Publisher Comments:

Meet Denver, a man raised under plantation-style slavery in Louisiana in the 1960s; a man who escaped, hopping a train to wander, homeless, for eighteen years on the streets of Dallas, Texas. No longer a slave, Denver's life was still hopeless — until God moved. First came a godly woman who prayed, listened, and obeyed. And then came her husband, Ron, an international arts dealer at home in a world of Armani-suited millionaires. And then they all came together.

But slavery takes many forms. Deborah discovers that she has cancer. In the face of possible death, she charges her husband to rescue Denver. Who will be saved, and who will be lost? What is the future for these unlikely three? What is God doing?

Same Kind of Different As Me is the emotional tale of their story: a telling of pain and laughter, doubt and tears, dug out between the bondages of this earth and the free possibility of heaven. No reader or listener will ever forget it.

Synopsis:

A modern-day slave and an international art dealer are bound together by a dying womans faith. Will Ron, the art dealer, be able to embrace Denver, whos been homeless for almost 20 years? Will Denver learn to trust a white man? Theres pain and laughter, doubt and tears, and in the end a triumphal story.

I have not read this book yet, but I will say I will be looking forward to getting it and reading it!!! I think it sound like it is not only a true story, but a story that will bring the reader back to "God", and/or the readers spiritual side. I think we all need to be more aware of life and the how we should treasure the things we take for granted! Good reading and I will be purchasing this one soon!

a Wow! true story, which opens your eyes and especially your heart. The engaging of unlikely friendships, and showing that unconditional love can happen. The term 'catch and release' will never mean the same. Many tears... This book was selected for our church-wide group study with the theme "choosing to love"; even though people appear to be different on the surface, we may find that they share a common love for one another.
