I pray this book will help you come to know, as I did, that God is still in the miracle working business. He can transform the worst in us from disgrace to dignity.

Dedicated to documenting the life of America's best-known advocate for peace and justice, The Papers of Martin Luther King, Jr. breaks the chronology of its series to present King's never-before-published sermon file. In 1997 Mrs. Coretta Scott King granted the King Papers Project permission to examine papers kept in boxes in the basement of the Kings' home. The most significant finding was a battered cardboard box that held more than two hundred folders containing documents King used to prepare his celebrated sermons. This private collection that King kept in his study sheds considerable light on the theology and preaching preparation of one of the most noted orators of the modern era. These illuminating papers reveal that King's concern about poverty, human rights, and social justice was clearly present in his earliest handwritten sermons, which conveyed a message of faith, hope, and love for the dispossessed. His enduring message can be charted through his years as a seminary student, as pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, as a leader of the Montgomery bus boycott, and, ultimately, as an internationally renowned proponent of human rights who saw himself mainly as a preacher and "advocate of the social gospel." Ten of the original and unedited sermons King submitted for publication in the 1963 book Strength to Love and audio versions of King's most famous sermons are the culmination of this groundbreaking work.

Ideological Violence is dedicated to the enraged mobs who try to destroy everything that is decent and right with this world through any means necessary. Islamofascist Jihadists use bombs. So have many environmentalists, animal rights activists, college professors, college protesters, community organizers, and other leftist organizations that truly believe in forcing their world view on innocent Americans trying to live their lives in peace and quiet. Hollywood sanitizes violence when committed by third world genocidal lunatics while glorifying violence against CPAs wearing red and blue diagonal neckties. The author’s Judaism has shown him a plethora of liberal Jews that shrug off Osama Bin Laden wielding a bomb and preaching Jihad but froth at the mouth over Pat Robertson wielding a book and preaching love thy neighbor. His goal is to end ideological violence and force liberals to confront their own pathological demons and stop blaming conservatives for their own failures. Once they realize that we are human beings, we can come together and work on solutions to benefit the world. If the left insists on war, war is what they will get, and they will be crushed. If this makes him a hero to conservatives, resulting in him being sandwiched between a pair of hot Republican Jewish brunettes who fan him and drop grapes into his mouth, all the better.
