A Tomb is Discovered in the Heart of the Holy Land... with a message that strikes out at The Vatican and defies any power claiming spiritual authority. This book had for a source a U.S. intelligence agent with an Einsteinian IQ who once worked in Jerusalem, Mecca, and Gaza. The attention given by power centers to important religious relics is far greater than one could ever imagine on the outside. At the center of the story is a peculiar IDF soldier, a computer genius named Gad Kaplan, who finds the tomb. Because of the nature of the spiritual message, he decides to take any risk to disseminate it. He also believes he is learning how the mind of God works, and that for humanity to survive itself certain things must coincide and even detonate -- as with stars that explode to give birth to the elements that make us what we are. He must work to get all these elements into his hands and make sure, this time, that God''s message gets delivered, in spite of the intentions of the Vatican and others. This is a story about the politics of religion, a ''what if'' scenario meant to show how our all-too-human religious drama actually unfolds. "The human race is governed by imagination." -- Napoleon

Leaders of Tomorrow: Voices from the Field 15 School Leaders. 15 Untold Stories. One Book That Will Change How You Lead. Education is under siege. AI is rewriting the rules. Teacher shortages are deepening. School boards are more political than ever. Enrollment is declining. And the leaders holding it all together — the superintendents, principals, and system leaders running schools every day — have never been under more pressure. This book is their playbook. Leaders of Tomorrow is a collection of 15 chapters written entirely by practicing school leaders — not consultants, not academics, not policy analysts — who are solving the hardest problems in American education right now. Each author opens up about what actually worked in their district, what failed, and what they wish someone had told them before they took the job. The 15 authors span 12 states, have collectively led over 30 school districts, and bring more than 400 combined years of K–12 leadership experience. Their districts range from Chicago Public Schools (320,000 students) and Clark County School District (300,000+) to rural communities in Minnesota and New Mexico where a single leader knows every child by name. The group includes multiple state Superintendents of the Year, national award winners, and a Chiefs for Change Future Chief. The book is organized around five leadership roles every school leader must learn to play — sometimes all in the same week: The Ambassador — How to navigate school board politics, survive public comment, and build community trust that holds when things get hard. The Cultivator — How to build resilient leadership teams, find transformational talent hiding in your own buildings, and have the courage to grow struggling teachers — or let them go. The Builder — How to turn around a school everyone has given up on, create alternative environments for students who can''t thrive in traditional settings, and build systems of safety and belonging at scale. The Pathfinder — How to redesign career readiness from kindergarten through graduation and build a Portrait of a Graduate that actually changes how your system operates. The Innovator — How to reimagine the school calendar (and survive the backlash), deliver world-class education in rural communities, and differentiate instruction for neurodiverse learners in every classroom. This is not a textbook. It is not a policy brief. It is a reference guide you keep within arm''s reach — something you return to when you are stuck, when you need a strategy, or when you need to hear another leader''s voice saying: I have been there, and here is what I learned. Curated by TomoClub, the education technology company behind 150+ podcast episodes with school leaders and a growing community of practitioners committed to future-ready education. For the superintendent who just got off a three-hour board meeting and is sitting alone in their car, wondering if any of it mattered. For the principal who is two years into a turnaround and cannot yet see the light. For the veteran who needs to be reminded why they chose this work. And for the newcomer who needs to know that choosing this work is one of the most important decisions they will ever make.
