Excellent. Transformative. This is required reading for most but especially for the reader of any non-violent faith. . . "Never must the church tire of reminding men that they have a moral responsibility to be intelligent." This book is a collection of Dr. King's sermons, purposefully ordered and arranged to lead the reader through the need for critical thought and non-conformity, a call to action through love, and discussions on things, like fear, that get in the way. Undoubtedly a Christian text but respect, reverence, and lessons to be learned from the teachings of many different faiths and philosophies are woven throughout - Ghandi, Thich Naht Hahn (whom Dr. Kind nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize), Plato, Socrates, Freud, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard and many others. Would recommend for all readers looking to learn a new perspective from literature that is well researched, well articulated and an absolute master class. Has earned a solid spot on my lifetime favorites list.

[Matthew Schreiner]

King’s speaking style is beautiful and brilliant, and he appeals to transcendent values! Obviously one of the most useful sets of sermons out there. I’m a little unsure on the actionable aspects of his ethics and his arguments on communism and his “letter from paul to america” which is why this isn’t five stars.

[Ashley Campbell]

A very special book.
