Acerca de este libro electrónico
A landmark collection of Martin Luther King Jr.’s best known homilies and sermons—with selections from Strength to Love.
As Dr. King prepared for the Birmingham campaign in early 1963, he drafted the final sermons for Strength to Love, a volume of his most best-known homilies. King had begun working on the sermons during a fortnight in jail in July 1962. While behind bars, he spent uninterrupted time preparing the drafts for works such as “Loving Your Enemies” and “Shattered Dreams,” and he continued to edit the volume after his release.
Full Sermon List:
• A Tough Mind and a Tender Heart
• Transformed Nonconformist
• On Being a Good Neighbor
• Love in action
• Loving Your Enemies
• A Knock at Midnight
• The Man Who Was a Fool
• The Death of Evil Upon the Seashore
• Shattered Dreams
• Our God is Able
• Antidotes for Fear
• The Answer to a Perplexing Question
• Paul’s Letter to American Christians
• Pilgrimage to nonviolence
• The Drum Major Instinct
• The Three Dimensions of a Complete Life
A Gift of Love includes most of the classic sermons from Strength to Love, along with 2 new sermons. Collectively they present King’s fusion of Christian teachings and social consciousness, and promote his prescient vision of love as a social and political force for change.

Acerca del autor
The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929–1968), Nobel Peace Prize laureate and architect of the nonviolent civil rights movement, was among the twentieth century’s most influential figures. In 1954, Dr. King became pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama, and in 1960, he joined his father as copastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. One of the greatest orators in U.S. history, King was the author of several books, including Stride Toward Freedom, The Trumpet of Conscience, Why We Can’t Wait, and Where Do We Go from Here.
Coretta Scott King (1927–2006), the wife of Martin Luther King, Jr., was an author and a human rights activist. She helped lead the civil rights movement after King’s assassination, carrying the message of nonviolence and the dream of a beloved community to many countries and spearheading civil rights coalitions and foundations.
The Reverend Dr. Raphael G. Warnock is senior pastor of the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, the spiritual home of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
