A Knock at Midnight Inspiration from the Great Sermons of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Warner Books Inc
- Publish date: 04/01/1998
Many of the sermons are new versions, uncovered by Clayborne Carson at The King Paper Project at Stanford University. They include moving meditations on a variety of universal topics, including rediscovering lost values, the redemptive power of love, and making moral advancement as much a part of our lives as technological advancement. The emphasis is on individual improvement and growth that can result in mountain-moving strength.
In "Loving Your Enemies" Dr. King tells the story of the man who berated Abraham Lincoln publicly before his election...and how Lincoln made him Secretary of War once he became President despite. When Lincoln died, that same man was his biggest supporter.
In "The Three Dimensions of a Life" Dr. King warns not to try to be a Cadillac if you're really a Ford. If you do, you won't be able to get into those small parking spaces that a Cadillac will never get into.
Each sermon will include an introduction from one of the great ministers and theologians of the world, reflecting on the present day relevance of King's words and remembrances of Dr. King's delivery of the sermons.
