From trainee teachers to veteran, battle-hardened staff, the recurring nightmare is of a class of teenagers who simply will not do as they are told. The stomach-clenching, hand-trembling, knee-jittering question we ask ourselves at the start of each new year is, 'What if the pupils walk all over me?' No matter how confident we are in our own abilities, regardless of our position in the school, irrespective of the reputation we have built for ourselves, if we do not ask ourselves that question, then sooner or later we are in for a nasty shock. When it comes to classroom management, we are all in the same boat. We all experience classroom management challenges. It's All An Act offers a range of practical, no-nonsense, pragmatic strategies and techniques to try out, practise, adapt or abandon. It works on the premise that, to a great extent, classroom management is something we can do with pupils rather than to them. In response to the cry of, 'What's the point? That would never work!' the reply is, 'Give it a go. What have you got to lose?' For colleagues under the cosh of lesson preparation, marking, administration, meetings and deadlines, it's an easy read. What have you got to lose?

Revelation, the culminating book of the Bible has inspired, intrigued, or just plain puzzled readers for almost 2,000 years. It remains enigmatic to many. However, once his intricate codes are cracked open, St John unveils its inexhaustible treasures to the inquiring mind-be it that of a theologian or an unlettered observer. The book is not really a compendium of conundrums at all. It was not written in order to remain within a folded scroll on a hidden shelf. It was meant to be read and understood, to be absorbed, shared and declared, for it offers God's answer to the perplexities encountered by humankind be they endemic to the 1st, 21st, or any century in between. Revelation-The Apocalypse-is exactly what its title intends it to be: it is a revelation, a peeling back of the mystery to disclose God's great and eternal plan of redemption. This is, actually, the subject matter of the entire Bible - from Genesis to Revelation - and the news, ultimately, is good. Apocalypse Dawn is written to endorse the validity of God's word for every age-yesterday, today and, tomorrow. You are invited to lift the veil: discover the ultimate Revelation!
Who are you really and where did you come from, besides the obvious biological details? Do you believe in a higher power from a higher dimension, or do you never really seriously question your existence? Well, this story is a journey of self-discovery, entering into a spiritual world unknown, a world unseen, a world in another dimension. This story is about a young girl who had to learn that everything isn't always as it seems and that some things may remain hidden for your protection and in other times need to be revealed, in order to save you. "The world we see and experience with our natural senses is not the reality that really exists. This short novel gives us a peek into the life of a supernatural child, the world of mental illness and the battle that rages between light and darkness. As a prophet of God, with many supernatural experiences and the gift of spiritual sight, I could relate to all that was said in this piece, yet I am not sure if it was my experience of this sort of reality that had me on the edge of my seat or the story that I was reading. Come and join Jessica, a young girl that will open up this brave new world to you the reader." - Matthew Robert Payne Author and Prophet
