  The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, How to Lead in a World of Distraction: Audio Lectures includes high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources. 
  Are distractions holding you back from living abundantly? 
  Our world is filled with distractions. They take a toll on our work, our parenting, our marriages, and our souls. Constant tugs on our attention have us spinning our wheels, unable to gain momentum to move forward. 
  Much like white noise, these distractions tune out what matters most within, and we're all susceptible. As distractions grow louder, we become deaf to the issues that most need our attention. 
  In How to Lead in a World of Distraction: Audio Lectures, pastor Clay Scroggins shows you how to take the next step in your personal growth by limiting the distractions in your life. Through the practices described in these lectures, you will be empowered to replace the chaos in your increasingly busy schedule with emotional competence that leads to a calmer and more fulfilling life. 
  Designed for use with How to Lead in a World of Distraction Study Guide (9780310115168); sold separately.

  Three in One - Analogies for the...

  Throughout history, Christians have pictured the relationships between Father, Son, and Holy Spirit through analogies. Such illustrations—some from the West but also from Latin America, Asia, Africa, and other places—come laden with theological ramifications that the church has rejected (heresies) or embraced (doctrines). In Three in One, William David Spencer shares a lifetime of insights from teaching within the global church, bringing fresh images and analogies of the Trinity to deepen our theological vocabulary. 
   
   
   
  Drawing from his extensive teaching in geographically and culturally diverse contexts and his artist's passion for evocative words and visuals, Spencer offers listeners a rich, multifaceted, and practical exploration of the Trinity. Alongside historical and contemporary theology and biblical studies, he considers the strengths and shortcomings of various analogies used to explain the Trinity, such as: light; water; the Celtic knot; the totem pole; musical harmonies; the human body; and the family. 
   
   
   
  Listeners of Three in One will gain a personal understanding of the Trinity as well as tools for teaching about the Trinity in adult and children's ministry contexts.

  Jesus the Troublemaker

  'Jesus the Troublemaker' is an immersive account of the dramatic last week of the life of Jesus of Nazareth, or rather Yeshua Ish-Natzaret.  He was a Galilean Jew who spoke Aramaic  with a northern accent.  Full of dramatic incidents and confrontational dialogues, the book uncovers many events behind the bare record of the Gospels of Mark, Luke and John.         For example, why did Yeshua arrive late at the Temple for his triumphal entry?  Because he had just walked 18 miles uphill from Jericho!  Why were the chief priests so hostile to Yeshua?  Because his clearing the traders out of the Temple was not a one-off demonstration, it was a four day occupation!  Why are there different accounts of the first Easter Day?  This is solved by the simple question, Where was Simon Peter?       Sister Hilda Mary wrote, "Well!  Holy Week has come alive in a new way and will never be the same again.  The book has finally removed set images and confusions stuck in my mind  from so many years and something much more vibrant and alive has replaced them."      Premier Christianity wrote: "The main section of the book is a narrative account of Jesus’ last eight days, written as fiction but still faithful to the Gospel accounts …. If Andy Roland’s desire is to bring the story of Jesus alive to a new audience and answer questions about the cultural context, the book succeeds."

  Myths of India The: The History...

  Though it was one of the most advanced civilizations of its time and responsible for the most ancient prehistoric urban sites across the Indian subcontinent, the Indus Valley Civilization was forgotten for millennia, until 20th century archaeologists rediscovered and began excavations at Mohenjo-daro and Harappa. Although the civilization primarily flourished between approximately 3000 and 1500 BCE, these ancient Indians had longer lasting influences on the urbanization of the Indian subcontinent for centuries after, thanks to their monumental buildings and walls, enormous manmade platforms, innovative architectural techniques, and evidence that they engaged in trade over vast distances, with high-quality artifacts sent from the Indus Valley as far as Mesopotamia and even Africa.  
  	Of course, the Indus Valley Civilization and their successors, the Aryans, also influenced indigenous Indian religion and mythology. In the West, Hinduism is a religion that everyone has heard of but one that few non-practitioners truly understand. Today it is widely regarded as one of the world’s great religions and considered the indigenous religion of India, with practices and beliefs stretching back thousands of years.  
  	In reality, Hinduism as it is conceived of today is a conglomerate of a number of indigenous Indian religions. In fact, prior to the migration of Islam and the corporate invasion of the British, Hinduism may not have existed at all. Rather, a number of local religious traditions had very old belief systems dating back hundreds or thousands of years, depending on the tradition, and many worshiped gods that are no longer worshiped today. In essence, it was only through the non-indigenous populations in India, namely the Turks and later the British, who defined what Hinduism was.
