Description

“If there may be one book Martin Luther King, Jr. has written that people consistently tell me has changed their lives, it’s Strength to Love.”

So wrote Coretta Scott King. She continued: “I consider it’s because this book best explains the central element of Martin Luther King, Jr.’ s philosophy of nonviolence: His belief in a divine, loving presence that binds all life. That insight, luminously conveyed in this classic text, here presented in a new and attractive edition, hints at the personal transformation at the root of social justice: ” By reaching into and beyond ourselves and tapping the transcendent moral ethic of love, we will overcome these evils.”

In these short meditative and sermonic pieces, some of them composed in jails and all of them crafted right through the tumultuous years of the Civil Rights struggle, Dr. King articulated and espoused in a deeply personal compelling way his commitment to justice and to the intellectual, moral, and non secular conversion that makes his work as much a blueprint lately for Christian discipleship as it used to be then.

Individual readers, in addition to church groups and students will find in this work a challenging yet energizing vision of God and redemptive love.
