It is rare that multiple authors come from the same family. This is the case for the Norwood family of Alabama and Michigan.

Pamela Norwood is Anthony’s mother and released her book, Sweet Inspirations for the Soul, in February, 2008. It is a great, little book that was written under a time of great grief and stress during Pamela’s life not many years after the unexpected death of her husband, Allan T. Norwood, in 2003. Anthony Norwood has aspired to write Christian books for a long time in his life and God has blessed this dream to become a reality with the release of the book, Bible Understanding Made Easy, Volume 1: The Old Testament, in July, 2008. This wonderful book is for the student of the Bible that wants to know the truth of God’s Word from Genesis to Malachi! The style of the book is very easy for all to understand, but challenging enough for the Bible scholar to ponder!
