About

If you know me, you know I love me a great book. Memoirs and non-fiction are my favorite. I am so giddy to have one of my favorite book authors on the show today. This book,  Same Kind of Different As Me,  changed my view on the homeless, taught me how to get out of my comfort zone and love others well. This is the book I always recommend to others when they want to open their heart and love others well.  I wanted to bring you a story of hope this week, and this is definitely that story. The book, and now a movie, is about a true story of how a Successful businessman, Ron Hall and his wife, Deborah, discover a renewed sense of purpose when they begin to volunteer at a local mission in Fort Worth, Texas. Their lives change forever when they develop an unlikely friendship with Denver Moore, a homeless man who inspires them to save their struggling marriage. This synopsis doesn’t even do it justice. You will be in awe of this story. I literally sat with my mouth wide open listening to him tell it over again.  Ron is a very sought after speaker, author, and producer.  I encourage you to get the book,  Same Kind of Different As Me, and his follow up book  Workin’ Our Way Home, that details the relationship between Denver and Ron after their encounter.  Or if you need a great movie to watch with your family, you can find the movie on Netflix, with an incredible cast like Renée Zellweger, Greg Kinnear,  Djimon Hounsou. I promise you will want your entire family to listen to Ron recount his incredible journey with someone he would have never thought would be his lifelong friend.  Check out our show notes to get in touch with Ron and links to his books:
