Story5 out of 5 stars 25
Professor Shang Ik Moon was born in North Korea and lived there through WWII. After the war, his father arranged a clandestine escape, deep in the night, through many dangers, to reach South Korea. It was not long after that the Korean War began. He lost, or thought he lost, his whole family. A young teenager with nothing, an Army chaplain pulled him from hunger and homelessness to be a translator, even though he had to teach the Korean boy English.

The Story of Rev. Dr. Shang Ik Moon
Reviewed: 12-30-20
This is a fascinating story of a man’s journey from a boyhood of cruelty and oppression during the Korean War to an adulthood of significance and accomplishment in the “mission field” that is the United States. It is the well-written and inspirational story of Shang Ik Moon who fled the advancing troops of the North Korean army and found refuge in a US Army base and the friendship and support of a Lutheran chaplain during the Korean War. However, it is ultimately the story of God’s relentless pursuit and providential care of a young Korean “orphan” who found his calling as a Lutheran pastor and professor in the US, leading and training thousands of students for the sake of Gospel proclamation in the US and abroad. The story of Rev. Dr. Shang Ik Moon is a Christian narrative that should be told and retold (and emulated) over and over again.
