Description

“Thou, Dear God” is the first and only choice of sixty-eight prayers by Martin Luther King, Jr. Arranged thematically in six parts–with prayers for spiritual guidance, special occasions, times of adversity, times of trial, uncertain times, and social justice–Baptist minister and King scholar Lewis 1st Earl Baldwin of Bewdley introduces the book and each and every section with short essays. Included are both personal and public prayers King recited as a seminarian, graduate student, preacher, pastor, and, in spite of everything, civil rights leader, in conjunction with a special section that reveals the biblical sources that most inspired King. Collectively they illustrate how King turned to private prayer for his own spiritual fulfillment and to public prayer with the intention to move, inspire, and reaffirm a quest for peace and social justice. With a foreword by Rev. Dr. Julius R. Scruggs, it’s the easiest gift for people and leaders of all faiths, and an invaluable resource for spiritual individuals and those that lead worship.

The book includes a very rare, very limited use photo of Dr. King praying and gold foil stamping on the front cover, a frontispiece photo of the King circle of relatives at prayer, a prayer ribbon, and elegant endpapers.
