Ron Hall & Denver Moore

Same Kind of Different as Me

Same Kind of Different As Me is the remarkable true story of two men who should never have met — Ron Hall, a wealthy international art dealer living in a world of million-dollar transactions and celebrity friendships, and Denver Moore, a man who grew up in conditions resembling slavery on a Louisiana plantation before spending nearly two decades as a homeless drifter on the streets of Fort Worth and Dallas. What brings them together is a woman named Deborah Hall, Ron's wife, whose vision for serving the poor at the Fort Worth Union Gospel Mission plants a seed that grows into one of the most unlikely and transformative friendships ever told. At its heart, the book asks a deceptively simple question: what does it actually cost to love someone you would never otherwise choose — and what do you receive when you do?
