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

Impressive Sound Deadening Solution with Enhanced Audio Quality
Model: NewSLS50_52
I recently purchased the Siless 50 mil (1.3mm) 52 sqft Car Sound Deadening mat, and I am delighted with the results it has delivered. Right from the start, I was impressed with the packaging, which ensured the product arrived in perfect condition.
One of the standout features of this sound deadening mat is its ease of use. It was a breeze to cut and modify according to my specific needs. Whether I needed to cover specific areas or customize the size, the mat accommodated my requirements effortlessly. This flexibility made the installation process a breeze.
The Siless Sound Deadening mat has proven to be highly effective in reducing outside noise within my vehicle. With just a half cabin install, I noticed a significant reduction of approximately 10 decibels, making my driving experience much quieter and more comfortable. The mat acted as a reliable barrier against external noise, allowing me to enjoy a more peaceful ride.
Furthermore, the sound quality from my vehicle's audio system experienced a noticeable improvement. The Siless mat effectively dampened vibrations and minimized resonance, resulting in cleaner and more refined audio output. The mat's thickness of 50 mil (1.3mm) ensures optimal sound absorption, contributing to its effectiveness in creating a quieter and more enjoyable driving environment. I can now appreciate the full range of tones and enjoy a more immersive music experience during my drives.
Overall, I highly recommend the Siless 50 mil Car Sound Deadening mat for anyone seeking a reliable and effective solution to reduce noise and enhance audio quality in their vehicle. The easy cutting and modifying process, along with the excellent packaging, contribute to a seamless installation experience. With a significant reduction in outside noise and an improvement in sound system performance, this sound deadening mat has exceeded my expectations.

Good quality sound deadener at a good price.

Quality sound deadening that adheres to body panels well. You can easily hear the vibration reduction after just the first piece by tapping on the body panel before and after.
