Publisher Description
Through Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.'s words and Bible verses, kids will discover that Dr. King's Christian faith was the foundation for his activism and that God calls us to stand up for justice and love. This devotional for children will inspire the next generation with the passion of Dr. King, America's greatest Black leader, and equip them to make a difference for God, both today and tomorrow.
Through Dr. King's timeless words, children ages 8 to 12 will be challenged and inspired to
- "drive out darkness" with light and love;
- go to the Bible for the truth about evil, love, identity, and responsibility;
- respect the Creator-given human dignity in everyone;
- build relationships across boundaries and spread kindness in all communities; and
- stand for God's truth about themselves and others.
This 60-day devotional for older children includes
- a short biography of Dr. King that focuses on his belief in God's Word as the basis of his activism;
- 60 devotions written just for kids, each featuring Scripture, a quote from Dr. King, and a challenge to live out the truth; and
- inspiring stories of young participants of the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s.
Today's children are passionate about social justice and want to be change makers. This devotional shows kids that following Christ is an essential element of the fight for justice and empowers them to actively live out their faith.
"If we are to go forward, if we are to make this a better world in which to live, we've got to go back. . . . We've got to go back and rediscover the principle that there is a God behind the process." --Martin Luther King Jr.

About the Authors
Martin Luther King Jr. (1929–1968) was born in Atlanta, Georgia, the son and grandson of pastors. He graduated from Morehouse College and Crozer Theological Seminary, becoming the pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama at age twenty-five. He subsequently earned his PhD from Boston University. In 1957, he and other civil rights leaders founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization he led until his death. A proponent of Gandhian principles of nonviolence, he led many protests and demonstrations for civil rights, including the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 29, 1963, where he delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech. Winner of the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize, he continued to fight for civil rights, the eradication of poverty, and the end of the Vietnam War. He was assassinated on April 4, 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee.
