2281574Harper & Row 1963. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good. First edition stated with $3.50 price on jacket. Owner bookplate remnant on front endpaper reverse of jacket foxed jacket a bit rubbed. 1963 Hard Cover. x 2 146 2 pp. 8vo. King's second book a collection of sermons preaching the value of love and nonviolence and urging the sort of mutual understanding and respect King spoke about during his speeches as a civil right activist. "If there is one book Martin Luther King Jr. has written that people consistently tell me has changed their lives it is Strength to Love." So wrote Coretta Scott King. She continued: "I believe it is because this book best explains the central element of Martin Luther King Jr.' s philosophy of nonviolence: His belief in a divine loving presence that binds all life. By reaching into and beyond ourselves and tapping the transcendent moral ethic of love we shall overcome these evils." In these short meditative and sermonic pieces some of them composed in jails and all of them crafted during the tumultuous years of the Civil Rights struggle Dr. King articulated and espoused in a deeply personal compelling way his commitment to justice and to the intellectual moral and spiritual conversion that makes his work as much a blueprint today for Christian discipleship as it was then. Individual readers as well as church groups and students will find in this work a challenging yet energizing vision of God and redemptive love. Harper & Row hardcover books

18467779Boston: T. R. Marvin 1846. First Edition. Original black blind stamped cloth boards with binder's title in gilt. Tips and edges of spine chipped corners bumped and rubbed else very good. Luther Dimmick 1790-1860 clergyman and writer was born in Shaftsbury Vermont graduated from Harvard Divinity School and served as the pastor of North Church in Newburyport Massachusetts. As a writer he focused on religious topics publishing many of his sermons given at North Church. His published sermons covered a range of topics and themes from funeral eulogies and reflections on Christian scholarship and daily life to essays on the moral aspects of temperance. Although it too has a religious theme his MEMOIR OF MRS. CATHARINE M. DIMMICK is a departure from his other work. It was never a sermon written instead as a spiritual biography of and a memorial to his late wife Catharine Mather Marvin Dimmick 1793-1844. Mrs. Dimmick was born in Norwich Connecticut into a prominent family with colonial roots. Her father died when she was a child and her mother died when she was a teenager and shortly after her mother's death she became a school teacher. She would later move to Newburyport and while attending North Church she met Reverend Dimmick. The two married May 4 1820 and from then until December 8 1844 when Catharine died from liver disease the couple lived a life centered around their shared faith and commitment to ministry. While narrated objectively and with a degree of distance MEMOIR OF MRS. CATHARINE M. DIMMICK is a tenderly written and intimate account of the spiritual life and daily thoughts and concerns of Mrs. Dimmick. Reverend Dimmick uses excerpts from his wife's journals and letters and reflections and comments from his wife's friends and acquaintances as well as his own remembrances to create this memoir. He presents the life of his wife as a model clergyman's wife and as the embodiment of Christian principles. A writer in a review of the book in the October 1846 issue of NEW ENGLANDER AND YALE REVIEW says of Mrs. Dimmick: "She seems to have been a lady of a superior and very active mind and of more than ordinary devotion to the various and trying duties that fall to the lot of a pastor's wife."
