First of all, the primary author is RON Hall, not Dawn. Had become tired of checking out the book from the library and wanted to loan it out to my friends! This is one of the best books I've EVER read...and everyone should read it! Being made into a movie, it's listed as inspirational, but that creeps up on you. The setting is Ft Worth, my home town, so I could follow every twist and turn...even recognized some names, but how it touched my heart was what was unique. I gave away 20 copies of Rick Warren's Purpose Drive Life. Wish I could afford to give away a copy of Same Kind of Different as Me to everyone I see!

Same Kind of Different as Me1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I ordered this book at the recommendation of a friend and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This book is about an ordinary woman who was involved in charity work and because of her sincere desire to help others, was able to see past skin color, economic status and education (or lack thereof), to recognize the worth of a particular man. She was able to change his own opinion of himself and see himself through God's eyes, even after believing himself to be worthless all his life. She is another example of how one person can impact the lives of so many others, and not just those she is ministering to; and that our good works continue impacting lives long after we've left this earth. It was a heart warming book and leaves you with an attitude of "I could do that".

Amazing Journey of Friendship, Faith, and FidelityReview created: 05/06/08

I bought this book because I belong to a Book Club that is reading it. We chose the book partly because the authors live in our community.
It is the most amazing story ~ or several stories intertwined ~ the chapters alternate from one author to the other ~ their points of view & style are different ~ and both so honest & wonderful. The stories are really three journeys, intertwined. This true story addresses faith, friendship, and fidelity. It gives an inside view into homelessness & also addresses cancer & death, which opened some old wounds for me - but was healing for me as well.
Easy to read, yet full of substance & depth. I highly recommend this book.

"Same kind" is WAY different!2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
I am a journalist and literary non-fiction writer, so I am fairly difficult to impress. This book flows incredibly well, and builds to an unexpected climax. I literally cried on the flight home while reading some passages - and I am a pretty tough character.
Linguistically, the (eubonics)voice of one of the characters can be a tad hard to digest, but it is well worth the challenge. I was so impressed with this book - and its unique view of the African-American plight in the south - that I started reading it aloud to one of my neighbors (an 80-year-old illiterate black woman.
She can't wait to see me walk across the street, book in hand. I think that's the best thing this book accomplishes - it helps to instill a sense of duty and community in those who consume it. This paperback version makes it easy to offer up as a gift!
Happy reading,
Timothy
