A City Upon a Hill: How the Sermon Made America shows the United States at its best - and sometimes at its worst. The sermon can serve as a national conscience, and can also be viewed as the first form of mass media. Not only can the nation's history be traced in the landmark sermons preached from its pulpits and in front of its memorials, but in fact it was often the sermon that inspired and helped define America.
Larry Witham presents the first serious examination of religious rhetoric and how it both reflected and inspired public opinion and policy throughout American history. Witham analyses the influence of religion on the Founding Fathers, Abraham Lincoln, John Brown, Martin Luther King, Jr., and many other eminent figures. A City Upon a Hill also features a timeline connecting famous sermons and inspirational speeches to important events in American history. Larry Witham is the author of The Measure of God, Where Darwin Meets the Bible and By Design: Science and the Search for God. As a journalist, he has won the Religion Communicators Council's Wilbur Award three times, several prizes from the Religion Newswriters Association, and a Templeton Foundation award for his articles on science and religion. He has appeared on C SPAN, the CBN "700 Club" and Fox News. He lives in Burtonsville, Maryland. "The sermon is America's characteristic form of speech, and this book is a brilliant exposition of that form. From Winthrop to King and beyond, we speak and hear of our destiny as a nation in the voice of the sermon. This is an invaluable guide." -- Peter Gomes, author of The Good Book: Reading the Bible with Heart and Mind--Preaching MagazineBinding Type: Paperback

Great Mat!
Color: Boysenberry, Style: 1/2 inch
I’ve been using this mat 4+ days a week for 2.5 months and it is durable and comfortable. I use it for yoga, sculpt, and Pilates. It’s held up during burpees, pushups, and plenty other moves that I half expected would tear the mat, but it’s held up great. It also gets wiped down with a disinfectant after each use. Still like new. Great price too!

Comfortable material, perfect size, and matches the online images!
Color: Blue Mist, Style: 1/2 inch, Color: Blue Mist, Style: 1/2 inch
This Retrospec Solana Yoga Mat is super cushiony and soft, and perfect if you're looking for something with extra thickness. The size was just what I was looking for, and I'm looking forward to using it on my concrete back porch! Comfort level 5 out of 5!
I really love the color quality of this, too. I've had several yoga mats in the past, and this one is one of the prettiest blues. The color quality was true to the product description and matched the online images.
Unboxing: It was super easy to roll out, and the packaging kept it safe from any damage.
Note: Upon opening it, it had that kind fo funky fresh-out-of-the-box smell, but it went away within just a few days.

Love it!!
Color: Rose, Style: 1/2 inch, Color: Rose, Style: 1/2 inch
i saw a lot of bad reviews after i had ordered this product so i was a little scared, but it did come with the strap to secure it which i love keeps it all rolled up together, it’s not slippery at all i also saw reviews about that the ribbed design is a bit different to my liking but it’s still very comfortable, it kind of reminds me of memory foam. The color is such a muted pink but so pretty and it’s very lightweight!! it’s definitely worth the money very good quality

Fishy but nice
Color: Ocean Blue, Style: 1/2 inch
Very large and pretty color. It’s nice and thick and the material is nice. It smells like fish. It’s like they stored it in a fish market and wrapped it up. Aside from that, would recommend.

Great Option for older, beginner workouts
Color: Gray, Style: Yoga Mat
I am a 54-year-old woman with multiple issues dealing with my weight, knees, and hips. The support of this particular mat is thick enough that there is no pain when being on my knees or lying down. It does not pinch your pressure points, causing pain as a thinner mat would. I am very pleased with the quality of this mat; it feels durable and I do not worry about my flopping around and destroying it while I learn the proper positions I need for my exercises. The length and width is sufficient for my 5 foot 11 inch height and extra girth. I was not looking for anything in particular in terms of design or color, as I prefer functionality, and this is to be used at home as a beginner mat while I start my exercise program.
