Opis

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.
