GREAT BOOK,

This review is from: Letter from the Birmingham Jail (Hardcover)
AMAZON couldn't find this for me, so I got it from Powell's, a new edition. It is a classic for the ages and I wanted it for my library so my grandkids could read it. It defines WHAT a church actually is: "A church is known by its spirit of sacrifice." (BTW, in ancient Athens, the Ekklesia was the lower house of representative citizens.)

This review is from: Letter from the Birmingham Jail (Hardcover)
I have read Dr. MLK's letter several times and refer to keep my mind on track. This is my first hard copy, first edition, and I'm going to make it required reading for my kids (16,13). King asks good law biding people to look at who or what is actually disrupting the peace. He asks moderates who usually refrain from getting involved and want to keep the peace at all cost, to use their good values to condemn that which is not truley within their values. He asked them to speak out against injustice. Their silence only condones injustice and he calls them out for it. His letter should be read or discussed in every media outlet. MLK Jr was such a great intellegent peacefull man and this letter proves it.
A must have and a must read. You will not be disappointed.
