Item Description...
Overview
A dangerous, homeless drifter who grew up picking cotton in virtual slavery.
An upscale art dealer accustomed to the world of Armani and Chanel.
A gutsy woman with a stubborn dream.
A story so incredible no novelist would dare dream it.
It begins outside a burning plantation hut in Louisiana . . . and an East Texas honky-tonk . . . and, without a doubt, in the heart of God. It unfolds in a Hollywood hacienda . . . an upscale New York gallery . . . a downtown dumpster . . . a Texas ranch.
Gritty with pain and betrayal and brutality, this true story also shines with an unexpected, life-changing love.
Publishers Description
Meet Denver, a man raised under plantation-style slavery in Louisiana in the 1960s; a man who escaped, hopping a train to wander, homeless, for eighteen years on the streets of Dallas, Texas. No longer a slave, Denver's life was still hopeless-until God moved. First came a godly woman who prayed, listened, and obeyed. And then came her husband, Ron, an international arts dealer at home in a world of Armani-suited millionaires. And then they all came together.But slavery takes many forms. Deborah discovers that she has cancer. In the face of possible death, she charges her husband to rescue Denver. Who will be saved, and who will be lost? What is the future for these unlikely three? What is God doing? Same Kind of Different As Me is the emotional tale of their story: a telling of pain and laughter, doubt and tears, dug out between the bondages of this earth and the free possibility of heaven. No reader or listener will ever forget it.

 | Same Kind of Different As Me Mar 10, 2008 |
| This book was recommended by a friend. I loved it and couldn't put it down. I live in Dallas Tx so for the setting to be close to here also made a difference to me. It is an easy read but one you don't want to put down until you are finished. How proud Miss Debbie would be of Denver today! | | | | The most moving book I've read in a long time! Mar 5, 2008 |
| I cannot remember the last time I read a book as moving as this. The book shows the material disparity between the haves and the have nots while emphazising the fact that spiritual richness knows no ecomnomic boundaries. It also helped to dispell some of the ridiculously biased attitudes and prejudices I had concerning the homeless. This is a fabulous story of God's love, grace, and redemptive power to change the heart of all people regardless of race, social class, gender, or culture. I have been truly blessed by reading Ron and Denver's story. | | |  | Pretty shallow, but it may have its place Feb 24, 2008 |
I read this book because it was chosen as the ONE CITY/ONE BOOK choice for my city. Literature, it is not. Thoughtful? No way! This book reminds me of when I was a teenager lying on the couch fantasizing about climbing Mount Everest as I read the National Geographic with my feet propped up. I expect its readers will fantasize about developing a meaningful cross-cultural relationship and go on to something else in a few weeks. Ron Hall is a very rich art dealer whose wife Debbie befriended an illiterate street man and more or less involved Ron before dying of cancer. Apparently Ron wrote the story while dealing with his grief, added Denver's words (partly in dialect) using a tape recorder or something, got a third person to fix it up somewhat, and published it as a vanity publication. How, why, or on what terms Thomas Nelson later picked it up is not clear. I personally was uninspired by the way it glossed over all the hard and meaningful social questions and by the apparent ego-trip for Ron. I also found it poorly written and really fuzzy when it came to details about things like whether Denver ever learned to read and what can be done about today's deprived children. On the other hand, I did eventually climb mountains in Nepal. Maybe this book can plant the first seeds of some worthwhile questions for young people who would not have otherwise thought outside of their bubble.

This is a must read and I am not one who is prone to sit down and read a book very often. I couldn't put it down once I started and came away with a refreshed outlook on life. My focus and purpose in life have been challenged to new depths.
| | | | Same Kind of Different as Me is an absolutely wonderful book Feb 16, 2008 |
I have just finished reading "Same Kind of Different as Me" by Ron Hall and Denver Moore, and it is, literally, one of the finest books that I've read in several years. I generally read a lot of fiction, but this book is so much more compelling and inspiring than any work of fiction in a long time. It almost drove me to tears.
My mother gave this book to me for Christmas (2007) recently, and said that she had been very moved by it. And, believe me, I can see why! This story of two men, one white art dealer, and another, a home-less black man from the Louisaina slavery plantations, who are brought together
through an inner-city shelter for the homeless in Fort Worth, Texas. Mr. Hall's wife, Debbie, also played a huge part in bringing the two men together because of her faith and diligence in improving conditions for the homeless.
The two men's trials and experiences together shed new light on the different sides of life that the other had not known before. Especially Mr. Hall, who experiences signs from God that he had never taken very seriuosly before.
It is a truly moving, touching and awe-inspiring book that everyone needs to read. | | | Write your own review about Bktrax-Disc-Same Kind Of Different/Me (Abrd) (3CD)
