Same Kind of Different as Me by Ron Hall


Before he knows him better, Ron has trouble believing Denver's comment that homeless life on the streets of a big city is a step up from his life growing up in Miss. This is true in part because, for Ron, childhood was a joyous time and the plush life of an affluent art dealer he now enjoys seemed to fall in his lap. The author allows each man to to tell his story in alternating chapters.

But, this book isn't just about Denver or Ron. It is about the partnership between Ron's wife,Debbie, and God. And then they all came together. Watch how Debbie uses love and unselfish caring to bring about change in both men and, in fact, everyone who knows her. When Debbie discovers that she has cancer, she charges both men to pick up the torch. Who will step up and who will be lost? What is the future for these unlikely three? What is God doing?

Have your hi-lighter handy to mark moments that you want to go back to and remember. Find out why Denver needs to know if Ron is a "catch and release" fisherman. Then there's the new interpretation of the "seed cast on the ground". Read this one as soon as you can get your hands on it. It's on order now for the CVL. Recommended by many, reviewed by Shirley Cunningham
