Readers Theatre for Global ExplorersLibraries Unlimited, 2011
Throughout history, powerful kings and queens have sent their emissaries on quests for land and wealth to expand their empires. But what about those emissaries? A man who ventures to sail into uncharted seas, knowing he may never return. A woman who disguises herself and walks into forbidden lands. What gave them the courage and the strength to face many daunting challenges? How did they feel during the worst and best times in their adventures? Social studies should never be boring, especially when it comes to recounting the adventures of the world's greatest explorers. Readers Theatre for Global Explorers gives social studies teachers and school librarians a tool to introduce students to the determined men and women who ventured into unknown territory. This collection of short scripts for 4th to 8th grade students teaches about explorers, their native cultures, and the lands they found. Just as importantly, they make learning fun.

If someone came up to you and said 'Yadah" or "Zamar" you might think you'd met someone from a distant galaxy, but you'd really be hearing two important words about expressing yourself in praise to God. With arms raised high, instruments at the ready you can lift your voice, body and soul in praise to the God who made you and loves you. This book will help you find out what praise really is and get to know the wonderful, amazing, faithful God who deserves our praise every day. There are praise projects to try and some awesome stories from the Bible to make you jump up like Jehoshephat and sing "Give thanks to the Lord, for his love never fails!"
