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.
5 Stars same kind of different as me
I loved this book. Inspirational and made me cry. I have recommended to all my friends.
5 Stars The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo
The many surprise plot twists keep the reader interested in the sympathetic male character. THe slow development of the strangely drawn title character leaves the reader deciding that the author may have grown tired of this lengthy deltailed work, and hurriedly brought things to an impossible conclusion.
I liked the book, except for the inclusion of sado-masochist bits, which I do not enjoy reading, and the specific descriptions, I felt, were not necessary to the enjoyment of the plot.
4 Stars Inspirational
This is an inspirational, uplifting, and quotable. We are all homeless, heading for our eternal home. We are all different, but all the same.
4 Stars Excellent
This was a true story that held my attention all the way. It was honest, compassionate and gripping. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys non-fiction that is well written.
4 Stars Thought provoking book
This book was touching. There were so many different types of personalities from many different walks of life. However, the author did justice to the similarities within them all. The book was thought provoking about friendship, family, and our prejudices.
