Rear cover notes: "When two or three are gathered in the name of Christ to share and care for one another, it's Serendipity - and this is what these Bibles are all about. In the Serendipity Bible for Groups (NIV text) and in the Serendipity Catholic Bible (NAB text) there are sharing questions in the margin for every passage in the Bible. In the Serendipity Group Bible for Leaders ( in addition to the same margin questions) there are ice-breakers and study helps on the opposite page for every passage in the New Testament, plus ready-made courses for all kinds of groups - Men, Women, Couples, Marriage, Parents, Marketplace, Spiritual Formation, Support, and Recovery. In the Serendipity Student Bible, youth are challenged to find out what the Bible says about the critical issues they face. If you can boil water, you can make it happen with these Bibles."

From the serpentine "Champie" of Lake Champlain to the venerable "Nessie" of Loch Ness, extraordinary-and un-explained-creatures of the deep have been reported in sightings throughout the twentieth century. Now, two of the world's leading cryptozoological investigators provide a globetrotting field guide to when, where, and what kind of mysterious aquatic beasts have gripped the public—and sometimes the scientific—imagination. Filled with comprehensive drawings, classifications, and maps, their book offers an invaluable and unusual resource for the intrepidly curious to investigate these sightings firsthand or to simply enjoy the fascinating accounts that others have given.

Pastoral poetry was probably the creation of the Hellenistic poet Theocritus, and he was certainly its most distinguished exponent in Greek. Vergil not only transposed the spirit of Greek pastoral into an Italian setting, blending details from the life of his native countryside into the subsequent history of the genre. On publication the Eclogues won immediate acclaim and Vergil's reputation as a major poet was established. In this edition Robert Coleman describes the earlier pastoral tradition, sets Vergil's poems in historical perspective and evaluates the poet's distinctive contribution to the genre. In the commentary difficulties of interpretation are elucidated. Theocritean influences are examined in detail and points of interest in the language, style and subject-matter discussed. This is the fullest edition of the Eclogues to have appeared in any language and the first in English since the end of the nineteenth century. It is intended primarily for university students and sixth-formers but will be valuable to anyone interested in Latin poetry and the development of the pastoral genre.
