A knock at midnight : inspiration from the great sermons of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Before I was a civil rights leader, I was a preacher of the gospel.

This was my first calling and it still remains my greatest commitment." Before Martin Luther King Jr shared his dream with the nation and the world, he was preaching it from the pulpit of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church.

Known throughout the world as a leader and a visionary in the civil rights movement, Reverend King Jr was first and foremost a preacher.

With fiery words of hope, wisdom and a passion for justice that resonate as much today as they did years ago, Reverend Martin Luther King Jr, stirred the deepest convictions of listeners everywhere, inspiring them to extraordinary acts of courage and perseverance that ignited one of the most influential moments of the 20th century.

This volume provides a collection of 11 of Dr King's most powerful and spiritual sermons.

These sermons are each introduced by a member of today's spiritual community, including Reverend Billy Graham and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
