Misunderstood Devotion
Pam is a country girl and has dreams of a simple life. She wants what all the girls in her small town desire: a devoted husband; two adorable kids, a boy and a girl; a playful dog: and a nice house surrounded by a picket fence.
Jeff is an Army "brat" and has dreams of being a career soldier just like his dad. He is outgoing, handsome, and on every girl's list as a prospective husband.
When Pam and Jeff meet at college, they are attracted to each other but soon discover how different their goals are. Are they willing to give up their dreams to make this relationship work? If they do, would they regret it later? Would their relationship survive?
Reader Responses
"Misunderstood Devotion is a timeless love story that takes the reader from the innocence of new love to the anguish of misunderstandings, temptation, and potential loss. It is a gripping, emotional story encompassing all aspects of what one would consider true love - love of God, family, and country." C. R. Vieke, M.S.
I was hooked on the story after only a couple of pages, and I didn't want to put it down. I loved the author's style, character, and story line. I wanted to read more! J. Hill, B.S.

Why Not Me?
Cassie and Carson are best friends. They live on Melody Avenue and attend Springdale Elementary School. Together they have worked through their problems with children in their neighborhood and at school, and even with each other. Although they don’t always agree, they have remained true friends.
Growing up is not always easy, so Cassie and Carson share their good times, and not-so-good times, and hope their experiences will help other children and give them courage to face whatever comes their way.
Today their friendship is being tested when Cassie orders Carson to go away and leave her alone.
This is a great story for teachers to read to their students. I have read it to several classes, and student response was terrific. Questions for discussion are included in the back of the book. (grades K-3)
Testimonial from a second grade teacher:
"I used Why Not Me? with my second grade class in small and whole group reading settings. The students were mesmerized by the story and loved the author's sense of humor. The story lends itself to making and checking predictions, and the lesson taught in the story is one that children of all ages need to learn. As soon as we finished reading the story, my students wanted to know where they could buy the book? I highly recommend Why Not Me? to parents and teachers of elementary age children." C. R.

Testimonial from an instructor using these materials:
"I have incorporated many of your ideas into my teaching. My students love the activities, and participation and enthusiasm has increased tremendously. Thanks for your wonderful, creative activities." J. Howard, M.S. |
Many instructors spend hours planning their lessons and enter the classroom with confidence knowing they are well prepared to teach the concepts; however, their students do not respond. They keep watching the clock and give a big sigh of relief when the class is over. So the instructors prepare even more thoroughly for the next session but gets the same results. Knowledge of the subject is essential, but there are other pieces to the puzzle which must be incorporated to have a successful lesson. This booklet contains four units: Class starters - activities to use at the beginning of the class to get students involved in learning, Activities for English/Writing classes - creative activities to incorporate more enjoyment into English/Writing assignments, A Business Approach to Teaching English/Writing - a creative method using the instructor as the company CEO and the students as employees, and Activities to Improve Study Skills - creative activities to help students accept responsibility for their learning and manage their time more effectrively. With some adjustment to the activities, most of them can be used in middle school, high school, or community college classes. By setting the stage for learning, instructors can turn negative attitudes into positive attitudes with amazing results. Students eagerly enter the classroom and become actively involved. Because students are learning in an enjoyable fashion, attendance and participation increase tremendously. Price: $14.99
