Divine Principle
The Divine Principle or Exposition of the Divine Principle (in Korean, Wolli Kangron, hangul: 원리강론, hanja: 原理講論) is the main theological textbook of the Unification Church. The text presents itself as a new revelation from God, given through the Reverend Sun Myung Moon. The term "Divine Principle" is also used by Unificationists to refer to a metaphysical concept of divine truth, of which the text is only an imperfect human expression.
The Divine Principle follows the format of systematic theology, basing its insights on exegesis of the Bible. However, it is held by some believers to have the status of scripture itself. The content starts with God's purpose in creating human beings, the Fall of man, and redemption—the process through history by which God is working to remove the ill effects of the human fall and restore humanity back to the relationship and position that God originally intended.

THE MOTHER OF PEACE
In 1960, at age 17, Hak Ja Han Moon married Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon, embarking on a 52-year journey to build a global interfaith movement for peace. Born in Japanese-occupied Korea in 1943, her early connection with nature aimed at communing with God. Fleeing war, she walked with her mother and grandmother across the Han River Bridge moments before its destruction.
Hak Ja Han Moon's leadership as a religious woman is extraordinary. She traveled the world with Father Moon, meeting world leaders despite persecution. Through joy and sorrow, they officiated Marriage Blessing Ceremonies for hundreds of thousands, launched numerous organizations, and bore 14 children, burying four.
After Father Moon's passing in 2012, Mother Moon took up the mantle, leading the movement and organizing "Peace Starts With Me" rallies globally. Despite missing her husband, she envisions bringing Blessing Ceremonies to all. The book reflects on their shared life for God's will, expressing the joy Father Moon would feel witnessing its publication.
AS A PEACE LOVING GLOBAL CITIZEN
Reverend Sun Myung Moon's autobiography, "As a Peace-Loving Global Citizen," recounts his family, childhood, and divine calling. It explores the Unification Church's early years, global expansion, and the significance of global wedding ceremonies. Themes of love for nature, respect for humanity, and unwavering commitment to God's ideal pervade the narrative.
A transformative encounter with Jesus marked a turning point, leading Moon to immerse himself in God's Word. Amidst moments of darkness and joy, he embraced new truths, becoming a man of few words.
The autobiography underscores the challenges of following God's path, emphasizing dedication and wisdom in persisting despite difficulties. Moon's journey reflects the choice of wisdom over immediate happiness, offering his life to fulfill God's will.
