A powerful collection of sermons by Martin Luther King, Jr., published in Penguin Modern Classics for the first time

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.

Martin Luther King's early words return to us today with enormous power, as profoundly true, as wise and inspiring, now as when he wrote them
