Author John W. Galambos’s New Book, “Nuts and Bolts—Thriving Your First Year in the Classroom,” is a Handy Guide for Those Entering the Profession of Education
Pilesgrove, NJ, March 30, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– John W. Galambos, a loving husband and educator for over two decades, has completed his new book, “Nuts and Bolts—Thriving Your First Year in the Classroom”: an insightful tool for new teachers to help navigate the day-to-day operations of teaching that are often not taught about in school.
After completing his undergraduate work at the University of Scranton in 1985, author John W. Galambos spent over twenty years in the classroom teaching earth science, biology, environmental science, and physics at the high school level. For fifteen years, Galambos worked in poultry plants in various management roles and, in 2017, he earned his graduate degree from Grand Canyon University. In his spare time, he enjoys hunting and gardening and lives with his wife, Cindy, in Assawoman, Virginia.
Galambos writes, “Teaching for the first time? You know the big picture—Bloom, Piaget, Skinner, Marzano, Ruby Payne, et al. What about the little things? The day-to-day stuff? This book was written to help beginning teachers with those sorts of things—the nuts and bolts. I wish a resource like this was available when I started teaching in 1985, and I hope that this book will help you thrive in your first year in the classroom.”
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, John W. Galambos’s new book goes beyond the basics of education, providing readers with a first-hand account of what one’s first year in the classroom might be like. From understanding the most important people to get to know at one’s school to getting to know one’s students and general advice, Galambos delivers the inside scoop that any first-year teacher needs to ensure they and their students succeed.
Readers can purchase “Nuts and Bolts—Thriving Your First Year in the Classroom” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

Bishop Jephthah Sotabinda’s Newly Released “Divine Verses Volume 2” is a Compelling Collection of Spiritual Messages Offering Divine Insight and Guidance
New York, NY, October 20, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– “Divine Verses Volume 2: Verses of Truth and Wisdom”: a spiritually rich continuation of divine teachings. “Divine Verses Volume 2: Verses of Truth and Wisdom” is the creation of published author, Bishop Jephthah Sotabinda, a poet, songwriter, and naturopath, dedicated foremost to serving as a messenger of Jesus Christ. From his adolescent years, he explored literary arts through children’s books, poems, and songs, but following his divine calling, he has focused on recording messages from God in his writings, known as Divine Verses.
Bishop Jephthah shares, “The verse-styled publication of the messages of the Lord Jesus Christ continues with volume 2 of the Divine Verses. This volume 2 is a sequel to the first and previous publication of the Divine Verses. As the holy spirit of God continues to impart the messenger of the Lord Jesus Christ, Bishop Jephthah, with the needed godly knowledge, another publication of the Divine Verses has to be born. Like the first and previous publication, this volume is also a thorough portrayal of pure divine truths and wisdom, as it brings absolute clarity on all kinds of truths, be it truths about life, love, or God. But the ultimate truth, which is the truth about God and his Son, Lord Jesus Christ, is the main foundation of the book because it is the highest truth in existence. For the reason that the Lord Jesus is desirous to see that everyone attains salvation, he continues to pass on his messages of truth to his messenger so that those who pay heed to them can be saved.”
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Bishop Jephthah Sotabinda’s new book inspires readers to deepen their understanding of God’s truth.
