Hard Questions, Heart Answers
by Bernice A., Reverend King
Bernice King, the youngest daughter of Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King, gave her first speech at seventeen, and everyone present immediately recognized that she had inherited her fathers remarkable gift for oratory. In the sixteen years since that first public appearance, Bernice King--an ordained minister as well as an attorney--has become one of the countrys most admired speakers and has touched the hearts of thousands. Now, in Hard Questions, Heart Answers, she has collected the best of her inspiring sermons and speeches; in words ringing with wisdom and compassion, she addresses the pressing problems facing America in the 1990s.Like her father before her, Reverend King believes that a good sermon or speech can fundamentally alter the way listeners understand their world and their place in it. With this goal in mind, the first part of Hard Questions, Heart Answers intends to "disturb the comfortable"--to stir people from their complacency and remind them that each human life is a precious gift. Tackling such controversial subjects as our disaffected youth, gun control, and the death penalty, Reverend King argues forcefully that, however "comfortable" America may seem, it has yet to confront its spiritual decay, its deep-rooted racism, and its thirst for violence.Reverend King believes that ignoring our countrys problems not only makes them worse but also produces a troubled population in desperate need of solace and spiritual nourishment. In the second part of the collection, "Comforting the Disturbed," she speaks eloquently to this hunger, calling on the church torediscover its helping and healing mission, and urges African American men to become positive role models for future generations. Most especially, sheencourages each of us to put aside our differences and find constructive "heart" answers to the toughest of today's "hard" questions.Using experiences and lessons from her own life, Reverend King vigorously challenges us to look beyond our own concerns and help others strive for a better life. Evoking the dream of social justice and racial equality that her father envisioned so many years ago, Hard Questions, Heart Answers offers the insight, empowerment, and hope that can make that dream a reality.
American Sermons
by
The sermon is the first and most enduring genre of our literature. Its eloquence, intellectual rigor, and spiritual fervor are amply displayed in the 58 examples collected in this unprecedented volume, which charts the evolution of the form from the first days of New England's settlement to mass-media evangelism and the turbulence of the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s. Public and private, radical and conservative, learned and vernacular, famous and neglected, the texts in this collection reclaim a neglected form of American literary art.
