I feel a little guilty b/c of all the free publicity my critics give me. Truth is, there are *dozens* of historical accounts that would rock evangelicals’ world if they bothered to read them.

1 Sixty years ago today, the collection of King’s most well known sermons, Strength to Love, was published. He first proposed the book to publisher Harper & Brothers in 1957 but had not finished the manuscript by the summer of 1962.
