Everybody's Favorite Brother (A real DC story) is a book about family life, faith, inspiration, growing up in the inner city, and black family life. It is a semi autobiography of the author, written about how his favorite brother's life touched his entire family. It is an inspirational book for children and for people of all ages. It is written in the hope to motivate and inspire children to live on the right side of the law. Through some of the authors, and his family, trials and tirbulations he tries to connect to the young reader with realism by showing the consequences of one's actions. It is an awesome and dramatic read for adults as well, because it deals with spirituality, faith, drugs and family life. This is a true story written from the authors memoirs. 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's sibling, 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.
