THE EMPTY DESK

When the Desk Is Empty, Instruction Stops

An empty desk represents more than a missing student.

It represents instruction missed, relationships interrupted, opportunities delayed, and sometimes a child silently asking adults to recognize a barrier no one has yet addressed.

The Empty Desk challenges educators, leaders, families, and communities to rethink chronic absenteeism.

Rather than simply asking why students are absent, the book encourages readers to examine the conditions influencing attendance and identify meaningful strategies for bringing students back into the educational community.

A STAR THAT HAS NO SHINE

I AM AN OVERCOMER

Your Light May Grow Dim, but Your Purpose Remains

There are seasons when life’s circumstances can make even the brightest star appear to have lost its shine. Dr. Sharon Powell knows those seasons.

A Star That Has No Shine: I Am an Overcomer is a journey through adversity, faith, family, loss, ministry, education, perseverance, healing, and purpose.

It is more than the story of what happened. It is the story of what happened next.

The message is for the person who has wondered:

Can I recover?

Can I begin again?

Does my life still have purpose?

Can God use me after everything I have experienced?

The answer running throughout the story is: Yes.

Your circumstances may have affected your shine.

They do not own your star.

The Overcomer’s Message

I have experienced hardship, but hardship did not have the final word.
I have experienced disappointment, but disappointment did not destroy my destiny.
I have experienced seasons when my star did not seem to shine, but I discovered that the light was still there.
I am still standing.
I am still believing.
I am still becoming.
I am an overcomer.
