12 Brothers
From a coat-of-many-colors to a throne over the land of Egypt.
Re-written for 2020...
His father loved him so much he made him a coat of many colors, much to the chagrin of his older brothers. They tossed him down a hole in the ground like yesterday’s garbage only to be hauled up later to be sold into slavery by His captors. His own brothers no less except for one brother younger than him. Sold in a marketplace in a foreign land to a man whose language he couldn’t understand. Accused without justifiable cause for a crime he never committed. Meet Joseph as he lives out his dreams along with his eleven brothers.
Tossed down a hole in the ground like yesterday’s garbage. His captors hauled up later to sell into slavery. By his own brothers no less. Sold in a marketplace in a foreign land to a man whose language he couldn’t understand. Accused without justifiable cause for a crime he never committed. Sent to a dungeon to live out his life with the lowest of criminals.
A fitting end for a young man whose only crime was dreaming while he tended sheep? Or is Joseph a part of a Master Plan to uproot an entire nation? From an accused rapist to the man who saved his adopted land from famine and certain death. Meet Joseph as he lives out his dreams along with his eleven brothers.

A Pitbull’s Life – Chuckie’s Future
Will Amara’s secret from long ago cause significant changes in the way Melanie runs Bos Taurus Acres and her veterinarian non-profit?
Will Chuckie’s death and that of out-of-state protesters enable an unscrupulous developer a chance to turn Bos Taurus Acres and the surrounding area into another retirement center?
Melanie misses her parents, yet she’s grateful they aren’t alive to see how the area is coming under attack from within and without the region. One thing Melanie is thankful for, parents that loved her and raised her and her brother, Bailey, and sister, Jenny, to be able to withstand adversity.
New residents from outside Oklahoma, fleeing from states with oppressive taxes and regulations, move into the area with the idea that change needs to come into the area so they will feel at home as they call it. Less-than-honest administrations staff local government offices such as Animal Control and the County Sheriff.
Everyone in the area knows the recent election was rigged in favor of the current Sheriff who is one of the newer people to the area.
Uncaring medical people push for Breed Specific Legislation focusing on removing pit bulls like Chuckie from the area. The area, upset about a dog roaming the area at night, raiding chicken coops is fanning the flames of anti-pit bull rhetoric.
Making matters worse is the arrival of a building developer who specializes in turning once rural areas into retirement communities for the well-to-do from the northern part of the country.
Rounding out the tension in her life, Melanie learns of a secret concerning her late mother, Chuckie and an out-of-state company that Melanie has never heard of before. Among the many questions she has about the matter, Melanie wonders if her late father knew of this secret. If he did know, way did he not tell her about it?
A Pitbull’s Life – Chuckie’s Legacy
Will Chuckie be remembered by his adoptive family or forgotten like yesterday's sunset
Bos Taurus Acres, once a leading cattle ranch, operated by a Cherokee man and his biracial family. Newcomers from other parts of America have not only moved into the area but local politics as well. The goal of the newcomers: radical change for those who have lived in the area the longest. Cultures clash. Tempers flare. Death shows itself once again.
Bos Taurus Acres, a working cattle farm in Oklahoma. Home to the Oconostota family for several decades now. Conway, the patriarch. Amara, his wife, and matriarch along with their three children – Bailey, Jenny, and Melanie, the youngest of the three.
The once-rural yet peaceful area has many new faces, some of which are determined to change the area into one more fitting for their elite culture. The clash between the established homesteads and the newcomers brings tensions to a boil. Through it all, the Cherokee spirit resonates.
A Pitbull’s Life – Chuckie’s Past
Imagine a husband bringing an ex-fighter home to live with his pregnant wife and two small children. Who could have imagined what impact would have on the cattleman and his loving family?
Imagine a husband bringing an ex-fighter home to live with his pregnant wife and two small children. Who could have imagined what impact would have on the cattleman and his loving family? Worse yet, who could have imagined the riff-raff that would follow this so-called ex-fighter with the intention of forcing him back into the fight game? Will our ex-fighter ever outlive the many lives he has taken in the past?
Readers will soon discover that it was the wife’s idea for her husband, a full-blooded Cherokee, to bring the killer into their once quiet home on a hundred-acre cattle farm. Will the husband regret bringing the ex-fighter home or will he embrace the once violent animal as a friend and member of his loving family?
Learn about the woman who gave Chuckie, an ex-fighter, a chance to redeem himself from a life of fighting and killing so that he could become a member of her family. Chuckie still has ghosts of his past fights and past fight managers, it’s the woman’s hope Chuckie has put a life of killing behind him. Only time will tell.

Izzy, a mother nearing the end of her life, looks back over the loss of her husband, their four children, and their mysterious lives before their unfortunate deaths. Izzy Forrester, now living in an assisted living center, tells her close friend about the deaths of her husband right as his career as a pastor was touching so many lives. Izzy tells of the deaths of her children who all died after living lives so different, lives filled with mystery, from the ones Izzy and her husband envisioned for them.
Originally published as The Forrester Sisters a few years back, in 2019 we decided to rewrite it to remove some typos and add some to the story line. Because it’s advised to assign a new ISBN when a book has undergone extensive editing, we changed the ISBN along with the cover and gave the book a new title: A Mother’s Memories.

Two of her children served in the Marines, each of them pursuing separate branches of the American armed services. Two of her daughters were in the corporate world, one a sales manager for some global company while the other one worked as a long-haul trucker. Each child made their way back to their Mother in their time and their approach.

Turn If You Will…
Biblical Information Highway - A resource for studying the Word of God
COMING SOON!
Ever “discover” something when you’re reading the Word of God? Something you’ve read many times beforehand yet nothing “clicked” in your mind. One day the Holy Spirit opens your eyes and it’s like you noticed the text for the very first time.
“Turn If You Will” is a not only a Biblical Information Highway but a listing of Comprehensive Bible Helps and Bible Study Helps & References as well.
The rearmost part of the Bible is like an Biblical Information highway only in printed form. You’ll trivia information such as: “How many chapters: 1189,” “Verses: 23,214/Old Testament 7959/New Testament,” “Words: 622,771/Old Testament 184,590/New Testament,” and much more. The scriptural information available in the back of a Bible is amazing to use a tired word from the advertising field. The section on excuses against Christianity is worth a read as well.
There’s a ton of archaeological stuff in there. Plus the concordance is a huge source of research material.
A Bird’s Eye View of the Bible Illustrated
The Bible is a Lamp to our feet and a light to our pathway. To know it thoroughly is to be kept from stumbling, and to walk in the light is fellowship with Him who is the heart of the Book.
What better book to study than the Word of God? What better resource to commit to your life than the Word of God? What better way to spend your time than learning the word of God?
What better book to study than the Word of God? What better resource to commit to your life than the Word of God? What better way to spend your time than learning the word of God?
In this book by Frank Nelson Palmer you can do these things and more as you strive to learn the Word for yourself. This learning aid is not a paper on all books of the Bible or is it meant to be. What this book contains are materials which Bible teachers can build upon to teach the Word of God to their students. As the author puts it: a foundation for later detailing of the Word. If you should desire to teach yourself how to study the Bible this eBook is the one for you.
It is my hope that you make good use of the materials and charts put together by the author and reformatted for your eBook reader by my hands. The charts were special challenges, one to maintain Mr. Palmer’s text and two to make it more readable than simple text characters. Extensive work went into each of the new versions of his charts to enable them to be readable on all eBook platforms.
Who can use this eBook?
- Home study groups
- Personal studies
- Schools, Christian and non-Christian alike.
- Seminaries
- Small group studies
- Sunday School Classes
- This book took an extraordinary amount of time to format the text for readability. Some public domain works are ready to use and others need extensive work in order to be used in today’s digital reading devices. I have made a separate file available for those you who buy the book and use it for teaching the Word of God to your students.

LUTHER – The Method and Fruits of Justification
Martin Luther was a German professor of theology, composer, priest, monk, and a seminal figure in the Protestant Reformation.

CALVIN – Enduring Persecution for Christ
John Calvin was an influential French theologian, pastor and reformer in Geneva during the Protestant Reformation. He was a principal figure in the development of the system of Christian theology later called Calvinism, aspects of which include the doctrines of predestination and of the absolute sovereignty of God in salvation of the human soul from death and eternal damnation, in which doctrines Calvin was influenced by and elaborated upon the Augustinian and other Christian traditions. Various Congregational, Reformed, Reformed Baptists and Presbyterian churches, which look to Calvin as the chief expositor of their beliefs, have spread throughout the world.
