Did you know God cries? His tears create rivers in heaven. Ever wonder what goes on in eternity? How do you get from here to there? How long does a person remain in The Valley of the Shadow of Death? Or on the road that spirals upward? Why does it take some people a short time to transition while others can take hundreds of years? How long was the pre-Adam man on the Earth? Is there still any in existence? What does it mean to be created in His image? Do we all have seven spirits that dwell in us just like God? Does the interracial relationship between the spirit and the soul continue on into eternity?

In all my days on the earth, I have never seen anything quite like God. He takes nothing and out of nothing creates everything. And on occasion, if need be, He takes everything and in one breathe blows it away to nothing. Man has yet to see what the future holds. But for those who are willing to spend time with God, He is more than willing to show them. A Glimpse into Eternity can reveal far more to a man than he ever expected to see. Seek God with a whole heart, and expect to find a world of great wealth. Opportunities to overcome the obstacles on the earth are all laid out in the Word of God. Knock, knock, and knock again, and I assure you the door to the kingdom of God will open to you.

For nearly four decades, Russ Quaglia has been laying the groundwork to inform, reform, and transform schools through student voice. That deep commitment is reflected in this inspirational book. Quaglia and his coauthors at the Quaglia Institute for School Voice & Aspirations deftly synthesize the thoughts and feelings of hundreds of thousands of stakeholders and offer a vision for schools where everyone's voice matters. They posit that students, teachers, administrators, and parents must work and learn together in ways that promote deep understanding and creativity. Making this collaborative effort successful, however, requires widespread recognition that all stakeholders have something to teach, and they all have a role to play in moving the entire school forward. We must abandon the ""us versus them"" fallacy in education; there is only ""us."" To that end, The Power of Voice in Schools:Offers a way forward that can be used in any school. Addresses the importance of everyone's voice in the school community. Articulates the lessons learned from listening to these voices over the past decade. Suggests concrete, practical strategies for combined teams of students, teachers, parents, and administrators to make a difference together. This book reflects the dream of a true partnership in listening, learning, and leading together. When the potential of voice is fully realized, schools will look and feel different. Cooperation will replace competition and conflict, collaboration will replace isolation, and confidence will replace insecurity. Most important, the entire school community will work in partnership with one another for the well-being of students and teachers.
