The life of someone like Dr King throws that into sharp relief.<BR/><BR/>I've been asked for further resources regarding the life and teaching of Dr King. I'd recommend looking online - there's stacks out there, and much of the archives is onlione now. If you like good old-fashioned books then maybe <I>A Knock at Midnight</I> which is a collection of sermons, and <I>the Autobiography of Martin Luther King Jnr</I> which is a compilation of his teaching, diaries and speeches edited together to make his biography in his own words. Both of these are edited by Claybourne Carson who's had great access to the King archives.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12511575294809131898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6968069.post-88653269672144354632008-04-08T09:21:00.000+01:002008-04-08T09:21:00.000+01:00Thanks Jonathan for the posts.

It seems that much of our desire for a position of closeness to Jesus stems from our basic need for comfort and assurance and possibly status within our church communities, rather than from a love of and desire to allign oneself with the transforming work of Jesus in the world. King's words resound with me because they were backed up by very pratical and consitent action.
