For anyone who falls asleep at their church sermon on Sunday, these original recordings of sermons given by Martin Luther King, Jr. will snap you awake and stir you to action. His passionate call for nonviolence and for helping the less fortunate in society is a timeless message we all need to hear. The intelligence and preparation he poured into his sermons make them among the best speeches I've ever heard. Thank God somebody was there to record them so we can still be moved by them today.
They include "Rediscovering Lost Values," "A Knock at Midnight," "The American Dream," and "When Jesus Called a Man a Fool." Each is introduced by a distinguished member of today's spiritual community, including Rev. Wyatt Tee Walker, Dr. Joan Campbell, and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
