Synopsis

To understand Rev. Lee, it is necessary to understand his church, as they are one and the same. The Manmin Central Church was founded in 1982 with just 13 members, under the motto Arise, Shine. The latter reflects the notion common in early churches that its members are bonded together in faith and love and are dedicated to national evangelization, world mission, and regional development. By 2006, church press materials said 100,000 members in the Seoul-based Manmin Joong-Ang Church alone and today the church has 8,000 branch churches throughout the globe and has commissioned 103 missionaries to 22 countries. There were two recurring themes during the years that the Rev. Lee and his church evolved from a small country church in Korea to a religious behemoth with a global presence. One was the constant stream of faith healing that Rev. Lee used to harvest converts and in later years, massive crusades in such countries as Uganda, India, Russia, Germany, Peru, Republic of Congo, and the U.S. just to name a few. The latter were extremely well attended ( The 2002 Miracle Healing Prayer Festival held in at Marina Beach in Chennai, India, brought together more than three million people over four days) and drew the attention of news networks worldwide, including CNN. My Life, My Faith II challenges the reader at a variety of levels, both emotional and intellectual; especially when it comes to accepting the reality of faith healing. But in the final analysis, faith is the operative word in the term faith healing and each reader is free to draw his or her own conclusions about the subject. Meanwhile, none of this detracts from the fact that the book is extremely interesting and informative and is well worth taking the time to read it.
