Reverend Moon has spoken extensively throughout his life. Even if only one or two people were present, he would speak for the whole night. He would passionately speak the truth in front of a few as if he were addressing thousands. Reverend Moon has put his whole heart into teaching. Besides speaking to his followers, Reverend Moon has spoken a great deal to the public and to leaders of religion, science, politics, education, media and culture. In speaking directly with groups transcending the boundaries of nation, race and religion, Reverend Moon has established an incomparable record as a prolific speaker....
We are attempting to convey his words in their original, unedited form... His words convey the urgent feeling of God¹s providence and Heaven¹s sincere heart. In order not to lose this, we have preserved the style of speech and some of the informal dialogue.
Reverend Moon¹s sermons continue to be transcribed from recordings and have been published thus far in 233 volumes. We are translating his speeches into many languages and are making them accessible on CD-Rom... In this fifteen-book series we have selected and arranged excerpts from the 233 volumes, according to subject, so that people from all walks of life can understand and appreciate them....
I want to salute and express my thanks to those who worked in the translation and editing of these volumes. We pray that in studying and practicing the words in these books, you will experience the grace and blessings of the God who has been living, breathing and working with us throughout history.
