A Knock at Midnight: Inspiration from the Great Sermons of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.

Information on A Knock at Midnight from the publisher:

Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. was first a preacher and then an advocate for civil rights. This is a selection of Dr. King's most spiritual words, the sermons he delivered from his pulpit at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church and in churches around the country. The sermons are moving meditations on a variety of topics, including rediscovering lost values, the redemptive power of love, and making moral advancement as much a part of life as technological advancement. Delivered by Reverend King himself, these heartfelt words reverberate with the charisma and greatness of the man. This collection also includes sermons which have not been heard since Dr. King's assassination.

Description of Martin Luther King Jr., author of A Knock at Midnight:

Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., known throughout the world as a leader and visionary in the civil rights movement, was first and foremost a preacher. His heritage as the son, grandson, and great grandson of Baptist preachers instilled in him strong ties, not only to his own family, but to the family of African American religious traditions. This unique collection of Dr. King's sermons-some not heard since he first delivered them-was recorded at Ebemezer Baptist Church, Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, and in other churches where he carried his ministry. The power, conviction and inspiration of Dr. King's words as he describes his ideas and hopes for mankind are as moving and meaningful today as they were when he first expressed them. These sermons are illuminated in insightful introdutions written by distinguished members of today's spiritual community. Including such sermsons as Paul's Letter to American Christians, Loving Your Enemies, A Knock at Midnight, The American Dream, Three Dimensions of a Complete Life, The Drum Major Instinct, and more. Unabridged. 6 cassettes. Over 12 hours of listening.
