same kind of different as me

It has been a long time since a book has touched my heart and called me to my responsibility to show love like God’s commands us to. Same Kind of Different As Me by Ron Hall and Denver Moore is the true story of two lives that couldn’t be farther apart. That is until a woman, Ron’s wife Debbie, felt called by God that she and her husband were to pursue a relationship with Denver at the homeless shelter they volunteered at and where Denver resided. The book is written in a way that gives you a very personal glimpse into each man’s past and how they became who they were when they met and what led them to Debbie, the woman that brought them together. It is a honest look at how much we can take for granted when we simply overlook the needs of others less fortunate and the subtle judgments we make, sometimes without even realizing it. Denver proves that profound wisdom can come in all forms and that it does not need a financial backing to be authentic. Ron shows us that while working hard to reach the goals we set up for ourselves in life, there are no guarantees, but we must not just look beyond the trials, but use them to better ourselves and others in any way possible. This is such heartfelt story, one that deserves to be read by everyone.
