A testament of hope
702 pages – THE ESSENTIAL WRITINGS AND SPEECHES OF MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.
Timeless, legendary, and urgently necessary: The only major one-volume collection of Martin Luther King Jr.’s writings, speeches, interviews, and autobiographical reflections.
This comprehensive and renowned volume takes readers inside the mind of one of the most important civil rights and religious figures of all time: Martin Luther King Jr. With precision and passion, A Testament of Hope explores this leader’s thoughts on non-violence, social policy, integration, black nationalism, the ethics of love and hope, and so much more.
Offering both a call to action and a profound sense of comfort, A Testament of Hope inspires us to keep fighting for radical change and combating the racial inequalities that still plague our society today. Through deep love and compassion, this beloved activist and Nobel Peace Prize recipient paves a new way forward through his signature persuasion and unparalleled humility. Included in this five-part volume are 57 selections from Dr. King’s entire catalog of speeches, sermons, essays, and interviews. Including:
· “Love, Law, and Civil Disobedience” (1961) and “Hammer on Civil Rights” (1964)
· “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” (1963) and “A Time to Break Silence” (1967)
· “A Christmas Sermon on Peace” (1967) and the plethora of ways religion impacted the way King led, and peacefully resisted
· Considerable excerpts from each of King’s own five published books: Stride Toward Freedom, The Strength to Love, Why We Can’t Wait, Where Do We Go from Here, and The Trumpet of Conscience.
King’s legacy brilliantly lives on across these pages, allowing us—and generations to come—a chance fully comprehend one man’s prophetic ideals on peace and justice. Collectively, we can change the world. This pertinent, powerful book shows us how.
“We’ve got some difficult days ahead, but it really doesn’t matter to me now because I’ve been to the mountaintop…And I’ve seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
Kelly Turner, Ph.D., a researcher and psychotherapist who specializes in integrative oncology, gives the reader the results of her research on over a thousand cases of Radical Remission–people who have defied a serious or even terminal cancer diagnosis with a complete reversal of the disease. The results of this study, which focused on seventy-five factors, include astounding insights of the nine key factors that Dr. Turner found among nearly every Radical Remission survivor she has studied and an explanation of how the reader can put these practices to work in his or her own life.
Every chapter of Radical Remission includes dramatic stories of survivors’ journeys back to wellness. The realization that the possibilities for healing are more abundant than we had previously known gives people concrete ways to defy the overwhelming prognosis of terminal cancer. This is a book for those who are in the midst of receiving conventional cancer treatment, who are looking for other options because that treatment has done all that it can, or who seemingly have no options left but still feel that the future holds the possibility of hope.
Kelly Turner’s Radical Remission shows that it is possible to triumph over cancer, even in situations that seem hopeless. Encompassing diet, stress, emotions, spirituality, and other factors that profoundly affect our health and well-being, Turner’s discussion of how our choices can cause the seemingly miraculous to happen will open your eyes to what is possible when it comes to lasting healing.
