Discover the untold story of Hak Ja Han Moon, the North Korean village girl who is now known to millions as the Mother of Peace. Her heart-wrenching story reveals details of a war-torn childhood and trials of faith as she and her late husband, Rev. Sun Myung Moon, built a vast and still-growing international movement capable of fulfilling God’s will for peace in the 21st century.
A major milestone of her life, described in never-told-before detail, was her marriage in 1960, at age 17, to the charismatic Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon. For the next 52 years, she joined him in the daunting task of building a global interfaith movement to fulfill God’s will for peace in the 21st century.
Mother Moon’s journey as a religious woman leader is breathtaking: Born in Japanese-occupied Korea in 1943, she spent her early life in nature so she could commune with God. War forced her to flee south with her mother and grandmother; they crossed the Han River Bridge minutes before it was destroyed.
Later, she walked and worked side-by-side with Father Moon, one of history’s most energetic and visionary men. They visited every corner of the earth and, despite relentless persecution, met with world leaders, including Mikhail Gorbachev and Kim Il Sung, to bring God’s message for them.
During this time, she bore 14 children and buried four. She stood with Father Moon for hours as they officiated at Marriage Blessing Ceremonies for hundreds of thousands of couples. Together, they launched hundreds of organizations and businesses to serve youth, family and peacemaking.
Since Father Moon’s passing in 2012, Mother Moon has shouldered the leadership of their still-growing movement. She has led “Peace Starts With Me” rallies in six continents and plans to bring Blessing Ceremonies to all people.
“As I complete this book, one person I dearly miss at this moment is my beloved husband, Father Sun Myung Moon. We spent our lives together to convey and accomplish God’s will … If he were here to witness the publication of this book, his face would shine with a joy greater than that of anyone else. The sparkle in his eyes is dancing in my heart today. I hope that this book will reveal a taste of our life spent together for God’s will.”

Review
This inspiring memoir reveals the Divine heart within our beloved True Mother, the only begotten Daughter, and describes her true love in building the Holy Community on earth. -- Dr. Luonne Abram Rouse, National Co-Chairman, ACLC & Minister Marie L. Rouse
Mother Moon is bringing God's message to the world, and works to help marriages and families survive during these troubled times, bringing all nations and religions together to achieve world peace. -- Hon. Dan Burton, U.S. House of Representatives, (1983-2013); International Co-Chairman, IAPP & Dr. Samia Burton, M.D.
Mother Moon's memoir is one of a life lived in total devotion to God and humanity. It comes at a time when our fragmented world is in dire need for a comprehensive view of world peace. This book is a must-read for all. -- H.E. Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, GCFR President, Nigeria (2009 -2015), Chair, International Summit Council for Peace (ISCP) Africa
Mother Moon's endless work for peace is an example to follow, especially her constant struggle for preserving the traditional family unit, teaching our children moral and spiritual values and putting God, love and peace at the center of our everyday life. -- Hon. Maria Fernanda Flores, First Lady, Nicaragua (1999-2002)
We politicians don't always succeed in fulfilling our commitments. Dr. Moon is not a politician; she is a private person. Thus, she could have chosen a very comfortable life; however, she chose to act. -- H.E. Dalia Itzik, President (2007), Israel
The book is a must read for all who are advocates for a peaceful world. It comes at a time when our fragmented world is in dire need for a comprehensive view of world peace. -- H.E.

Dr. Moon's initiatives bring together all the actors of the international community and of social and family life around the ideals of peace, harmony and shared prosperity. She is truly recognized as the mother of peace. -- H.E. Brigi Rafini, Prime Minister and Head of the Government of Niger
During these extraordinary times when divisiveness, hate, and a climate of fear threaten global unity and international discourse, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon is a beacon of hope to those who continue to believe that long-lasting peace is an attainable goal and not just a dream. -- H. E. Leni Robredo, Vice President of the Philippines
For many years, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon has been motivated by a deep heart and wonderful impulse of generosity, and has dedicated much time and effort to contribute to peace and the welfare of humankind. She has a unique ability to care for people while also bringing comfort to others to build a community of love and solidarity. -- H.E. President Macky Sall, President of the Republic of Senegal
Unique to Dr. Moon's vision is her appreciation for the contribution of faith leaders and Godly principles as cornerstones in the foundations for peace. What has been most special in this work over the years is the intentional effort to bring heads of state and members of parliaments together with faith leaders and break through racial and cultural barriers to see the solutions that are possible. -- Hon. Matt Salmon, Vice President of Government Relations, Arizona State University; US House of Representatives (1995-2001 and 2013-2017)
Dr. Moon has been a role model for women around the globe as she has worked for world peace. Her dedication to re-establishing the family as the most important building block of strong and peaceful societies may be her most important and lasting legacy. -- Hon. Ellen Sauerbrey, former Assistant Secretary of US State Department's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration

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.
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!
This memoir by Dr Hak Ja Han Moon shows that she is also a historical figure, not just from Korea but of the world.
I look forward to a second memoir from her.
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!

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.
