Hard Questions, Heart Answers: Sermons and Speeches
Bernice King, the youngest daughter of Martin Luther King, Jr., and Coretta Scott King, is an ordained minister, an attorney, and one of this country's most admired speakers. As this remarkable collection of her sermons and speeches makes clear, she shares with her father a rare gift for oratory and the wisdom and compassion to inspire others. The collection begins with words designed to "disturb the comfortable." Tackling such controversial subjects as our disaffected youth, gun control, and the death penalty, King paints a compelling picture of the spiritual decay and deep-seated racism that infects our society. In the second part of the book, a selection of sermons focusing on "comforting the disturbed," King's belief in the power of faith to restore our communities, morally and spiritually, rings forth. The church, she asserts, must return to its helping and healing mission, and each of us, looking into our hearts, must put aside our differences and remember that each human life is precious.

A collection of speeches and essays by Martin Luther King Jr.'s daughter. There are some good moments. The first chapter especially really echo's King's cadence and style. But it also shows its age. A couple chapters harp on the issue of violence in TV shows and movies, which felt beyond dated.

Very inspirational. She tells it like it is - we have to do something. We have to be the ones to create the change we wish to see.

Not my typical reading but one a picked up on a whim after seeing Bernice King on Oprah. A great reminder of the value of all people and inspired me to be a better person.
