family.
It is an inspirational book for children and for people of all

Everybody's Favorite Brother is about a black family growing up in
Washington, DC in the 1960's and beyond. It deals with the pitfalls
and success stories of inner city youth. Although it is written
about a black family it deals with families of every ethnicity.
This story chronicle's the life of two brothers, one living a
regular life and the other living in the fast lane. The author was
a regular kid with dreams and aspirations to become successful in
life. He dreamed of playing football one day, going to college, and
playing in the NFL. He was big on education, reading and sports. It
was his love for sports that spurred his desire to read and become
successful in life. Although he sometimes ventured away from his
dreams, he always kept hope alive that he would be successful. He
realizes later that his dreams were attainable if he had received
more direction from mentors and/or adults.
The author'ssibling, JT, who is their favorite brother, lived in
the fast lane. A young man that could make you laugh and frown in a
moments notice. A troubled youth who was raised in a good, stable
home but found the bad element of the streets very easily. He did
not take to school and books like his younger brother (author);
however he used his life as a model to show him that the fast lane
led to a dead end.
JT lived his life as if there was no tomorrow. He lived his life at
twice the speed of people who strive to be successful by following
the laws of the land. Although a troubled youth, he was still a
good mentor, protector, companion and caring individual.
Everybody's Favorite Brother is sort of a modern day Black version
of the television mini-series "Rich Man, Poor Man." Which was about
two brothers, who grew up in the same home but lived two different
ways, one taking to crime and the other becoming successful.
Life has its way of showing us things that we never even imagine
were real. Through the authors' faith and acceptance of Jesus
Christ as his Lord and Savior, he learns that God is Omniscient
(all-knowing), Omnipresent (everywhere) and he truly speaks to us
in many ways.
Job 33:13-17
Why do you complain to him that he answers none of man's words? For
God does speak- now one way, now another- though man may not
perceive it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep
falls on men as they slumber in their beds, he may speak in their
ears and terrify them with warnings, to turn man from wrongdoing
and keep him from pride.
