Title: Same Kind of Different As Me

Author: Ron Hall & Denver Moore

KDL Description:

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

Amazon Description:

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.
