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

Perfect Suit Great Quality and Value
Color: Lavender Purple, Size: 6 Years, Color: Lavender Purple, Size: 6 Years
I love at how nice this boys suit turned out. The slim fit gives it a stylish, elegant look, and it makes my nephew look so sharp and grown up. Fit true to size.
The material feels good quality, not thin or cheap, and it’s definitely nicer than I expected for the price. I really like that it comes as a full set, which made things so much easier instead of having to buy down extra pieces. Love the tie and the vest, so cute.
He wore it for a special event and got so many compliments, people couldn’t believe how handsome he looked. It stayed looking neat all day, and he was able to move around comfortably. I could easily see him wearing this again for weddings, church, holidays, or even school pictures.
Overall, it’s a great buy if you want your little guy to look dressed up without spending a fortune. Beautiful boys suit, stylish and elegant, great value and quality. Wash inside out, and air dry.

One of the best suits out there!!
Color: Christmas Green, Size: 8 Years
I am not one who write reviews, so the fact that I'm penning this review you should know. These suits are the best, the sizing, the fit, the quality everything is perfect. I bought for my 3 sons and they all fit well, I was worried about the fit because one of my son is slender but tall so length things would be okay but waist toooo big, with this suit everything was on point. Ages: 13-14(about 5"4-5"5 have a little body wouldn't consider husky) got him size 18,
10-11(slender but a little tall for his age) got him size 14,
9yr old(average height and body size) got him size 8. Can't beat the price and for 6 pieces(pants, vest, jacket, shirt, tie, bowtie)
