520    ""Thou, Dear God" is the first and only collection of 
       sixty-eight prayers by Martin Luther King, Jr. Arranged 
       thematically in six parts--with prayers for spiritual 
       guidance, special occasions, times of adversity, times of 
       trial, uncertain times, and social justice--Baptist 
       minister and King scholar Lewis Baldwin introduces the 
       book and each section with short essays. Included are both
       personal and public prayers King recited as a seminarian, 
       graduate student, preacher, pastor, and, finally, civil 
       rights leader, along with a special section that reveals 
       the biblical sources that most inspired King. Collectively
       they illustrate how King turned to private prayer for his 
       own spiritual fulfillment and to public prayer as a way to
       move, inspire, and reaffirm a quest for peace and social 
       justice. With a foreword by Rev. Dr. Julius R. Scruggs, it
       is the perfect gift for people and leaders of all faiths, 
       and an invaluable resource for spiritual individuals and 
       those who lead worship."--Publisher Description.
