Review: Same Kind of Different as Me

Same Kind of Different as Me by Ron Hall

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I would give this 4.5 stars. I really loved this book. The more I think about it, the more I keep learning from their story. Denver Moore was homeless. He had lived in ignorance and learned that to survive in life, he had to be tough and mean and disconnected. Ron Hall started out humbly enough but stumbled into the world of wealth, and was quite happy to be there. But his wife led him and their family in a different direction, a direction that taught Ron about compassion and trust. This truly is an amazing story filled with happy and painful moments. A couple of quotes I loved:

"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

"Our limitation is God's opportunity. When you get all the way to the end of your rope and there ain't nothin you can do, that's when God takes over.”
― Denver Moore

“Ever man should have the courage to stand up and face the enemy,' I said, 'cause ever person that looks like a enemy on the outside ain't necessarily one on the inside. We all has more in common that we think. You stood up with courage and faced me when I was dangerous, and it changed my life. You loved me for who I was on the inside, the person God meant for me to be, the one that had just gotten lost for a while on some ugly roads in life.” —Denver Moore
