The Inner Life and Social Responsibility
by Howard Thurman

This final volume of his collected “sermon series,” concerns what is likely the most cherished aspect of Thurman’s thought: his emphasis on meditation, introspection, and self-discovery as the key to the religious life. He often spoke and wrote of his belief in a pervading sense of a divine presence, a presence that existed both within and outside of organized religions and religious institutions and could be found everywhere. But its most important location was within each of us.
