Описание:
ASSASSIN JULIA HAMPTON IS READY TO QUIT THE GAME AND RETURN TO HER SCHOOLTEACHER ROOTS -- ONLY TO LEARN SHE'S MARKED FOR DEATH.
Primary teacher Julia Hampton's quiet life in Oregon upends with the murder of her parents and sister. Julia seeks revenge against those responsible, and against all odds, she succeeds. Her success is noticed by an organization dedicated to the same task on a grand scale: eliminate anyone importing and selling narcotics. Julia accepts assignments as a contract killer for The Company and makes a name for herself as J.
Settling in rural Idaho to live alone as a substitute teacher offers a low-profile base for assignments. Dawson Pelletier owns a nearby farm and looks after Julia's place when J is away. All goes well until she's wounded and barely makes it home. She finds her neighbor is much more than a gentleman farmer when only one of his many hidden resources is to become her expert caregiver.
Her thirst for vengeance sated and faced with her mortality, Julia notifies The Company that the assignment she barely survives is her last, and she'll return to teaching fulltime, but her resignation is rejected unless she fulfills a final contract. Against previous rules of engagement, her target is outside US borders, and she must leave her familiar firearm behind and find alternate means to terminate a giant ex-athlete responsible for importing tons of drugs stateside each week. J must take on a brute three times her size if she is to have a chance to return to the quiet life and budding romance wants.
"Pitts is a highly skilled storyteller. Riveting - action filled - yet woven with love and unforgettable characters. Can't wait for the next one "--Judy Schwartz, Educator
"Pitts is one of those authors who makes readers feel as if they have lived all their lives in the settings of what he writes, and can move from an exciting, dangerous scene on one page to a sensitive, personal, and touching moment on the next. His dialogue always rings true."--Jim Tevis - Professor and Historian
"I love Jeffrey A. Pitts' books He takes care to develop multiple characters and entwine their storylines. When you get done reading you feel like you know these people as neighbors and miss them. I can't wait to read and find out where Jeffrey will take us in his next book "--Amy Garrison, K-12 Reading Specialist
"... I cannot put Jeffrey's books down until I've read to the last page "--Terin Heye--Bookkeeper, Olympia, WA
My initial dispatching of the Sanchez woman and three of her henchmen were as routine as my daily practice knocking bowling pins off fence posts, but no drill can prepare a person for an actual gun battle. For the first time in my life, I felt the shock of a bullet. My hand explored my stomach and slipped through wetness before pain set in. Dropping to one knee, I exchanged my nearly empty magazine. Two men remained who planned to end my life. I needed every round now in my gun.
Hearing the telltale sounds of magazines ejected and the fumbling to reload in the dining room, I stepped through the doorway with my eye locked over the sights. Both men looked in my direction, clumsily releasing their slides to chamber rounds.
Dilligent practce with the nearly silent and recoilless Mark IV .22/45 behind my house paid off. The men wanting to kill me now became no more than wobbling bowling pins, and I simply squeezed the trigger once, then again. Both men fell faster than I can tell it.

Описание:
Let's face it, grammar can be boring to teach and can definitely be boring to learn.
This book makes grammar lessons more engaging and interesting for intermediate and advanced ESL / EFL students.
I've handpicked the most commonly taught grammar pointsand made conversation questions that allow students to produce the grammar naturally.
For each of the grammar points there are short, simple, and easy to understand explanations. You can give these explanations to your students or use them for yourself as a guide or reminder.
There are at least 17 questions for each of the grammar points. So your students will have plenty to talk about. Plus, they'll be using the grammar you just taught them in a natural and pain-free way. So what are the grammar points in the book?
simple past, present perfect, simple present, modals of possibility and probability, gerunds vs. infinitives, modals of necessity, modals of advice, comparatives, conditionals real with the future (first conditional), will, be going to, passive voice in the present, past continuous, reported speech / indirect speech, conditionals unreal with the past (third conditional), conditionals unreal with the present (second conditional), nouns (count / noncount / countable / uncountable), quantifiers, conditionals real with the present (zero conditional), present perfect continuous, superlatives, tag questions, adverbs of frequency, as ... as (equatives), imperatives, passive voice with the past, used to / would, for / since, would rather / prefer.
Look familiar? I'm sure you're teaching some of these in your class. I'm also sure that you've taught a lot of these in the past. And you know what? You'll probably be teaching most of these in the future.
Wouldn't it be nice to have some extra resources when it's time to teach grammar in your class?

Описание: A yearlong book of prayers to bring nightly hope and a sense of connection to mothers who feel alone, from the mother-daughter team behind the Midnight Mom Devotional Facebook page There is something about a quiet house in the midnight hours that causes stress and anxious thoughts that have been ignored throughout the day to rise to the surface of a mother's heart. When the world goes still around you, it's good to know you're not alone; there are so many other mommas just like you and a God who wants to meet you in the quiet. What began as a small online prayer ministry to encourage moms in the middle of the night quickly grew into a worldwide prayer movement known as the Midnight Mom Devotional. Now this encouraging book of prayers connects you with a community of moms to strengthen your heart and give you support when you need it most. Each night offers a different prayer for mommas in all circumstances of life, including - being fearful and anxious - needing a miracle - caring for a sick child - feeling as if there is nothing left to give - welcoming a new baby - experiencing sorrow - getting ready for a new beginning In the stillness and the night, take heart in knowing that women across the world are joining you in prayer and that God is listening and loving you right where you are.
