Loved the book!

I loved the book. I bought one for everyone in my family. It is an easy read with short chapters that really makes it hard to put down because I would think that I would just read one more chapter, then because it was so short, I would read one more.

You fixin to be changed.....

The front cover says, " a modern day slave, an international art dealer, and the unlikely woman who bound them together. "

This is a powerful, fascinating story that covers the early 1950's to mid 2000 in Louisiana and Texas about a black, sharecropper (who was really a virtual slave) who became a hobo, hopping on and living on trains and then how he lived for 30 years as a homeless man on the streets of Fort Worth, Texas. This book is about the life of a homeless, dangerous man meeting up with a couple, Ron and Deborah and their story being interwoven together.

Denver speaks the language of rural Southern African American who has never gone to school, worked in the cotton fields from sunrise to sunset and never touched any money until he was an adult. For someone not from the South, the language may take a bit of getting used to......

Denver had never spoken to a white woman before until Miss Debbie. He wrote on Page 4," Miss Debbie was so pushy, I couldn't keep her from finding out my name was Denver. She investigated until she found it out on her own. For a long time, I tried to stay completely outta her way. But after a while, Miss Debbie got me to talkin `bout things I don't like to talk about and tellin things I ain't never told nobody -- even about them three boys with the rope. Some of them's the things I'm fixin to tell you. "

The wisdom and simplicity of those who do not have - will make you cry.....then make you start thinking hard and then move you to some kind of response. Don't be afraid to read this book.

moving, touching, and challenging

I laughed and cried as I read this book. I was really touched by the story and the power of God to move in our lives. It also challenged me to look at people differently and inspired me to want to live out my faith in new ways.

The most inspirational story I've ever read!

The true life friendship that developed between Ron Hall, an international art dealer, and Denver Moore, a homeless man, is very moving and inspirational. It's a story of faith and following God's guidance, and shows that we each can make a difference in someone's life if we just open ourselves up. Denver and Deborah's (Ron's wife)teachings of values and unconditional love are a gift and a blessing for us all. I'm even more commited now then ever to continue and expand my own spiritual mission.

Same Kind of Different As Me

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!
