The inspiring account of the march towards American Civil Rights, as told by 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.

A collection of words and inspiration by four of the 20th Century's most preeminent humanitarians. Each book in this series features an introduction by Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
