I just finished a great book a few days ago that I highly recommend. It is entitled Same Kind of Different As Me and is a true story written by two unlikely friends--one, a former slave from the South and the other a white art dealer from the city. I started it and couldn't put it down. I think I finished it in 3 days (but one of those days was Labor Day so I cheated). Anyway, without giving away too much about the book, Denver Moore finally jumped onto a train out of the South and headed to the city where he would live on the streets as a homeless man for most of his life. Ron Hall was coerced by his wife to leave their upscale neighborhood and begin serving in a dowtown shelter. Ron and Denver meet in that shelter and the rest of the story is a record of their developing relationship with each other, their relationship with God, and how they overcome tragedy and discover how God can use two very unlikely men in a very similar way. If you pick it up, let me know what you think...
