Summary: Eye-opening and fascinating
Comments: Last month my sister-in-law read a book called "Same Kind of Different as Me" and when she was done, she highly endorseed that I read it. This week I found myself with a copy and thought I would give it a try. I am glad I did - 'Same Kind of Different As Me' is an amazing book: gripping, inspirational, and eye-opening as well.
The book interweaves the stories of2men who on the outside seem different. Ron is a rich international art dealer, and Denver was raised as a sharecropper, did time in prison, and becomes homeless on the streets of Ft. Worth. The story of how they met, how they became friends, and what they learn from each other is fascinating. Hearing2(and different) sides of many events in the book was interesting. there is a pervasive spiritual aspect to the book, as the faith of the main characters (and Ron's wife Deborah) play a crucial role in who they are and what they do. (For me that was a positive factor, however if that concerns you, do not worry - they do not get all preachy!!)
What was particularly interesting for me was as side effect of diving in so quick that I did not realize something important... I thought the book was fiction and only after I finished did I realize it was not!! The idea that within my lifetime there have been people still living in conditions indistinguishable from sla, facing unthinkable racial hatred, was chilling. That background made the building of a friendship between the2men even more incredible. The power of love and faith that puts itself into action - not just from a distance however up close and personal - triumphs in a touching way in "Same Kind of Different as Me". I highly endorse the book for any reader!! (Actually, for the non-reader, I would endorse the book on Audio CD or audio download.) |

Summary: Same kind of different as me
Comments: This is an incredible story that almost all 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. |
