One of the most important issues in the national discourse about American Education is Missing In Action. Successful classroom management is absent from the agenda of policy makers, unmentioned in TV discussions, and invisible in the teacher education curriculum of most colleges and universities. As a sad consequence, disorder and chaos are realities in too many classrooms in our nation’s schools.

Your First 30 Minutes – The ABC’s of Successful Classroom Management provides practical strategies that will empower teachers to create a safe, orderly and excellent teaching and learning environment in their classrooms. It addresses, with honesty and humor, the issues that teachers must manage on a daily basis, many of which are rarely discussed in college level education classes and professional development seminars.

IF Bible Stories Were Reported in Today’s Headlines . . . is a Study Guide that creatively borrows from contemporary media reporting styles, to imagine 21st century “headlines” for Bible stories and verses. This book is for the novice Bible student who is eager to grow in The Word, and the seasoned Bible student who regularly seeks to learn more about The Holy Bible. The idea for this book came from a frequent Jeopardy® category, “____ (books, movie titles, songs, etc.) in Other Words”. It grew into an activity for women traveling to a Michigan Christian women’s conference and developed into this book.
