Book Description
Were you ever approached in, say, Pisa, in the late 1970s by a neatly dressed German girl offering you a magazine and asking you for money for her Church?

She could well have been Dagmar, the author of these fascinating tales of a young lady swept up in the enthusiasm of a new life with the Unification Church, as she followed the father, Rev. Sun Myung Moon, on his special path to world peace and unity through Christian worship.

What makes young people devote their lives to such a cause - or a new religion? Living austere and disciplined lives, fundraising all over Europe, fasting and praying and finally, getting married - all this because `Father knows best!'

Well, it was the international atmosphere, the strong bonds of friendship, and the desire to change the world, says the author, and, quoting a kindly Catholic priest in Nurtingen, `You are wrapped up in the fire of first love'.

Has the love survived? Read Dagmar Corales' stories of selflessness, optimism and spiritual grace, and decide for yourself. ... Read more

From the supplier: The Protestant Church in the former East Germany was once considered to be a source of opposition to the communist regime. In the 1950s, Christians were persecuted and church activities were controlled. Church leaders were in constant conflict with the policies of the former Socialist Unity Party which censored any religious instruction in public schools. As resistance to a communist form of government increased and ultimately led to reunification with West Germany, many resisters began to perceive that the Church had not done as much as it could.

Product Description
Many may think of the church mission only in terms of spreading the gospel to the end of the earth. It is true that is one of the most important missions of the church, but there are two more important missions to finish during the Churrch Age before the rapture takes place.Author Young Gil Gohng shares his thoughts on the missions of the Christian Church in this thought-provoking study of the Bible. The first mission of the Church is to discipline believers to become perfect men to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. The second mission is to spread the Gospel to the end of theearth.Gohng believes the third and last mission of the church is to arouse Israel to godly jealousy so that Israel may return to Jesus. This is the most important one of all because the salvation of the world depends on it. He also believes that the task will not be easy but onerous and requires the "Axis of God" against Anti-Christ's "Axis of Evil" in order to prevail. Delve into Why Korea?, and discover how biblical teachings pertain to the third mission of the Church, and connected to North Korea. ... Read more
