Eloquent and passionate  reasoned and sensitive.  \"AT THE first National Conference on Christian Education of the United Church of Christ  held at Purdue University in the summer of 1958  Martin Luther King presented two notable devotional addresses. Moved by the dear and persuasive quality of his words  many of the 3000 delegates to the conference urged that the meditations be made available in book form. They wanted the book for their own libraries and they were eager to share Dr. King's vital messages with fellow Christians of other denominations.  \"In the resolute struggle of American Negroes to achieve complete acceptance as citizens and neighbors the author is recognized as a leader of extraordinary resourcefulness  valor  and skill. His concern for justice and brotherhood and the nonviolent methods that he advocated and uses  are based on a serious commitment to the Christian faith.  \"As his meditations in this book suggest  Dr. King regards meditation and action as indivisible functions of the religious life. When we think seriously in the presence of the Most High  when in sincerity we \"go up to the mountain of the Lord \" the sure event is that \"he will teach us of his ways  and we will walk in his paths\" (Isaiah 2: 3).\"","brand":"Lushena Books","offers":[{"title":"PAPERBACK","offer_id":52437652865304,"sku":"9781639231133","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/8203\/8296\/files\/71FojSTjv_L._SL1360.jpg?v=1784924041","url":"https:\/\/lushenabooksinc.com\/products\/the-measure-of-a-man-paperback-king","provider":"Lushena","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
