Review of " Same Kind of Different as Me" by Chuck Seymour

Same Kind of Different As Me"Same Kind of Different as Me," is a one of those books that is hard to put down once it is started. Why? In the words of one reader, "Prepare to be inspired and changed as you read this tapestry of two men's lives stitched together by the power of God's love. Ron Hall and Denver Moore invite you to walk with them on their journey of growth, pain and joy. One man's story of worldly success, other of complete poverty, brought together through the vision and perseverance of a Godly woman. Their story is a message for us all to reach out beyond ourselves and make a positive difference in the lives of others."

This is not fiction, but real lives, which makes it even more compelling. I don't expect you will rush out and buy a copy on that recommendation, but perhaps put it on your reading list. It should be also be found in a public library, or second-hand books. (maybe Kindle).

It is in the GracePointe library --as soon as I return it

Authors: Ron Hall (a white man) and Denver Moore (a black man) with Lynn Vincent.
