Same Kind of Different As Me by Ron Hall & Denver Moore

The Word says God don’t give us credit for lovin the folks we want to love anyway. No, He gives us credit for loving the unlovable. The perfect love of God don’t come with no conditions. – Denver Moore

Just finished this true story co-authored by two men who’s lives could not have started out more differently. Spoiler alert…they find a common bond of faith and hope when an exceptional woman touches both of their lives, and the lives of many others.

The book shifts authors in quick chapters between Denver Moore, a black man who lived a pitifully poor and oppressed life in modern day southern United States to Ron Hall a college educated white man who blythely finds a beautiful devoted wife and stumbles into a wildly successful career as an art dealer.

Deborah Hall is the woman who has faith in her unfaithful husband, and exceptional faith in finding hope and promise at Union Gosel Mission in Fort Worth Texas. There, Miss Debbie sees potential for change when Ron and most others see despair and just a place to volunteer and maybe score points to get into heaven.

The story inspired and challenged without being dramatic or saccharine. It rings true and truth is a beautiful thing to share.

The story was made into a film in 2017.
