A Tough Mind and a Tender Heart

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A Tough Mind and a Tender Heart states that 'far from being the pious injunction of a Utopian dreamer, the command to love one's enemy is an absolute necessity for our survival.'

Advocating love as strength and non-violence as the most powerful weapon there is, these sermons and writings from the heart of the civil rights movement exhibit Martin Luther King, Jr.'s rhetorical power at its most fiery and uplifting.

Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals, and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.
