Books with title Bible Explorer

The sixth novel in Cherryh’s Foreigner space opera series, a groundbreaking tale of first contact and its consequences…It has been nearly ten years since the starship Phoenix returned to Alpha, the station orbiting the world of the atevi, which had been abandoned following a rift between a faction of the station's inhabitants and the spacers' Pilot's Guild. The unexpected return of the Phoenix has forever changed the lives of both atevi and Mospheirans, for over the ensuing decade, the captains of the Phoenix have brought both species into space. Their motivation seemed simple: Reunion Station, a human station in another sector of space, had been destroyed by aliens. But on his deathbed, the senior captain of the Phoenix admits that he lied to the crew—that Reunion was merely damaged, not destroyed, and many people may have survived. At this disclosure, the crew rebels and forces the Phoenix to undertake a rescue mission to Reunion. Onboard the rescue mission are Bren Cameron, brilliant human paidhi representing the atevi ruler Tabini-aiji, and Tabini's grandmother Ilisidi, a fearsome and ambitious atevi leader with an agenda of her own. Trapped in a distant star system with little fuel left, facing a bellicose alien ship, how can Bren help to avoid interspecies war when the notoriously secretive Pilot's Guild aboard Reunion Station refuse to cooperate, and may have kept the inhabitants of their own station ignorant of their true situation? The long-running Foreigner series can also be enjoyed by more casual genre readers in sub-trilogy installments. Explorer is the 6th Foreigner novel, and the 3rd book in the second subtrilogy.

A must-have for any collection." --School Library Journal, starred review "This sophomore effort’s solid artwork, dialogue, and stories will still be a great introductory title for young or struggling middle-school readers starting to explore the world of graphic novels." --Booklist "Variety of style is the real draw of Kibuishi’s graphic anthologies, and tweens reluctant to stray from their comic-book favorites will find the gamut of visual presentations eye-opening." --The Bulletin of The Center for Children’s Books "Another satisfying anthology that will leave readers eager for the next." --The Horn Book

A great collection of stories, prayers, and activities for young explorersThe Explorer Bible is a book which offers young children the opportunity to combine Bible reading and prayer with activities to reinforce what they have learned. The stories of Noah, Joseph, Moses and Elijah and stories of the life, teaching and miracles of Jesus are found together in this engaging book. Each section tells a story from the Bible in a clear, simple way surrounded by colorful pictures of the characters and action involved, and follows it up with several fun "Activities," a "Prayer," and "Something to Think About." "Activities" include word searches, spot the difference, join the dots, coloring, and picture matching, and provide children with meaningful tasks while learning more about Bible characters and their relationship with God. An example of "Something to Think About" from the story of Noah: "It is sometimes difficult to do the right thing. It's even harder when everyone else around you is doing something different and they laugh at you." An example of a "Prayer" from the story of Noah: "Help me, Lord God, to be brave enough to do what is good and right, even if others try to stop me."
