A Knock at Midnight

A collection of influential and inspirational sermons by the celebrated civil rights activist and minister.

These eleven passionate speeches by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.—many never before published—are gathered together in A Knock at Midnight along with introductions by the world's leading ministers and theologians.

“It is almost as if he were preaching this sermon for us today, for it is as apt today as it ever was. . . . Spiritual truth . . . is always relevant.” —Archbishop Desmond Tutu

“The vision, the dream of Dr. King was for eternity. . . . We honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., by responding to the words of this preacher: avoiding the foolish, lifting our eyes, as he challenges us to do.” —Reverend Billy Graham

“It is good for us, at this moment, to hear the melodious voice of a man who had the propensity to reach beyond his days and impact generations. As we reflect upon his memory, we cannot resist the temptation to measure how far we have come and thereby see how far we have to go.” —Bishop T. D. Jakes
