In his first book "Moral Ambiguity," Patrick Brown told the story of world-famous singer Kevin Gregory who harbored a lurid secret that he had shared for decades with famous televangelist Jimmy Standridge. This time around, we encounter the world of daytime television just as Sheila Wozniak gets booted from the long-running soap opera "The Edge of Conflict." No longer America's Sweetheart after a forty-year run, and with no foreseeable plans to return to the small screen anytime soon, Miss Wozniak decides to write her memoirs and engages the ghost-writing services of her show's head writer who happens to be named Patrick Brown. As Wozniak pours herself a drink or two and tells her story, things get confused when she mixes up her reality with that of her character Regina Knight Harrison Donavan Taylor Donavan McDonald McDonald Woodward Merriweather Todd and a host of other memorable characters from film and television. Dive into "Tossed Off the Edge," and you'll read how Miss Wozniak got her start, about her difficult marriages, ungrateful children, her deep spiritual devotion, and an unparalleled servant problem. Brown keeps the story straight through footnotes without Miss Wozniak realizing she's been corrected. She's never been known to read the fine print.

Within the pages of Moral Ambiguity, author Patrick Brown weaves a tale of international scandal. Kevin Gregory has decided that it's time to tell the world his story whether or not it costs him his reputation as one of the most beloved singers of his generation. In vivid-and often humorous detail, he recounts his connection to the Rev. James "Jimmy" Standridge, the most powerful televangelist in America. If you've ever turned on Sunday morning television, you've seen Standridge shouting about the decline of morality and telling his listeners to renounce their sinfulness while he begs a "love gift" from every viewer. If you've seen the news recently, you know that Jimmy has been accused of being less than he claims to be. His PR team has been working overtime to gloss over any perceived moral failings because he doesn't want his followers rising up against him-or worse-withholding their tithes and offerings! There's just one catch: there's no truth in what they've been saying. Inside Moral Ambiguity, Kevin's story provides readers with the dirt that reporters have never imagined. For over two decades, as Kevin built his career as an international singing sensation, he desperately tried to free himself from the religious leader's sinister grip. Breaking away wasn't easy. How could it be when he received all those extravagant gifts? Shame kept him silent, but the time has come for Kevin to come out with the truth whether he loses his fans or topples Standridge's omni-media empire. Behind Standridge's overblown façade is a self-loathing man driven by greed and sex. He'll stop at nothing, including bribery, intimidation and kidnapping to control every facet of society and remain, as world leaders have dubbed him, "God's moral authority on Earth."

Recount of 25 stories that took place from 1958 to 1979. This time-period covers the year I was born through my 21st summer. Life lessons learned. I felt that writing this book was a God idea. And if it wasn't a God idea at least it was a God approved idea.

"I designed Instructional Sequence Matters, Grades 9-12: Explore-Before-Explain in Physical Science primarily for high school teachers wanting to address new standards while ensuring their students leave success-ready. Instructional Sequence Matters is all about explore-before-explain teaching, which is not a prescribed program but a way of thinking more purposefully and carefully about the nature of how we design instruction. Explore-before-explain teaching acknowledges the critical role that explorations and explanations play in learning. By being strategic about the sequence of instructional activities, teachers can create greater conceptual coherence for students and promote long-lasting understanding. The book is also a useful resource for translating research into instructional practice. While there is often a gulf between educational research and direct classroom applications, explore-before-explain begins to fill that void. Thus, this book provides a useful resource for professional learning communities (PLCs) and serves as a guide for professional development workshops emphasizing research-based strategies for science teaching. The high school version of Instructional Sequence Matters retains the strong features of the companion books for grades 6-8 and 3-5. Among these features is an emphasis on the 5E (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate) and POE (Predict, Observe, Explain) Instructional Models. In addition, throughout the text, the theme of reform-based teaching is stressed. Included are many examples of seamless translation of explore-before-explain teaching and the three dimensions of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS Lead States 2013): (1) science and engineering practices, (2) disciplinary core ideas, and (3) crosscutting concepts. These standards are described and closely connected to every aspect of the model lessons illustrating key physical science topics. The model lessons in this book have been greatly expanded to provide a more expansive exploration of the physical science topics under study. Teachers will learn several strategies for engaging students in tackling engineering design problems (Chapter 7), using algebraic and mathematical reasoning (Chapters 8 and 9), reading technical texts (Chapter 9), developing their own inquiries called "next step" investigations (Chapter 9), and writing argumentative essays (Chapter 10). The model lessons illustrate that students need a different type of educational experience to be prepared for an evolving workforce landscape"--

* A thoughtful and insightful textbook introduction to how health policy is made. * Pays attention to the social and political processes which structure what decisions are taken about health policy.

Trust is fundamental to everyday interactions and the functioning of society. How trust develops, or fails to develop, within contexts of severe mental illness is a pertinent topic for social scientists and healthcare professionals, not simply because it is an under-researched area but because heightened uncertainty and amplified vulnerability amidst psychosis represent a crucible of the conditions where trust becomes relevant. Grounded in research within this crucible, this book explores a number of questions which are central to contemporary theoretical debates around the nature of trust. The authors link these abstract concerns to empirical analysis, involving interviews with service-users, practitioners and managers. This book will appeal to anyone interested in the concept of trust, including social science researchers and students, as well as practitioners, managers and policy makers working with vulnerable people.

A one-stop resource that will inspire you to reimagine how you teach science in elementary school. The book discusses two popular approaches for structuring your lessons: POE (Predict, Observe, and Explain) and 5E (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate).

Are Christian schools inferior to public schools? Do you believe Christian schools are too strict, too intrusive or too contradictory? Can a child who is educated in a secular school system graduate from high school with their Christian faith in tact? Do you believe at-home Christian education and training can supplement a childs secular education? Through extensive evaluation of recent studies, expert interviews and exploration of Holy Scripture and Biblical principles, Dr. Patrick T. Brown offers some fresh insight into the influence integrating secular and Christian education has on shaping the faith of Christian children and preparing them to become future Christian leaders.

Demonstrates how to make simple shifts in the way you arrange and combine activities to improve student learning. After explaining why sequencing is so important, Patrick Brown provides a complete self-guided tour to becoming an ""explore-before-explain"" teacher.
