Download or read book You ve Got Love in Paradise written by Jilli Waters and published by Hutia LLC. This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens on a tropical island stays on a tropical island...Right?? I love to mark off all the boxes of my to-do lists; love to plan what comes next. But one box that remains permanently unchecked is the relationship status box. Frustrated after another failed date, my friends convince me that a week of sand and sun will revive me and help me shake free of failed dating apps, work, and the dreariness of spring in Shipbuilt. First day in my tropical paradise and I faint, probably from dehydration, and fall into the arms of my new hero, self-made Dominican-New Yorker, Carlos. He promises me the week of a lifetime, and I let myself believe him. After all, you only live once. His ease of all things island life--from motorcycles to waterfall jumps to finding the tastiest coconuts and pineapples, lull me into letting go of my need to be in control and let him take the lead. Dimpled smiles and bronzed muscles fill me with a heat that has nothing to do with the Caribbean sun. For a brief flicker of time, I think there might be more to our fling than just hot tropical lust, but Carlos ghosts me soon after I leave the Caribbean paradise. Vacation over, reality smacks hard: cold gray days, long hours at work, and a positive pregnancy test. You've Got Love in Paradise is a juicy, steamy vacation romance, complete with a cinnamon roll hero, accidental pregnancy, and a guaranteed HEA. It's a standalone in the small-town series, Shipbuilt Shenanigans.

Download or read book I m Just Wanda But Jesus Is G O D written by Wanda Aigner and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pope Benedict XVI is too late for Wanda Aigner's father, who believed in limbo. When at three days Wanda became deathly ill, her father nearly had an accident in his Model A Ford on Minnesota's gravel roads in mid-January as he sped to their pastor to get his daughter baptized. Still alive and well and having had an adventurous life both in the States and abroad, this memoir searches the highs and lows of a life dedicated to missions. If you wish to see Jesus, learn how he spoke to Wanda through a grandmother, leading her to not only assurance of salvation but also a call to missions. Try, if you will, counting the times Jesus healed her or helped her with demon problems. Be enlightened of Satan's wiles, inspired by Wanda's faithfulness, and encouraged to keep on keeping on-with your guard up. You may well find yourself challenged when you recognize the much more than ample proof of this autobiographer's declaration, I'm Just Wanda, but...JESUS Is G-O-D!

Download or read book Work Hard Be Hard written by Jim Horn and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-02-18 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the ideological contexts for the creation and spread of “No Excuses” charter schools. In so doing, Work Hard, Be Hard focuses closely on the Knowledge Is Power Program (KIPP) charter school chain as the most prominent exemplar for total compliance “No Excuses” schooling. By way of in-depth interviews, former teachers offer accounts of their “No Excuses” teaching experiences that have not been heard before and that are not likely to be forgotten soon. Work Hard, Be Hard also examines the KIPP organization as a manifestation of modern education reform exemplified in the convergence of neoliberal politics and the aggressive activities of the business and philanthropic communities. As an important corollary to the total compliance charter phenomenon, the book explores, too, the role of Teach for America in supplying the needed manpower and values components required to deal with very high levels of teacher attrition in these schools. Work Hard, Be Hard goes beyond accounts offered in news features, articles, and interviews that focus on “No Excuses” charters’ high test scores and expanded college opportunities for economically disadvantaged children. In short, the book offers a naturalistic antidote to the high profile gloss that mass media provides for “No Excuses” schooling. Work Hard, Be Hard examines new developments in “No Excuses” schooling that focus on psychological interventions aimed to alter children’s neurological and behavioral schemas in order to affect socio-cultural values and behaviors. Fraught with potential for abuse and misapplication by minimally trained teachers, these cult-like practices are examined and contrasted with more humane strategies that hope to reawaken the virtues of teaching and learning within the expansive confines of the sciences and arts of a truly humane pedagogy. This book will: Function as a common reader for parent groups or individuals interested in understanding the inner workings and impacts of “no excuses” charter schools; Serve as a text for education students for courses in pedagogy, social and cultural foundations of education, education policy, and politics of education; Provide deeper appreciation of social, political, and economic issues and incentives associated with total compliance charter schools; Help to ameliorate an absence of teacher perspectives on teaching in “No Excuses” charter schools; Assist the general public in understanding the ideological and economic agendas that drive support of total compliance charter schools; Help to educate policy makers and their staffs in cultural and economic facets of corporate education reform that are relevant to political decisions regarding education policy.
