The Measure of a Man -MLK, Jr.
I went to the library today in search of Stride Toward Freedom by Martin Luther King, Jr., but unfortunately they didn't have it at the Cary library. However, I did find The Measure of a Man by King.
I sat down to read a little of it this evening, and I ended up reading the entire thing. It's a small book with only about fifty pages, not counting the photographs, but it is brilliant. It is without a doubt one of the best things I've ever read. Everyone should find this book and take the fifteen minutes to read through it.
It's amazing how the words from a man written over forty years ago can be so timeless and so relevant today.

does this mean you got a library card already?
Yes. I marked it off the list.
Thanks for lending the book to me. I finished reading it this morning and you are right, its amazing how timeless the points are in his book.
I especially like the second essay where it talked about depth, breadth, and height. He gave a good picture of what a balanced, godly life strives for.
When do you need to return it?
I think I have to have it back at the library by Jan. 23.
I liked the second essay as well. He's really good at what he does.
