Synopsis
By sharing the details of their unlikely friendship in SAME KIND OF DIFFERENT AS ME, Ron Hall, an upper-class white art dealer, and Denver Moore, a (formerly) homeless black man, touched the lives of thousands of readers--and here's the proof. In this follow-up, Hall and Moore share stories they have collected from people who were inspired by their book to make a real difference in the lives of someone less fortunate. Hall and Moore alternate chapters, using their distinct voices to present their own ideas about homelessness, illness, race, and faith and to reflect on the movement of compassion they helped spawn., Lives don't come much more hardscrabble than Denver Moore's: born in rural Louisiana, Moore, with his family, worked on a plantation where they were "paid" in credit instead of cash. In the 1960s he began riding the rails, living as a hobo--a life that eventually led to a 10-year stint in Louisiana's infamous Angola prison. Finally, in a Fort Worth homeless shelter, he became friends with Debbie Hall, and in turn Debbie's husband Ron, a Texas art dealer. The story of their unique friendship, Moore's inspiring escape from homelessness, and their shared faith in God's grace makes for an uplifting spiritual memoir--one made more poignant by the death of Debbie in 2000, the tragic event that led to the writing of this wonderful book.
