Representaion Concering Books The Measure of a Man

This was a short read, taking me only an hour in the park one day. It is a spiritual essay discussing man’s place here on earth. I enjoyed it. One of my favorite parts of the book is when he talks about doing your best at all times: “He should seek to do his job so well that the living, the dead, or the unborn could not do it better. No matter how small one thinks his life’s work is in terms of the norms of the world and the so-called big jobs, he must realize that it has cosmic significance if he is serving humanity and doing the will of God.” He then inserted a poem by Douglas Mallock that I am loving: “If you can’t be a highway, just be a trial; If you can’t be the sun, be a star; For it isn’t by size that you win or you fail- Be the best of whatever you are.” Sometimes we get so caught up in where we see ourselves, where we want to be, that we forget to be our best where we presently are. Just because every situation may not reflect our ambitious dreams, it is important to remember that the climb gives purpose to reaching the top.

It's not often a book of such compact size has the ability to deliver a tremendous impact. Martin Luther King writes in a potent and eloquent style infused with divine wisdom. The Measure of a Man focuses on two points: 1)What is the worth of a person? 2)The dimensions of a complete life.His views are humbling, inspiring, empowering, and enlightening. The passing decades have strengthened the relevancy of his wisdom. This book is a shinning beacon offering guidance in a storm of materialism,

Excellent Book about Ourselves and HumanityI have finished reading this book from Dr. King that is a follow-up to his first book Strength To Love. Dr. King's words are timeless and still relevant today 60 years later when this book was originally published. Dr. King says a lot about not just about Racism, mentions how we as human beings should treat each other and ourselves in a positive manner as opposed to being caught up in Tribalism, Materialism, and Selfishness. This book is definitely a

Learn these lessonsMartin Luther King Jr. Left us wisdom and nuggets that we can use to improve our own personal lives and he!p others add value to theirs. A great book to help you get grounded in the things that are really important.

Two talks for a UCC conference in 1959. Suitable for discussion groups with teenage boys and others concerned with what it means to mature in a good way.

I gave this to my best friend a year ago, because he's the best man I know in terms of his commitment to doing good in the world. The blurb states that these two brief essays show 'the theological roots of his political and social philosophy of nonviolent activism', but I found it a bit hard to tease that out. However, I did find more to grasp onto in the second essay, 'The dimensions of a complete life': our life is incomplete unless we embody love of self, love of others and love of God. Good

I l-o-v-e Dr. King, don't get me wrong. This booklet was just kind of preachy. The irony. ^_^ I expected it to be more about civil liberties and human rights. It's more about religion.
