Product Description
A dangerous, homeless drifter who grew up picking cotton in virtual slavery. An upscale art dealer accustomed to the world of Armani and Chanel. A gutsy woman with a stubborn dream. A story so incredible no novelist would dare dream it. It begins outside a burning plantation hut in Louisiana . . . and an East Texas honky-tonk . . . and, without a doubt, in the heart of God. It unfolds in a Hollywood hacienda . . . an upscale New York gallery . . . a downtown dumpster . . . a Texas ranch. Gritty with pain and betrayal and brutality, this true story also shines with an unexpected, life-changing love.

Same Kind of Different as Me January 6, 2009
This was one of the most thought provoking and emotional books I have ever read. I truly believe everyone should read this.
This book may change your life January 2, 2009
This book could change your life. I don't know any other way to put it. I've never read such a heartfelt story about how love can change the world and a little bit of faith can move a mountain. I'm not a very sentimental person when I read books, but I suggest you keep a tissue handy. I had a lump in my throat for about 3 or 4 chapters.
I highly recommend this book.
Person or Problem? January 2, 2009
I loved this book. It features two men who on the surface are very different. One is a white, blue-collar born world-class art dealer who has made big money. The other is a black man who was raised as a sharecropper, ended up in the Louisiana State Prison and later, on the streets, homeless, in Ft. Worth. The two met when the dealer's wife decided they were going to volunteer at a mission that served the homeless. Then she said God told her that the two men were to be friends. The two men alternate chapters of the book, so you see how each perceived the same story. Bottom line: The art dealer's wife saw the homeless man as a person and related to him as a person, not as a problem to be fixed. Because of the way she related to him, he was able to fix his life. How often do we see those in need as people, rather than as problems to be fixed?
Modern Day Faith December 31, 2008
This is a wonderfully rendered account of the intersection of two lives, as facilitated by a third.
These three people come to experience God, life, love and faith--in magnificent ways!
Read it and pass it on...
