Strength to Love: Gift Edition

Time to revisit, Strength to Love, by Martin Luther King, Jr.

Coretta Scott King writes in the forward:
‘If there is one book Martin Luther King, Jr. has written that people consistently tell me has changed their lives, it is Strength to Love. I believe it is 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.’
She also confirms, ‘If Martin Luther King, Jr. was an apostle of love, he was no less an apostle of action. The fierce urgency of now stood as his cardinal impetus for social change.’

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss his commitment to the truth, his leadership, his convictions, his principles and his faith. There are few men today, and certainly none in power, who come near close to his remarkable courage, his wisdom and his spirit.

Even in 1963, King could say with confidence: ‘A nation or a civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on an installment plan.’
