From the prologue:
This memoir tells the story of how True Parents saved my life. As you will read in these pages, I was desperate to find the meaning of my existence and a purpose for which to live. I was desperate to overcome my fallen nature. I searched everywhere but found no hope until I met True Parents. Within a week of my moving into the Oakland Center, my parents visited me, and they could see that their son was reborn, that I had found something that they could not provide, and they happily bowed before it.
As I conclude my writing of this memoir, the South Korean government is holding Holy Mother Han in a detention center. The pure and loving heart that she displays there is the same that she has displayed throughout her life. From her childhood, she offered her life to God. Her words from the detention center, “Don’t worry about me. Do not pray for me. Please pray and offer devotions for yourselves, your families, and our community, so that Heavenly Parent’s Will can be fulfilled,” are those of Jesus on the path to Calvary, when he said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.” Her heart toward the Korean government is that of Jesus on the cross, when he uttered, “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
Jesus turned history’s greatest tragedy into history’s greatest victory. So will Holy Mother Han. From the detention center, she encourages us to share her love with the world. For that purpose, I offer this testimony of my life and family to which she and True Father gave birth.
