Jack Corley / Renee Corley
The story you’re about to read would have little significance if it were just about an Irishman called Jack and an American called Renee. What makes this story unique is that we had the great fortune to come to know Father and Mother Moon, whom we believe are the True Parents - the Returning Lord and the Only Begotten Daughter of God. Through their teaching, known as the Divine Principle, we understood how God has worked through the entirety of human existence to save His fallen children.As young adults, we committed our lives to supporting True Parents in realizing God’s long-cherished dream of building the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.This memoir is an attempt to convey how our lives have been transformed as we assisted in that endeavor. The many episodes reveal the consistent hand of God at work in our lives for the more than 50 years that we have been disciples of True Parents.When True Parents first gave me the mission to work in the Soviet Union, they strongly advised me to work hard, mobilize spirit world, and be serious about saving the Soviet people. From the day Jack arrived in Moscow, he also embodied that attitude.I am glad to recommend this book in which Jack tells his life story and especially the ways in which he has served Heavenly Parent and True Parents with filial devotion.Dr. Joon-ho Seuk,Former Northeast continental director,Former president of FFWPU-KoreaJack’s years of service in Russia and the former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and the People’s Republic of China are utterly remarkable in and of themselves. He traversed the Cold War era in some of the world’s most difficult and dangerous places, and he extended his tenure to be just as active at a time often referred to as Cold War II. He has a diplomat’s calm resolve mixed with a priest’s piety and faith. Not to mention his devotion as a husband and father.Well done, Jack. Well done, Renee. I know your journey continues, and there are more stories to be told. For now, however, these more than suffice to inspire, encourage and serve a higher purpose.Thomas G. Walsh, Ph.D., president,HJ International Graduate School for Peaceand Public LeadershipThis memoir is like the Bible’s Acts of the Apostles, but set in the Completed Testament Age. For brothers and sisters who worked under our beloved True Parents, this book will serve as a reminder of the miracles that our Heavenly Parent performed in the Providence. For the Second Generation, I hope this memoir will allow them to understand the life-and-death course that their parents went through with faith in God and True Parents. I am absolutely confident that this memoir will be the model for attending Heavenly Parent and True Parents for eternity. Rev. Young-shik An,European continental director, 2014-2015
