Book Review - Same Kind of Different as Me

There are only a few books that I've read in two sittings. Same Kind of Different as Me is now on that short list. I read the first half of it last Saturday on the plane from Guatemala City to Atlanta. I read the second half last night.

What an incredible story!

It's a true and unlikely story about a wealthy Texas art dealer and his wife, passionate to show God's love to the homeless, and a hobo who spent most of his life as a modern-day slave (sharecropper) in Louisiana. The initial thought is that the story is about how the rich Texans would change the homeless man's life - and they did. But Denver, the homeless man, changed them much more.

Same Kind of Different as Me is a touching and powerful story about God's grace and mercy and the value of relationships. I highly recommend it. 5 STARS!
