same kind of different as me. by Ron Hall and Denver Moore


“same kind of different as me.” by Ron Hall & Denver Moore gets all five stars from me.  I finally read a book that was a great story (true, by the way) and well-written too.  This is the story of two men who grew up in vastly different worlds and had their worlds collide, resulting in a strong, family-like bond.  Though this is a book written by Christians, and includes strong themes of ministry and how one person can make a huge difference when they choose to obey God, I wouldn’t consider it a “Christian” book.  It was beautifully written in an honest, personal way that simply shares life stories and is refreshingly not cliché.  I recommend that each of you go out and get your hands on this book.  I can certainly see how it earned the title of “New York Times Bestseller.”  Well done.

I received this book from the Thomas Nelson Booksneeze book review program and am under no obligation to give a positive review.
