  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.

  How to Engage Culture with the Good News of Christ 
   
   
   
  We in the church do not speak the same language as the culture. We use many of the same words, but they rarely mean the same thing. And speaking louder isn't the answer. If we are to faithfully and effectively share the Good News, we have to translate Jesus. 
   
   
   
  Embracing and unpacking the bilingual nature of spreading the gospel, pastor and teacher Shauna Pilgreen shows you how to learn the language of the culture so that you can clearly communicate the love of God in the three places Christ and culture meet: the gate, the cross, and the table. By learning how to share your story in the language of the culture, you'll not only find spiritual conversations more fruitful but also build a supportive and loving community of bilingual believers excited about inviting others to enter the kingdom of God.

  As the Mist Scatters

  He wants to forget. She wants to belong. God may just want them to heal. 
   When the doctors told Huck his shattered leg would take a year to heal, he was angry. For years building St. Ninian's Sanctuary and being its head of maintenance had been Huck’s identity, say nothing of how many demons the hard work kept at bay. With nothing to do now but heal, he’s lonely, haunted, and doesn’t know who he is. 
   Pearl O’Day is the new head of the hospitality department as well as the only single mother on the island. She’s not sure she belongs here—and some of the staff seems to agree—but she also has no other place to go if this doesn’t work out. She packed up her whole life in the States to work on this island retreat center at the bottom of the world. The job that seemed too good to be true might end up her biggest mistake, and that shakes her faith and her confidence to the core. 
   God seems to have different plans for both Huck and Pearl, deep plans that will address their pasts, their pain, and their loneliness. It might take a little danger, a lot of misunderstanding, and some good old-fashioned forgiveness to get this pair where God wants them to be. The only hope is that they don’t lose something precious to both of them along the way. 
   As the Mist Scatters is book two of the St. Ninian’s Sanctuary series, small-town Christian contemporary romance with a mysterious island twist.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Divine Favour is worth reading! Whether in Africa, Australia, Asia, Europe, South America, Canada, or the USA, divine favour is non-negotiable! This generation has no regard for God’s divine favour at all. Instead, it has more faith in human effort, opinions, or educational qualifications than in God. Exalting anything else in your life above God’s favour will land you in trouble. Divine favour is also divine grace or divine help! Each time you turn your back on God’s grace, disgrace will find its way into your life. Think about how Paul the Apostle attributed all his life and ministry accomplishments to God’s grace. It is safer that way! 
  Saints, divine favour is a must in this world we live in. Without it, your life will always get incapacitated, in every way. Of course, we live in a competitive world such that for you to excel in life, you will always need the favour of God. Only the spirit of pride in people, even Christians, will always dismiss God’s plan or agenda concerning favour. Many people have lost relevance in life because of neglecting the favour of God, which is in Christ Jesus. They think education, whom they know, and their popularity is superior to God’s favour. God forbid! 
  Get this book! You will scale greater heights of wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and spiritual growth in Christ Jesus!!
