Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) March 17, 2005 -- A new, self-help/inspirational novel is earning praise from teachers, business people, self-help experts, students, and others for its pearls of wisdom" about succeeding in the "obstacle course of life". "The Obstacle Course", by Neal R. Voron, co-founder of RyKy Records (tm), has already inspired a musical, due to be released this year as a CD album. Purchasers of the book on Friday, March 18, 2005, can get a sneak peek at streaming audios of a pre-release draft version of the entire musical, plus other bonus items. Details about the bonuses will be posted Friday at http://www.TheObstacleCourse.com
The story, about an old but untraditional teacher and his class, challenges the "routine" and keeps the reader guessing about what will happen next. Along the way, readers experience Dr. Ernest Acton's 'class' about dealing with life's happenings and the things you would like to happen.
A teacher who wrote the book's foreword, Sharol Brunner, called The Obstacle Course "the 'classroom' experience of a lifetime... Whether you are ten years old or 100 years old, this book will give you simple insight into some of life's toughest and greatest lessons."
Steve Moore, of Personal-Development.com, said, "I have studied and published self-help information for many years, and rarely do I see something as unique and fresh as The Obstacle Course"... these lessons are some of the most important things to know in life, things which aren't typically learned in school."
"Prepare to be changed forever after reading this amazing work," said Andy O'Bryan, founder of Principal Visions, LLC.
Best-selling author Joe Vitale called The Obstacle Course a "fast, fun, mind-expanding good read."
And Josh Hinds, CEO of GetMotivation.com, said, "I'm a firm believer that - right along with teaching math, reading, and history - our schools and universities should be teaching the ideas that are shared in this novel. Everyone can benefit from the lessons that Dr. Acton teaches in The Obstacle Course... Neal R. Voron has a winner in this book... and, in this case, you'll receive the rewards in your life from applying the principles shared."
The story so inspired Joseph F.M. Pokorny, a songwriter, composer, musician, and performer who has written over 800 songs and about 15 musicals and cantatas, that he created "The Obstacle Course Musical", which is due for release later this year.
Voron, the book's author, has arranged to provide bonus items to individuals who purchase one or more copies of "The Obstacle Course" (ISBN 1418447390) on Friday, March 18th by midnight and who email a copy of their receipt to him at nvoron(at)TheObstacleCourse.com.
