Book Release: The Pathway to Peace, Hope and True Love: A Spiritual Journey

This book was created as a way to share the heart of God and his love for each of us, and to share what our True Parents really did in America beyond the media hype. The following is a short excerpt from the book:

Even though I had been selling ginseng during the day, one night I was asked to lead a fundraising team in the evenings. We needed to cover our living expenses and selling ginseng could be inconsistent. I had never led an entire fundraising team before and didn’t have the confidence to say yes, feeling I would fail at this. I went to the prayer room to ask for God’s help. I went to the prayer room to ask for God’s help.

I sat with my knees underneath me and my head bowed to the floor in deep prayer. Suddenly, I felt God’s presence in the room. It was as though God sucked all the air out of the room, and I could barely breathe. God had taken His love out of the air, and it felt like I was suffocating. God seemed to be standing on top of me, holding down my body until I relented and said I would lead the team. God also showed me in that moment the kind of pain He was in every day, watching His children hurt each other. I realized He had so few people who deeply understood His pain or His love, and who could help Him share that love with humanity. He needed me to stretch beyond my limitations. I felt so ashamed for being afraid to try anything new in the face of the pain God was experiencing; I began to weep deeply in repentance. God’s heartbreak was so immense, excruciating, and endless. I begged Him to stop showing me this and promised that whatever He asked, I would do from now on. I learned then that if God can give me air to breathe, He was capable of giving me what I needed to lead a fundraising team or to face any other challenge. After I made that promise, the pain God was showing me, the vision of the world’s desperate and miserable situation, stopped. Air rushed into my lungs and love surrounded me again. From then on, I tried not to question what God asked of me. Sometimes the sacrifice seemed too great. However, through that experience I learned that whatever was being asked, I had to figure out a way to get it done. Even if I didn’t believe in myself, God believed in me.
