In reply to Mary. I don't think you'd be disappointed in reading his works! This book was particularly easy to read because it was individual sermons, each relatively short.

No, Lisa, I haven’t read any of his writings, but have listened so some of his speeches/sermons. These quotes you share…they give me reason to seek out his writings.

In reply to Alison Hector. Exactly--knowing what we know, on this side of his death, his words are even more striking to me. He knew death was a real possibility for him if he continued standing up for justice, yet he pressed in anyway. Would that we would all be so courageous for the truth. What a thoughtful birthday present from your friend. Yes, read on. :)

In reply to Laura.

So many good things to read–it’s impossible to fit them all in, isn’t it? I’ve been enjoying some hard-hitters this past month: MLK, Desmond Tutu, Dalai Lama. I love getting their voices in my head. Great examples of grace and love.

Like I mentioned, I have this book, Lisa. It was given to me by one of my best friends for my birthday. I began reading it last year but need to resume reading. There’s so much wisdom, but also such a poignancy, knowing what awaited him.

This is a true gem, Lisa. I’m ashamed to say I haven’t read a full manuscript of his work either–just essays and sermons here and there. But I love to hear his voice and these tidbits you share here are so lovely. I need to read more.
