*Bobby goes into business, and is told quickly that he can choose either religion or managerial success; he chooses the latter.  Like Frank, Bobby attends church to impress others, and as such his guardian angel also leaves him.  He is portrayed as being like the thin soil.

*Charlie becomes a famous preacher ("The Reverend Dr. Charles Z.W. Sawyer, D.D."), but is shown as being an ecumenical preacher who doesn't preach the true Gospel, his true goal being fame and riches.  Furthermore, he is shown as having issue with lust (he is in his fourth marriage, and having an affair with his secretary on the side).  His guardian angel left during his second year of Bible college.  He is portrayed as being like the thorn-infested soil.

*Henry also becomes a preacher, but nowhere near as famous as Charlie, for he preaches the true Gospel, working in a rundown mission "on the wrong side of the tracks".  His guardian angel is still with him, again keeping him busy.

Invited to a family reunion, Henry refuses to attend until after dinner, taking seriously the verse in I Corinthians 5:11 about not eating with one called a brother who is a fornicator.  Henry tells Charlie he is a fraud to his face, quoting several Bible verses; Frank and Bobby take up for Charlie and refuse Henry's pleadings to accept Christ (being swayed by Charlie who says that Henry is part of the "lunatic fringe" while he has a Doctor of Divinity).  The four brothers never meet again and eventually all four die.
