For the people who know his name, the Reverend Sun Myung Moon is an enigmatic person. Believed to be the Messiah for some, and rather controversial for others, but those who oppose him do they know anything about his ideas, his achievement, his life ?
In order to shed some light on this matter, a renowned Korean book editor took the ambitious initiative to publish his first autobiography.
Buddha Said To Publish Rev Moon's Story
It is very amazing how this autobiography came to be. It was published by Gimm-Young, which is the equivalent of Random House in the West. Gimm-Young is one of Korea’s leading publishers, established in 1979. The CEO of that company happens to be Madame Park, a devout Buddhist. She tells how in one of her meditations Buddha appeared to her and asked her to seek out this man named Reverend Moon and to publish a story about this extraordinary man.
Because she had this revelation in her meditation, she reached out to the Unification Church and compelled Rev Moon to write his autobiography in his own words. That’s how it came to be. It is a phenomenal book in that we get a rare glimpse into a man in the form of different stories.
As a Peace Loving Global Citizen - International Best Seller
On March 1st 2009, the book "As a Peace Loving Global Citizen" was released during a public event in Seoul gathering 3600 VIP's from Korea and abroad. This is a direct testimony of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon where he speaks freely about how his life has been since 90 years, and it is no surprise that it became a best-seller in Korea for many months! Later in 2009 the book was officially announced in Europe on August 1st, in Sevilla, Spain, and on October 1st, in Washington D.C. Now it is on the process to be published in other languages.
"When I recently read Obama’s biography I found it very boring. However, reading Rev. Moon’s autobiography has been a deep experience: such richness of the heart and life and so many practical details. I could not stop reading till the early hours of the morning."

The Peace King
The book unfolds almost like a mysterious Eastern fan, with a series of vignettes that give us glimpses into different aspects of my father’s life. It traces his humble beginnings as a little boy born in the hills of North Korea and sees him become the man whom we have come to know as Rev Moon and as the peacemaker of this new millennium.
In the book’s foreword, Rev Moon writes that, as he has been reminiscing about his life, his heart is filled with the love that he still wants to share with his sons and daughters and with the world. He tells the reader that it is his firm belief and prayer that his life and his path of love can become like a river of peace, saturating the drought-stricken lands and truly infusing the world with the new understanding of love and peace that he so longs to share.
