Product 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 January 7, 2009
This is an incredible story that most people should read, however, it is not for the faint of heart. There were many times that I had to stop reading because I couldn't focus my eyes through all the tears. Still, the bottom line is that God has a plan for our lives and He can do incredible things through us if we just submit ourselves.

This is a wonderful book about the power of God to change lives which are committed to Him through faith in Jesus. Two men from opposite ends of the social spectrum come to trust and help each other because they are transformed by the power of God's love.
One of the most awesome books I've ever read! January 6, 2009
This book gives an amazing account of being homeless and how people everywhere have the same wishes, wants, and needs - to be loved and to love.

The story begins in rural Red River Parish, Louisiana with a young man who seems to be bound to the land. He is at a loss when his family die in a fire and he begins to wander. At the saame time, a student begins to attend East Texas State College ( now Texas A&M -Commerce). This young man from West Texas is somewhat of a wanderer too. He changes college and life style when he attends TCU and life begins for him, Falling in love with a girl name Deborah changes his life. Debbie is a true believer and as her husband Ron climbs the ladder of success, she begins to do little acts of Kindness . These acts include the changing of the lives of all she meets, especially Denver Moore. She is not a do gooder but an honest person who lives her faith.
I could not stop reading the book for two days. It conveys ideas that are true to a praciticing Christyian and Debbie is truly an Angle of God who becomes as the prayer says a Guardian dear.

First of all, I truly loved the fact that it is a true story. The format was interesting and unusual as it flipped from the perspective of the art dealer and Dallas. A simple presentation viewed through two sets of eyes and hearts colored by their own experiences. Great insights!
