Based on years of original research; Never to Leave Us Alone is the first book-length treatment of the prayer life of the famed religious and civil rights leader. Drawing on personal prayers that King recited as a seminarian and graduate student; preacher; pastor; and then civil rights leader; award-winning historian Lewis Baldwin explains how King turned to both private prayer and meditation for his own spiritual fulfillment; and to public prayer as part of his sermonic discourse; as an aspect of his pastoral care; and as a way of moving; inspiring; and reaffirming people in the context of a crusade for equal rights; social justice; and peace. In the end; Baldwin argues; King's prayer life and reflections offer important keys not only to King the man but also to our own cultivation of core human values. The book includes photographs.

The e-book is some kind of primtive auto-digitalization of the original; with zero quality control - so barely readable in places. Footnotes are squished into the body of the text and there are OCR failures everywhere.It also includes a non-digitized image of each page; the results are too small for me to read; but at least you get some idea of the illustrations.Really wish itself had a QC layer to prevent people selling this kind of mess.The book itself is a classic.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
