"Everything Martin Luther King, Jr. Book" reminds me of all the good things about all those "books for dummies" without any of the bad aspects (such as making a serious topic into a series of bad jokes). Authors Jessica McElrath and Rev. Dale P. Andrews take seriously the life and work of Martin Luther King, Jr., while writing a book that you do not have to be a graduate history student to appreciate. They study his upbringing, education, inspiration, connection to other movements of the day, and his relationships as father, husband, and frend. A great book for an introduction to his life and times. Reviewer: Bob Kellemen, Ph.D., is the author of "Beyond the Suffering: Embracing the Legacy of African American Soul Care and Spiritual Direction."
