these difficult times.
What an inspiring and powerful look at the life of a woman of God
My friends and I can could not stop reading this together. It has answers to all my questions about the time we are living in and how to live a fulfilled life. Truly the woman Mother Moon is the Mother of Peace. I encourage anyone looking to make a real difference in the lives of others to read her story and grasp how she understood God's calling upon her life 77 years ago and see the outcomes coming to fruition.
Incredible Insights!
I don’t like to read, but I’ve made a determination to read this book for 30min. everyday. The more I read, the more I was immersed in reading it. This book conveyed that True Mother’s attitude in life is the driving force in creating a world of peace. I learned so much on how to have peace within myself and how to share that with others. Thank you, True Mother! PLUS there are pictures!!!
A Great book to read if you want to know the history of peace in the world
Rev. and Mrs. Moon love the people of this world and throughout this book you will cry as you walk with them from country to country. Meeting leaders like Mikhail Gorbachev and Kim Il Sung, and how they were able to change their perspectives on life.
Very interesting story
The story at the time of the Korean war was fascinating with a good depiction. The author's life was good storytelling of the era.
A Great Woman Champion of God
In the history of mankind, God had raised up many woman champions who brought changes to history and impacted the lives of millions, such as Joan of Arc and Mother Theresa of Calcutta. After you read this book, you will agree that Mrs. Hak Ja Han Moon is truly another great woman champion God has sent into this world to lead mankind out of the darkness of despair and into a future that is filled with the brightness hope.
Perfect love for God is depicted in this amazing book.
The "Mother of Peace" is an endearing term used by everyone that meets Hak Ja Han. Her autobiography reveals the difficult course that God's daughter is called to walk on behalf of God and humankind.
It's a True Story, it's also Historic.
It's amazing how someone can have such determination to fulfill a mission, and overcome so many obstacles, even loving and forgiving the people who can be called an enemy...but a Mother of Peace doesn't really see an enemy, because God is Her Father and so she only loves! I am amazed!
This book is hope for the world!
Deeply inspiring autobiography of a long suffering life, dedicated to God and humanity in a public life of total sacrifice for the sake of others!
Great Gift
Perfect gift for mothers, sisters, daughters, wives, and friends. Hak Ja Han truly is a peace-loving woman & mother to mankind. Wonderfully edited w/ pictures and lots of anecdotal stories to warm the heart!
Bought them as gifts
Incredible memoir of an incredible person. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys biographies like I do.
Mother of Peace- The difference one person can make.
I was deeply moved as I read this memoir of a girl born in a tiny village in a then little known land of what is now North Korea, and of how now she is recognized as a peace maker by heads of state around our globe. This is a a thoughtful story of a life of giving, of sacrifice, and a life well lived. This book can give us insights on how to navigate these troubled times.
We Are One Family Under God and True Parents Came to Manifest That.
I am so happy to learn that the only begotten daughter has arrived in such a time as this to restore fallen Eve. It is the Breaking News of all time. It means that all women can follow her shining example of true love and become Mothers of Peace ourselves. If we women can do this, the world will become the Kingdom of Heaven that Jesus spoke about. I am so inspired to work with her to build this dream.
Insightful
A must read about an incredible woman!
Amazing wisdom
Mrs.Moon is amazing woman leader today. Together with her husband Rev. Moon, their contribution for world peace is far beyond any great leaders in history. I strongly recommend this book to any righteous person who really concerns today's chaotic situations.

Purchased for my wife.
Purchased for my wife, she likes it very much, would recommend, good read.
An international religious leader with a heart to embrace all humanity.
A fascinating story with a unique perspective on God. It’s hard to believe a young girl raised in war-torn and impoverished North Korea has emerged as the leader of an international religious movement. Once you read it, it’s easy to understand why she has been given the title “Mother of Peace.”
The content of Mother of Peace is astounding!
A true paradigm shift of the heart for me and my entire family! Grateful2God to learn how to be an unconditional giver of true love and taught me how to be grateful no matter what! Thank you Dr Hak Ja Han !

Lessons in Gratitude and Leadership
Mother of Peace by Hak Ja Han Moon provides new insights into and perspectives on a major new religious movement that has spread worldwide since its inception some 70 years ago. Mother of Peace reminds readers that the Korea where Father and Mother Moon's work began is far different from today's Republic of Korea, one of the most developed countries in the world. Sadly their Korea remains a divided country where the South suffers "modernization" pains and the North remains victimized by a repressive world view and by a leadership that is unprepared to wander outside its comfort zone and ponder what the North could become if it established freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and honored the sacred nature of every human being as a child of God. Hak Ja Han Moon grew up being told by her Grandmother that God was her real father. She felt so confident of that that, throughout her life, she has been desperate to help all of humankind to understand and feel that we are each God's beloved child. Just as Jesus insisted to his unconvinced disciples that they were God's temple, Dr. Moon calls upon today's humankind to learn what it means to be both God's Temple and God's Child. Through the accounts of her life that Dr. Moon shares here, she shows the impact that that understanding can have on how we live our lives. Born in a nation that was colonized by an imperial power, raised in her early years in the northern part of that nation as it transitioned into totalitarian rule following World War II, and then forced to live the life of a war refugee and endure the adverse conditions that resulted from this, Mother Moon's life has been defined by ceaselessly finding reasons to be GRATEFUL in every circumstance, and multiply hope and love amongst those who surround her and in her ever expanding circle of influence. There is much to be learned from the life of Mother Moon. At the time that her beloved husband, the Reverend Sun Myung Moon, ascended into the spiritual realm in 2012, she promised to build on what they had already accomplished together. Reading this book challenges us to reflect more on the meaning of living up to one's word.
Dedicated to God from the very beginning - This will change the way you think about your own life.
Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon's life is an unparalleled story of true sacrifice for the sake of others, both for God and humanity. Turning the pages of this book was an absolute adventure. I felt like I was looking through her eyes along an epic journey, both vast in scope and deeply personal at the same time. She is bold and unstoppable, and yet so tender and loving. In an age of such intense uncertainty, it is comforting to witness such an inspiring example of true woman's leadership. Setting an historical standard of what it means to be a true daughter of God, the Mother of Peace is a gift to the world, and she is exactly what we need now for the sake of peace. I encourage you to read and share this book.
AN INSPIRATIONAL MUST READ FOR ALL GOD LOVING AND PEACE SEEKING WORLD CITIZENS!
Profoundly inspirational, "Mother of Peace", a memoir by Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon elucidates the extraordinary life of this incredible pioneer and leader of world peace. Starting from her early childhood, throughout her marriage to one of the most successful worldwide religious leaders in the history of the 21st century, these poignant vignettes of her life and the multitude of obstacles she overcame, cannot help but move one to tears. Much like Mother Teresa and the great modern day saints, her memoirs are a living history of her tireless love for mankind. These stories highlight her work to break down barriers, unite religions, races, and cultures to bring about a world of goodness and peace centered on God while raising 14 children. This book should be required reading for every spiritual seeker and is truly one of the most important and timely biographies for our time.
"And God Shall Wipe Away All Tears from Their Eyes"
The title of this book reminds me of a dream I had in time of great difficulties. In my dream I was sitting at a special meeting and crying profusely. One holy lady came to me and started sucking up all my tears, one by one. Like it said in the Book of Revelation, God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. The Mother of Peace, as Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon is called, writes: “Ultimately a true and lasting peace can only be achieved when we come to know and understand God, Our Heavenly Parent.” In this memoir, she reveals the true heart of God. Hak Ja Han was raised being told by her mom and grandma that God is her Father. All her life, she said, there has never been a moment that she did not keep her Heavenly Parent with her. Born in what is now North Korea, she escaped as a child with her mother and grandmother, devoted Christians who received revelations of the Second Coming of the Lord. In former times before the communist regime, Pyongyang, the capital of north Korea, was called “the Jerusalem of the East” because of its many churches everywhere. All the organizations that she and her husband, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, created for the sake of peace are breath taking. Not only that, but she liberated the spirits of slaves in Gorée Island in Africa, where the slaves left the African continent against their will to be shipped to Europe and the Americas. And I was there in Austria during the liberation prayers and ceremony she initiated for the victims of the concentration camps. I wanted to be there because my husband’s ancestors were the enemy of my country, and it was important for me to totally forgive them, and also help the victims to be free by letting go of all resentments and pains, and start a life of glory in the other world. I experience the Mother of Peace, the Only Begotten Daughter, has the power and authority to do this because God asked her to, and because her life is a sacrifice of love and service to God and humanity. Her words move me so much: "We are one family and one Holy Community of Heavenly Parent. With the conviction that “to stop is to fail; to persist is to succeed,” I keep moving forward undaunted, no matter what difficulties come. I need to be a mother of love and benevolence who can overlook faults and embrace all circumstances with a maternal heart as wide as the ocean. That is why, even today, I stay awake at night with the heart to cover all the world’s children with blankets while they sleep." Now, she says, the Promised Land is in sight. When you read this book you will shed tears, tears for the suffering of all humankind throughout history, and tears for the suffering Hak Ja Han Moon and her husband went through to bring us all God's love. And God will wipe away all our tears.
Find hope for a world in need
This book will change your life. The testimony and story of the Mother of Peace and her journey towards creating a world of peace is what we need at this time in order to bring peace, comfort, and healing to all. 100% would recommend.
Great woman, mediocre book
Although this review will not appear under the "verified purchase" label, I did read the book cover to cover - just procured it from another source. I am an active member of the Unification Church and have great admiration for the person and accomplishments of Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, the Mother of Peace and subject of this book. Because she is an extremely busy woman, she does not have time to write books. Obviously, this volume was produced by a ghostwriter and someone who really should have done his/her homework more thoroughly. The author took pains to portray Dr. Moon's spiritual stature, but the hagiographic tone of the biography paradoxically does not do justice to her great spiritual depth and the very real drama of her life experiences. Rather than making Dr. Moon more accessible to readers who are unfamiliar with her life and work, the tone and style create a distance that is almost impossible to bridge. The book lacks the personal touch and flavor that are the hallmarks of any compelling biography. It is telling that the book almost exclusively received five-star reviews, most likely written by committed Unification Church members like myself. But reviews should evaluate book content, not express approval or disapproval of the subject covered, something many reviewers confuse. The subject of this book is wonderful, the quality of the book itself mediocre. All the ghostwriter accomplished is preaching to the choir, not reaching those who should be newly informed about who this amazing woman really is. One can only hope the work will be revised by someone with a better understanding of persuasive human communication.
A memior everyone should read especially the Clergy God bless Mother Moon
Everyone in the US especially Clergy, Politicians, Professors, and journalists should read this book. It is a testimony of True love and sacrifice for the sake of World Peace. It gives us all hope for a better future especially in this time of darkness and divide. God Bless Mother and Father Moon and all Unificationist may we soon see the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. Bob and Sue Exler
The power of a vision
As a leader and entrepreneur I found this memoir to be an incredible example of what it takes to make dreams happen. To read about a woman with a HUGE vision backed by 1000% commitment has been so empowering. There are so many great quotes I've written down to remember as personal mantras like: "If you want to think big, go out to sea, it's easy to follow a set path on land but not at sea." What moved me most about this memoir is her deep love for God and humanity. That's the fuel behind her steadfast commitment to do whatever it takes to heal our world and turn it into a place where every single person lives embraced in love.
The Mentor I Needed
I'm grateful for Mother Moon's story of overcoming so many challenges and yet embracing all of the world with the heart of a Mother. It's the message we need at this time. As a young woman leader I found the mentor I needed in Mother Moon's memoir. Your heart will be healed and your soul will be filled.

The most profound understanding of God and Jesus. A real testimony of living God. A must-read!

This book chronicals the life of a Family who were annointed by God to play0ne of the greastest roles in Human History. To continue and Fulfill the will of God Through Jesus Christ. To Bring the world into onenes as One Family Under God. The Book is an incrediable documented Story of Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon's calling to support and serve as the wife of the late Dr. Rev.Sun Myung Moon to unite all races,faiths,and cultures in oneness with God 's culture. Her story along her Husband barely fleeing the oppression of communism. Then in the end, bringing the Leaders of communism to a natural surrender of God's Love. This book is definetly Material for a future Great Movie Epic. This book, especially for the Historical events chronicled within this book, a must read for historians.
Risking her life in Communist Countries
Among other areas, the most striking part of Hak Ja Han's book, was her and her husband's trips to the Soviet Union, and North Korea. As professed world religious figures, Mr. and Mrs. Moon definitely put their faith in God, meeting Michael Gorbachev, and Kim Il Sung, on their home turfs. Not only did they meet and converse, they also explained that their ideology of communism was a failure, and they needed to change. Talk about guts! That's really putting your life on the line. We can all learn about courage, from their example. Mitch Canak Reno, Nevada
True womanhood
Just finished the book. Amazed about so many times she traveled the world to bring her message overcoming her own tiredness. Her view about true womanhood is refreshing!
An incredible life
Hak Ja Han Moon's life story is a testimony of what a life based on faith is REALLY like. She endured harsh living conditions growing up, poverty, witnessed the horrors of the Korean war, and was persecuted for her religious beliefs. Through it all, she maintained her faith, and she prevailed. The book provides a fascinating look into the life of one of the most remarkable people of our time. Reading it can give you a much deeper understanding of how God can work in our lives. I highly recommend it.
Difficult
Not only a difficult read but has much false teachings such as being the only begotten daughter of God and a false messiah complex. Couldn’t finish it.
Amazing testimony from a woman peace leader
With so much going on in the world right now, it can feel like there's no hope or way forward, except for rehashing all the same pains over and over. But Dr. Moon's testimony of how she has lived her life with absolute devotion to God and for building peace in the world, gives me so much hope that peace can be possible. I feel like there's so much I have gained personally from learning about her and how I can contribute toward creating a better world in my own life.
A Woman of Confidence and Vision
I bought this product back in June of 2020. It's now been over 1 year with it and I still have 4 chapters left to read. The thing that stood out to me the most was how much Dr. Hak Ja Han was confident in who she was in relation to God and all of humanity. I was also able to learn about her personality, such as being spiritually sensitive to people who are in the spiritual world. Finally, reading this book has shown me that Dr. Hak Ja Han has a sense of vision for the sake of the world that is rare to find in world leaders today.
So amazing and inspiring!
It had never happen "True Heaven" in human history. It is not a heaven even there is one person who is not happy. We have been always fighting, struggle, and sadness since begin human history. But I found a key how can we make a True Heaven in this world through this book!! Definitely, I would like to recommend it to people who is looking for the True Peace, True Happiness and True Heaven in their life.
A life devoted solely to God!
Reading this has brought tears to my heart. I'm so moved by Mother Moon life of devotion and dedication solely to do God's Will. She grew up with the belief that God is her father and with the commitment that she would realize the dream and hope of God. This book has enhanced my personal relationship with God and I would seriously recommend it to anyone looking to experience the heart of God a new level.
Her Story Revealed
Mother Moon was mostly known as the wife of the late Rev. Moon. Her life story was not told to the public until now. Her quiet and elegant appearance was shown in the media. How a young teenage girl who started her life journey with a single-minded determination to comfort the heart of God turns into a great woman who became a world-known Mother of Peace? So many stories of dedication, tears, endurance, and love are in this book. A must-read for all ages.
Immerse Yourself in the Perspective of a True Peacemaker
Every chapter is filled with incredible stories and deep insights. Dr. Moon has an incredible way to draw the reader into her own perspective, to see the world through the eyes of a visionary and peacemaker. I couldn't put this book down! I highly recommend it
A life of True Love and Sacrifice
Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon's life is extraordinary. Her blessings, suffering, and sacrifices are incomparable to others, and her life is a testament to God's Love, Will, and Dream. Her eloquent writing is unmatched and moves your heart to tears!
There is hope!
This is a beautiful book about a person who has done everything in her life to make sure that there is a brighter future living together with God. She is a example that I want to work towards for through her words we will have world peace!
Excellent book
The book tells the story of a small girl raised in the countryside of Korea (during the war), who grew up to become a peacemaker. In the book she goes into details of her amazing journey. She has visited over 100 countries during her life time bringing the peace of God with her. Dr. Hak Ja Han's goal is to turn the world into one Family living under God.
Precursora de la nueva visión de paz mundial.
Una primicia como Precursora de la Paz en el mundo, con una lógica que abraza todas las categorías culturales y humanas que se puedan desembocar. La lógica del amor, que con lleva coraje y compasión, con la misma misericordia de un amor paternal que solo viene de Dios como el origen de todo y de todos.
Beautiful
A beautiful and well written book by an incredible woman
The savior appears
This is not also Hak Cha Han’d story and Rv. Sun Myon moon’s story But also our GOD thinking. There is no peace without them.
Life Changing
AMAZING BOOK, CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER!!
What Does World Peace Look Like?
The path to creating a peaceful world comes alive as Dr. Hak Ja Han gives us the details of her life, a life that prepared her to co-lead with her husband, Rev. Sun Myung Moon, an ever growing worldwide movement for living for the sake of others. Who would have imagined a woman with a deeply sensitive mother's heart would be leading the way and succeeding to break down the barriers to unity and love in even the most difficult places around the world.
inspirational story
Great story. What an amazing lady.
We all can have a very close relationship with God.
Mother Moon as she is affectionately known leads us gently into an understanding of her life and mission. I see so many similarities with the life of Rev Sun Myung Moon her husband as well, her deep love of nature, her intense spiritual training, her gradual awakening to her true value in her relationship with her Heavenly Father. Her vibrant and deep relationship with God is surely the source of her spiritual courage and true love. In more recent years she expressed that she was God's only begotten daughter as her relationship and communication with her parent God is so deep and natural. She draws us all into this realization that we all have this potential to be filled with God's spirit and essence as well. All human beings can have this profound understanding of their value as God's children and that we can have a beautiful relationship with our God who is our Parent. God does not need to be distant and all mighty but is as close to us as our husband or wife, our parents and our children. This is my initial review and commentary having only read the early chapters of this memoir. I am sure that i will find further insights and realizations as i delve deeper into this memoir 'the mother of peace'. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to others.
Accessible account of unusual life
Great book this! It's unusually well-written and accessible for this type of literature. Very thoughtful about how to promote change towards a more positive world where I'd like to be living, and which I can also contribute to. People are asking me for it in other countries where amazon doesn't reach. I am re-ordering, another 10.
A book for every home.
A must-read for everyone. ‘Mother of Peace” aptly describes the unique life course of a remarkable woman whom the whole world should come to know.

I really loved this book and all the work she does ! I can only recommend it !

世界を救う平和の母
多くの人が平和を求めているにも関わらず、21世紀の社会においても紛争、宗教同士の争い、人種差別、家庭の不和、少子高齢化など、人々が苦しむ問題がたくさんあります。世界的な宗教指導者の妻として、そして平和の母として、これらの問題の解決に取り組まれながら、全ての人々の幸福に責任を取ろうとされている方の人生について鮮明に描かれていました。長い歴史の中、女性が虐げられた時代もありましたが、家庭・社会・国家など、さまざまな分野で女性が果たす役割は大きいと思います。コロナで大変な時だからこそ、自分を振り返り、より成長させたいと思わせてくれた一冊です。
