Same Kind of Different As Me

I can honestly say, this book will change your life...or atleast the way you look at life. There were parts of this story that made me cringe with disgust, there were parts where I laughed, there were parts where I had to put the book down in anger, there were times I felt like I needed to pray, there were many times when I wept...literally wept with a hand full of tissues and all.

I was so impressed and changed by this book...so impressed and emotionally changed by this book that I have yet to be able to express exactly what I thought of it. I just have it all in my head...I keep thinking of it... I may have to read it again...actually I think I will do that.

Please, please, please, do me a favor and read this book! And let me know what you think of it when you are finished! Maybe by then, I will be finished with my "second run" on the book and will be able to discuss more about it with you! It is a fast read...I promise!

Below is a short synopsis from Barnes and Noble (they always are better at summarizing than I am.)

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.
