Summary

For the first time ever, 24 original recordings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., from his iconic "I Have A Dream" speech to his stirring sermon "A Knock At Midnight," are collected together in this treasured box set. His landmark speeches that echoed around the world and the more intimate sermons from the churches where he carried out his ministry are just as moving and meaningful today as they were when the great orator first expressed them.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s speeches stirred a nation to change - and his calls to peaceful action and refusal to turn to despair or violence in the face of injustice continue to inspire the world today. Each of the twelve sermons and speeches collected here is accompanied by an introduction by other renowned theologians and champions of civil rights, including Archbishop Desmond Tutu, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Rosa Parks, Reverend Billy Graham, Bishop TD Jakes, Aretha Franklin, Senator Edward M. Kennedy, and Representative John Lewis, who share their priceless firsthand testimony on the events that inspired the delivery of King's message.

This definitive box set includes all the landmark speeches of the great orator and American leader Martin Luther King, Jr., from his inspirational "I Have a Dream" to his firey "Give Us the Ballot." Comprised of recordings previously included in A Call to Conscience and A Knock at Midnight, The Essential Box Set is a must-have for any home, library, or school collection.

A Joy To Experience A Revelation

If you could sum up Martin Luther King in three words, what would they be?

A God Send.

What did you like best about this story?

His passion. His devotion. His commitment. His honesty. His faith. His beliefs. His Dream. The difference he made to help to free black people and assisted in giving us a voice and freedom to have togetherness and strength. His memories, his vision!

What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

They prepared us in what was coming in the chapter, and what we were to expect. They prepared us and gave us a clearer, nearer understanding on what was to follow in the book.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. It was over several months... in intervals!

Any additional comments?

Thank God for Martin Luther King and his teachings, and passion and sermons. God had surely blessed this man and gave him a mission on earth to perform, and perform he did! Thank God for Martin Luther King, and giving him the gift of life.

May he R.I.P

My Journey with Martian Luther king.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Most definitely. The Journey through the sermons of this Iconic Leader has to be experienced by all who is on the road to repatriation.In hearing the testimonials of the people who had personal contact with Martin, i felt the warmth of a real man touching the souls of the world..

What was one of the most memorable moments of Martin Luther King?

The letter he received while recovering in Hospital from the young girl. The thought that a child could see the truth.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The thought of being in the audience and listening to a man who has verbalizing a way of freedom and peace. A truly powerful feat indeed.
The fact that he was only 39 years old.will stay with me for life time.

Any additional comments?

These works should really inspire any listener to speak out about life .
