Book Review: Same Kind of Different as Me by Ron Hall and Denver Moore



This book is a true story about the relationship between two men with very different backgrounds and lifestyles. Ron Hall is a white businessmen who deals in art worth millions of dollars. Denver Moore is a black man who was born into twentieth century slavery on a plantation in Louisiana. This book, however, is not about their differences, but how they came together to do great work for the Lord. More than that, this book is about Hall's wife who was the catalyst for their relationship, and it shows how one person can accomplish much.

When I ordered this book from Booksneeze, I have to admit that I wasn't sure I would enjoy it, but I did think I would learn some things from reading it. After I started reading it, I wanted to put it down because there are some hard things in it (Moore's past), but I persevered. I discovered that I was really enjoying this book after I had read about a quarter of it. And my enjoyment only grew as I read more and more. Seeing what one couple (the Halls) were able to accomplish has made me think about what I can do. How can I help those who are less fortunate than I am? As I said before, I really enjoyed this book, and I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a way to minister to the lost, especially the homeless.

I want to thank Booksneeze for this book which they sent me in return for my impartial review.
