Dr. King began working on sermons for Strength to Love, a volume of his most well-known homilies during a fortnight in jail in July 1962. While behind bars, he spent uninterrupted time preparing the drafts for works such as "Loving Your Enemies" and "Shattered Dreams," and he continued to edit the volume after his release.

Revised in a fresh new edition, A Gift of Love includes these classic sermons, along with two new sermons. Purchase today.

This treasured collection includes images by legendary photographers and is an unparalleled photobiography that presents intimate moments from King's personal and public journey.

Triumphant events like King delivering his "I Have a Dream" speech and marching in Montgomery are beautifully captured, as are private moments of him reflecting on his Nobel Peace Prize or working in his study. Purchase today.
