A Gift of Love: Sermons from Strength to Love and Other Preachings is the classic collection of sixteen sermons preached and compiled by the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

In November and December 1967, Martin Luther King, Jr., delivered five lectures for the renowned Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Massey Lecture Series. The collection was immediately released by the CBC under the title Conscience for Change, but after King's assassination in 1968, the book was republished by Harper & Row as The Trumpet of Conscience. Each oration found here encompasses a distinct theme and speaks prophetically to today's perils, addressing issues of racial equality, conscience and war, the mobilization of young people, and nonviolence.

The last book written by King—his final reflections after a decade of civil rights struggles

“Martin Luther King, Jr., was one of the greatest organic intellectuals in American history. His unique ability to connect the life of the mind to the struggle for freedom is legendary, and in this book—his last grand expression of his vision—he put forward his most prophetic challenge to powers that be and his most progressive program for the wretched of the earth.”
—Cornel West, professor of religion and African American studies, Princeton University, and author of Race Matters
