touching eternity explores how teachers can make a long-term impact on the lives of their students. Written in an accessible narrative style, this case study of one high school art teacher and his former students invites readers to engage in fundamental and essential issues in teaching as well as in educational research. Rather than drawing conclusions, this book is uniquely designed to raise questions about the consequences of teaching and learning. “An extraordinary accomplishment. I know of no other book like it in the field of education. Its pages reflect Dewey’s observation that one of the greatest of educational fallacies is that the student learns only what he or she is being taught at the time.... This book breaks new ground.” —Elliot W. Eisner, Lee Jacks Professor of Education and Professor of Art, Stanford University “The strength of this masterfully written book lies in its determinate inconclusiveness. It leaves many questions hauntingly unanswered so that they continue to gnaw at the reader long after the book has been put down...Barone skillfully encourages teachers to debate these questions and interrogate these themes. touching eternity is a book that demands our attention.” —Peter McLaren, Graduate School of Education and Information Studies, UCLA, and author of Che Guevara, Paulo Freire, and the Pedagogy of Revolution “Now more than ever, we need a book that shows us the subtle but long-term effects of a teacher who tells students, ‘Follow your heart.’” —Susan Ohanian, author of Caught in the Middle: Nonstandard Kids and a Killing Curriculum

Children have always been close to the heart of God. It is when children are sick, even dying, that they can suddenly bring us closer to God ourselves. Children's minister and former children's hospital chaplain Leanne Hadley has been ministering to hurting children for years. In Touching Heaven, she recounts the poignant stories and simple faith of the remarkable children she has been privileged to serve. She shares their encounters with God, Jesus, and angels. And with humor and tenderness, she offers their inspiring testimonies to the presence of God in our lives--even as earthly life is ending. Anyone who has lost a child or another loved one, or anyone who is currently supporting a dying person along the journey, will find in these stories comfort, inspiration, and hope of everlasting life.

How a doctor's glimpses of eternity confirmed everything he believed about God, suffering, life on earth, and what happens after death.Dr. Chauncey Crandall knows his patients well. When they are dying, he sits at the bedside with them and holds their hands. He prays with them. Sometimes he can feel what they feel and see what they see. At other times his patients have near-death experiences and "come back" with astonishing descriptions of the afterlife. In TOUCHING HEAVEN, Dr. Crandall reveals how what he has seen and heard has convinced him that God is real, that we are created for a divine purpose, that death is not the end, that we will see our departed loved ones again, and that we are closer to the next world than we think.

With compelling—sometimes electrifying—evidence that there is something real to be reckoned with, Metaxas offers a timely, civil, and thoughtful answer to recent books by Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Sam Harris. Already a New York Times bestseller, Miracles will be welcomed by both believers and skeptics—who will find their minds opening to the possibilities.

This book captures the state of the art in visual research. Margolis and Pauwels have brought together, in one volume, a unique survey of the field of visual research that will be essential reading for scholars and students across the social sciences, arts and humanities. The SAGE Handbook of Visual Research Methods encompasses the breadth and depth of the field, and points the way to future research possibilities. It illustrates ′cutting edge′ as well as long-standing and recognized practices. This book is not only ′about′ research, it is also an example of the way that the visual can be incorporated into data collection and the presentation of research findings. Chapters describe a methodology or analytical framework, its strengths and limitations, possible fields of application and practical guidelines on how to apply the method or technique. The Handbook is organized into seven main sections: - Framing the Field of Visual Research - Producing Visual Data and Insight - Participatory and Subject-Centered Approaches - Analytical Frameworks and Approaches - Visualization Technologies and Practices - Moving Beyond the Visual - Options and Issues for Using and Presenting Visual Research. Eric Margolis is an Associate Professor in the Hugh Downs School of Human Communication. He is President of the International Visual Sociology Association.
