Joseph B. Woodley is elated to announce his newest publication, “When the Prodigal Son Becomes the Father: Recognizing the Past, Reclaiming the Future”, a real- life, inspirational story.

Stemming from his failure to come to terms with the anger and resentment he held toward his absentee father, Joseph Woodley turned from his values, his faith in God and the Church, and onto a course of self-destruction which resulted in a broken marriage, womanizing and even going to jail. At the most hopeless place in life he finds salvation, spiritual and psychological healing, deliverance and comfort through faith and in becoming a single parent himself.

This empowering book is written for men, women and couples. This book is written for you. Interwoven throughout the book are words of wisdom and important lessons about coming to terms with the past and messages that challenge men to become great men by taking responsibility as fathers and families to elevate themselves above their issues and concerns. Remaining consistent and committed to faith and values is a prominent theme. It provokes readers to pause and consider why we make the choices we make; remove the binding chains of the past and open doors to a positive, productive and prosperous future as fathers, healthy families and a community.

“When the Prodigal Son Becomes the Father” is available through www.joseph-woodley.com and amazon.com.

Joseph Woodley has appeared as a special guest and been interviewed on numerous talk shows and events, nationwide. For additional information on scheduling an interview with the author Joseph Woodley please call 614 743- 3791 or email jwoo@joseph-woodley.com.

Students and parents in search of music lessons in their communities now have a simple, safe, and free resource at their fingertips. The North American Music Teachers Association (NAMTA) recently launched a new service designed to help students connect with trusted, qualified music teaching professionals.

According to David Terry, president and founder of NAMTA, a lot more people would be learning to play guitar, piano, violin, or learning to sing if they had an easier way to shop for quality instruction. That’s one of the main reasons he established NAMTA.

“Parents and students looking for quality, local music teachers and schools can access NAMTA free of charge. On our website, they can view professional music teaching web pages that showcase each music teacher’s unique qualifications and areas of expertise.”

NAMTA streamlines and simplifies the search for music lessons. “Students or parents can simply enter their preferred instrument and their zip code to view a list of reputable instructors and schools in their area,” Terry said. “Parents and students appreciate the fact that almost every NAMTA member offering music lessons has passed a background check.

“Every student or family has their own specific goals for music education,” Terry explains. “Whether that goal is to learn classical music on violin or piano, become master at rock, blues or jazz guitar, or learn or improve their vocal talents, NAMTA can help them connect with a professional music teacher that can help them achieve their musical aspirations.”

For more information, or start a search for music lessons, visit North American Music Teachers Association at www.namtamusic.com or call NAMTA at 888.861.6604.

North American Music Teachers Association is celebrating its Grand Opening. For a limited time, music teachers and music schools can receive a free, one year trial membership. Promo Code: NAMTA365
