A New York Times bestseller. Astonishing. Heart-wrenching. A true story. A book you will be unable to put down until you have entirely read it. You might even want to read it twice.
same kind of different As Me is a story about three people coming together as a family: Denver, a homeless man; Ron, an art dealer; and Deborah, the wife of the art dealer. Denver is a black man, while Ron and Deborah are white and very rich. Journey with them as each one of them finds God and lives accordingly.
The story is written in the narrative between Denver and Ron, taking you through their experiences of childhood through adulthood. The theme centers on homelessness: becoming homeless, living homeless, helping the homeless, etc. This book should make you change your views about homelessness and should make you want to do more for the homeless. I wish everyone, rich and poor, would read this book so that they could become like Denver, Ron, and Deborah, and the other people mentioned in the book who got involved with the homeless.
I immensely enjoyed this book and finished 7/8ths of it before I put it down. I would have finished it, but it was very, very late so I had to put it down. However, the very next day I got right up and it was the first thing I read and finished it. It is not very often that I get a book that I cannot put down until I have finished it and I plan to read it again. Denver, Ron, and Lynn Vincent did an outstanding job in putting this book together. I now want to read Denver and Ron’s (along with Lynn Vincent) second book, What difference do it make? (stories of hope and healing), for I truly enjoyed their first, same kind of different As Me.
