Product Description
A dangerous, homeless drifter who grew up picking cotton in virtual slavery. An upscale art dealer accustomed to the world of Armani and Chanel. A gutsy woman with a stubborn dream. A story so incredible no novelist would dare dream it. It begins outside a burning plantation hut in Louisiana . . . and an East Texas honky-tonk . . . and, without a doubt, in the heart of God. It unfolds in a Hollywood hacienda . . . an upscale New York gallery . . . a downtown dumpster . . . a Texas ranch. Gritty with pain and betrayal and brutality, this true story also shines with an unexpected, life-changing love.

One of my favorite true stories of all times! August 25, 2008
This book is amazing. I love biographies and autobiographies and this is definitely one of my favorites. I got the chance to meet the authors and they are very genuine guys, with a desire to tell their story to encourage others. I have given this book as a gift many times because I think everyone should hear their story.
Sane Kind of different As Me August 25, 2008
This is one of the most moving books I have read in a long time and I read every day. It's a modern day story of faith, trust and obedience in what God has called them to do. As you share their journey you will laugh and you will cry. Most of all it is a true story to take deep into your heart.
Same Kind of Different As Me August 24, 2008
One of the most compelling books I've read. The doubts and fears of Ron Hall are raw, humorous and convicting. Denver's life in US slavery and his later friendship with Hall and his wife are true evidences of the redemption on Jesus Christ. A real roller-coaster ride of emotions! A must read!
Compelling and Thought Provoking August 22, 2008
I borrowed this book from a friend around lunch and by bedtime, I had it read. It's that compelling. I wanted to know what happened to the people I met in the first several chapters. It has enriched my life and caused me to think outside my little world. The best thing I have to say about this book is that many people I know who have read it, have done something about it. It caused them to get out and do something to help other people.
Denver Proves to Us that No Matter How Worthless You Feel, You Can Change the World! August 20, 2008
You must read this book. You will be humbled, encouraged, challenged and heart broken as you read this gripping true story of three very different people with more in common that you can imagine. Have you ever felt worthless? Ever wrestled with prejudice or apathy? Or have you felt you were better than someone? Come on now, haven't we all at some level felt all of these feelings at one time or other? Read SAME KIND OF DIFFERENT AS ME. It will show you the world from another's eyes. You'll see how we lose out for judging others so quickly, no matter their race, social status or gender! SAME KIND OF DIFFERENT AS ME is the true story of Ron Hall, a wealthy art dealer, his precious wife Debbie Hall and Denver Moore, a homeless man who never had a chance in life--not even a chance to go to school. They meet up when Ron's wife Debbie begs him to join her in volunteering at a homeless shelter. My oh my, we all have so much to learn. Ever think God was a respecter of persons? Then read this book and think again. If you ever wondered how God can use you, even if you feel you are worthless or unimportant, then read this book. Denver Moore may have been an uneducated homeless man, but God loves him and has/had a specific plan for his life from the day he was born...a plan bigger than he could have ever dreamed! God has used him to change me. Thank you Denver and Ron for sharing your story. Thank you Debbie for living your life free from regrets! May I take your challenge and live every day of my life as though it was my last, no matter the circumstance. Read the story of Ron, Debbie and Denver and change your life today!
