Same Kind of Different As Me

This is the most recent Book Sneeze book that I've had the pleasure of reading. It is a true story about a friendship that grows between two very unlikely men, and the woman that brings them together. Which of your friendships do you think is the one that would be considered the "most unlikely" friend. Tell us why. Read my review on my Book Sneeze page of my website. I was given this book by Thomas Nelson Publishing as part of their BookSneeze.com blogger program and had the right to share my review, whether positive or negative.

Same Kind of Different as Me is a good read that tells the true story of Ron Hall and Denver Moore. Readers soon find out that these two men come from two very different worlds. Each man tells his story and the authors let us in on how their two lives intersect. Denver is a poor black man referred to as a modern-day slave and readers will find his life’s story is the most interesting to read. Readers will experience many emotions learning all about this man. The flipside of Denver’s story is that of Ron’s, the rich white man. I found his chapters in the book not to be as enjoyable to read. It is because of Ron’s wife, Deborah that the two men’s lives intertwine. There is a lot of Christian theology shared throughout this book, some of it a bit questionable. It’s worth the read and knowing that it is a true story of friendship across racial and socio-economic lines makes it most interesting. I appreciated knowing that the proceeds of the book have been dedicated to help “carry on Deborah’s vision of helping the Lord’s most unfortunate children.”
