Strength to Love, King’s book of sermons, is published.

In 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. published Strength to Love, a powerful collection of sermons that offered a deeply personal and philosophical insight into his beliefs, values, and moral convictions. Written during some of the most tumultuous years of the civil rights movement, the book reflects King’s unwavering commitment to nonviolence, compassion, and spiritual courage. With sermons that were both intellectually rigorous and emotionally stirring, Strength to Love called on readers to confront hate with love, fear with faith, and injustice with persistent hope. It was more than a religious text—it was a call to moral action rooted in Christian ethics and the struggle for justice. The central message of Strength to Love is the transformative power of agape love—a selfless, unconditional love that seeks the well-being of all people, even one's enemies. Through this lens, King challenges both personal complacency and systemic oppression, urging individuals to rise above hatred and embody a deeper, more courageous form of love. The book served as a guide not only for spiritual growth but for practical activism, influencing countless people involved in the civil rights movement and beyond. It remains a timeless resource for those committed to justice, peace, and the power of conscience. #MomentsOfLife #MoofLife_Moment #MoofLife #StrengthToLove #MLKBooks #FaithInAction #Nonviolence #KingSermons #SpiritualJustice #LoveOverHate
