Hall, Ron.  Moore, Denver.  With Lynn Vincent.   Same kind of different as me.  A modern-day slave, an international art dealer, and the unlikely woman who bound them together.  Thomas Nelson. 2006

Comment.  Henry

A fascinating true story written in novel form.  It is very unlikely that the lives of a modern-day slave, Denver Moore, and an international art dealer, Ron Hall, could have intertwined like they did given the barriers of discrimination and prejudice that were (and perhaps still are) common in that environment.  The story is a powerful example of positive change, of courage and spiritual strength.  There are heart-wrenching episodes of emotion that are not uncommon to life. 

Reaching out to the homeless is something that none of us should ignore.  All of us can be involved at some level.  In this story Deborah Hall had a very unique, influential ministry to the homeless (especially Denver Moore) of the Union Gospel Mission on East Lancaster Street in Fort Worth Texas.  It was in this setting where Ron and Denver began their unusual relationship.

“This book is more than a memoir- it captures the presence of the only presence of the spirit that can transform the problems of our society.” Rick Perry- Governor of Texas.
