A Gift of Love
A Gift of Love: Sermons from Strength to Love and Other Preachings | Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
4 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
The classic collection of sixteen sermons preached and compiled by Dr. King As Dr. King prepared for the Birmingham campaign in early 1963, he drafted the final sermons for Strength to Love, a volume of his best-known homilies. King had begun working on the sermons during a fortnight in jail in July 1962. Having been arrested for holding a prayer vigil outside Albany City Hall, King and Ralph Abernathy shared a jail cell for fifteen days that was, according to King, dirty, filthy, and ill-equipped and the worse I have ever seen. While behind bars, he spent uninterrupted time preparing the drafts for classic sermons such as Loving Your Enemies, Love in Action, and Shattered Dreams, and continued to work on the volume after his release. A Gift of Love includes these classic sermons, along with two new preachings. Collectively they present Kings fusion of Christian teachings and social consciousness, and promote his prescient vision of love as a social and political force for change. From the Hardcover edition.

My first peaceful rally tonight. As I settle down for the night, I wanted #littens to know I didn't do it for my political party, I did it because of humanity. I care about peaceful debate & freedoms, and you have an ally in me. I grew up in an small town, many of the citizens don't understand protesting & I've been attacked verbally for doing so. If it wasn't for opening my mind w/literature, I don't know where I would be. Thanks friends!
