BOOK 40: Same Kind of Different As Me, by Ron Hall & Denver Moore
Rating: 4 stars
Cover synopsis: 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.
This is a true story about the power of service, friendship and God. And a nice reminder of what's really important in life.
Warning: It's a tear-jerker. I read this on a cross-country flight, and I was sniveling like a baby. I'm sure my seat mates loved that!
