High on God: How Megachurches Won the Heart of America"God is like a drug, a high, I] can't wait for the next hit." This direct quote from a megachurch member speaking about his experience of God might be dismissed as some sort of spiritually induced drug riff. However, according to the research in this book, it was not only sincere, but a deeply felt, and sought after sensibility.

"God is like a drug, a high, I] can't wait for the next hit." This direct quote from a megachurch member speaking about his experience of God might be dismissed as some sort of spiritually-induced drug riff. However, according to the research in this book, it was not only sincere, but a deeply felt, and sought-after sensibility. Megachurch attendees desire this first-hand experience of God, and many report finding it in their congregations. The book focuses on the emotional, social and religious dynamics that pull thousands of people into megachurches and how those churches make some feel like they are "high on God" and can't wait to get their next spiritual "hit."

High on God gives the first robust and plausible explanation for why megachurches have conquered the churchgoing market of America. Without condescension or exaggeration, the authors show the genius of megachurches: the power of charisma, the design of facilities, the training of leaders, the emotional dynamics, and the strategies that bring people together and lead them to serve and help others. Using Emile Durkheim's concept of homo duplex, the authors plot the strategies that megachurches employ to satisfy the core human craving for personal meaning and social integration, as well as personal identity and communal solidarity. The authors also show how these churches can go wrong, sometimes tragically so. But they argue that, for the most part, megachurches help their attendees find themselves through bonding with and serving others.

Works great on my 2018 Honda Civic EX
Size: 2.0L, Size: 2.0L
Been buying these for years. They are relatively cheap and easy to replace, so much better than getting ripped off at the dealer lmao. Compatibility and Installation - 5/5 Filtration Efficiency and Performance - 5/5 Durability and Value for Money - 4/5 - these are made to be replaced, so can't really do much about that!

I bought this and was able to change this myself. It was simple. I got this for my 2016 Honda Civic, I don't think I ever replaced the filter in my car in the 5 years that I had it. It had a distinct smell in my car, and once I popped this bad boy in, within a day or two the smell was gone. It did make a sound for a while like I did not do it correctly, but I did, after about a week the sound went away, so everything's good. I will buy this again when the time comes
