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.

Review Summary: same kind of different as me Date: 2008-11-30
 
Details: This book was highly recommended by my sister and then three of my good friends, so I went out and downloaded the audio version, which is how I usually "read.' I could tell right away that it was abridged.
Therefor, I bought and actually sat down to read the book. It was great. I had so much fun sitting there with a cup (well, several cups) of tea. I learned a lot. I did not know that racism still exists to this extent.
But the book is not about racism, it is about love, giving and receiving.
Read it!!!
 
Review Summary: Open your eyes Date: 2008-11-27
 
Details: For those of us who wish we could believe that a certain kind of America was left behind in the 1800's or 1960's, this is a book of both truth and hope. This story is powerful both in its portrayal of reality and its substantiation of the difference which can still be made by individual people who dare to care. It is a story, not a treatise on how to change the institutions. But, it just may bring you to tears followed by action.
 
Review Summary: Amazing Story Date: 2008-11-23
 
Details: The story had me gripped right away. Each chapter switched to each of the two main characters telling thier side of the story.
Here I was thinking it was great storytelling when I realized the story was non-fiction! This made the experience even more intense and beautiful.
This is a wonderful book. I highly recommend it.
