Keeping my mind active - Book Review - "Same Kind of Different As Me"

I recently read "Same Kind of Different As Me." By Ron Hall & Denver Moore with Lynn Vincent. I found this to be a very interesting, very enlightening book. I had to keep telling myself that this was a true story. An international art dealer, his wife and a modern day sharecropper with seemingly nothing in common join up to become an unforgettable trio. Through ministry efforts to reach out to the homeless in their community, Ron and Debbie Hall found Denver. With gentle persistence and loving compassion, they broke through Denver's self imposed wall of solitude. What followed was nothing short of a miracle. This book touched me deeply. Many times I had to put it down, I found it difficult to read through my tears. Very well written, it will open your eyes and make you think. Yes, there are things that we can do, as individuals, to help make life better for others. An open heart and a willingness to listen can go a long way. I rate this book 5 stars!
