A Same Kind of Different as Me is a true story written by Ron Hall & Denver Moore with Lynn Vincent, which became one of New York Times Bestsellers in 2009. The story tells of a modern-day slave, an international art dealer, and the unlikely woman who bound them together.We study history in order to learn about past mistakes or successful decisions, to prevent the same failures from reoccurring, and to make decisions proven to lead down a successful path. Through critically reading Same Kind of Different As Me, I believe several important and applicable lessons are presented. In addition, the synopsis has hooked my attention, and I am genuinely eager to begin reading such an inspiring book.
A brief synopsis by Squidoo:
Same Kind of Different As Me is about two men -- Ron and Denver -- and their friendship that teaches them both more than they would have ever expected or bargained for.
A poor, black man who is bitter and penniless ends up graciously loving those who hate him and closing a few high-level art deals, while a self-absorbed aristocrat ends up serving at a local homeless shelter and inviting the poor into his home.
This simple story of friendship calls you to evaluate your life in light of the greatest love and compassion.
