Review of Same Kind of Difference As Me

Review:

Denver grew up in a time when black people where free, but you find out fast that America might say they are free, though some did not treat them as free. Denver lived a very long time being homeless and he did not trust white people.

Deborah was a lady who after becoming Christian wanted to do something good and would go to the homeless shelter and volunteer. Denver could never understand why this rich white lady would want anything to do with him, but she just wanted to show him Christ love. After a little nudge from her, her husband Ron became friends with Denver.

Slavery can be seen in many different forms, it is not just a physical bondage but can be a spiritual one as well. When Ron and Deborah become Christians they open their hearts to the homeless. Deborah takes a special liking to Denver and sees him as a child of God. Ron is not as sure about Denver as his wife but because his wife wants him too he becomes friends with Denver, but it was very shaky at first.

Denver was born after slavery but in the south the plantations still treated their help as slaves while he was growing up. He was not so keen on trusting no white person to help him, but he could see something in the Hall's that drew him to them. Once he opened his heart to God, he formed a bond with the Hall's that would never be broken. He had finally found a place to call home.

It was a very moving and powerful story about how three lives were changed when God became the center piece. How three very different people with extremely different backgrounds where really not that different. It is a story that will make you laugh, make you cry and make you want to be a better person. I have never had a story touch my heart as much as Same Kind of Difference As Me did. Never been much for reading non-fiction but this is a story that you must read and I recommend it for everyone.
