SO INSPIRING!

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST WONDERFUL BOOKS THAT I HAVE READ IN A LONG TIME. IT MAKES ME WANT TO GO OUT AND VOLUNTEER FOR FEEDING THE HOMELESS OR SOMETHING. WHAT REALLY AMAZED ME WAS THAT DENVER HAD NEVER GONE TO SCHOOL, COULDN'T READ OR WRITE, BUT HE COULD QUOTE BIBLE SCRIPTURES. THEY BOTH LEARNED FROM EACH OTHER EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE FROM SUCH DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!

A Powerful Message

Although they say you cannot judge a book by its cover, that is not always true. And sometimes, just sometimes, I can judge a book by its title. That was so with Same Kind of Different As Me. I had just walked into the bookstore when this book caught my eye. I found the title original, eccentric, and intriguing. Then when I read the back cover, I was presented with the question, "What would bring a homeless black man, a rich white man, and a gutsy white woman with a dream together? I wanted to know.

If you buy Same Kind of Different As Me, do not look at the pictures in the middle until you finish reading the book. It spoiled things for me and caused a major distraction as I tried to finish the novel!

I never liked stories about slavery and the horrible things that happened to blacks because they all ended up the same way when black people ended up with the crappy end of the stick, but it was something about this book that kept me reading. Maybe it was the writing styles, maybe it was the atmosphere the authors created in my mind, or maybe it was the way Ron Hall and Denver Moore made me look at homelessness and generosity in a different way. These were the elements that kept me reading this insightful novel.

"In the twentieth century, slaves were free to leave the plantation, but their debt and lack of education kept them shackled to the Man." This passage shed light on the origin of the black man's struggle after slavery. It spoke volumes about its rippling effects as its residual oppression contributes to problems that some black men still experience today.

There were other passages in this novel that also spoke to me, like the times the rich man felt as if he were the student and the homeless man was teaching him when the wealthy man realized "....we'd enjoy life a whole lot more if we owned a whole lot less." Those words spoke truth and wisdom on so many levels.

Another passage that spoke to me was when the homeless man was describing the rich man's wife: "But it was the way she treated the homeless that made them accept her as their friend. She never asked em no questions, like how come you is here? Where you been? How come you done all them bad things in your life? She just loved em, no strings attached." Not only were those words powerful, but they made me think about the judgment that keeps people from helping others. The rich man's wife, Deborah, didn't have time to judge the less fortunate. All she saw were people who needed help. Her level of sincerity really moved me.

Because of its powerful message, I would definitely recommend this book to others.

Amazing book

There are few books that I'd call life-changing, but this is one of them. An absolute must read!

A very anointed book.....READ IT!

I recommend this book to everyone. It's very open, honest, and gritty. I love how the two authors go back & forth to weave a story that you can visualize. (This book would make an awesome movie.) It reminds me some of the Green Mile, so if you loved that book....you'll love this book too. I watched Denver on a show one day, and someone asked him how did your life get turned around like that. He said "I was always who I am, I was just deep under cover." The love of the three people in the book was palpable, and Christ's redeeming power shined through at the end. I cried a lot, the book is very moving. READ IT!
