PENGUIN MODERN CLASSICS : A GIFT OF LOVE – MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.

[He] inspired a generation … He changed the course of history Barack Obama As Martin Luther King, Jr. prepared for the Birmingham campaign in early 1963, he drafted the final sermons for Strength to Love, a volume of his best-known lectures. King had begun working on the sermons during a fortnight in jail in July 1962 and A Gift of Love includes these classic sermons, along with two new lectures. Drawing inspiration from both his Christian faith and the non-violent philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi, A Gift of Love illustrates King s vision of love and peaceful action as social and political forces for change.
