Nice follow up, but did not hold my attention nearly as well as Same Kind of Different As Me.

It is helpful to read Same Kind of Different as Me by the same authors before you read this book, but it is not necessary. In What Difference Do It Make Ron Hall and Denver Moore write about how their first book inspired others to help the homeless, repair relationships and grow closer to God. Ron recounts life after his wife Deborah's death and how he repairs his relationship with his father. Truly an inspirational and amazing book!

This book is amazing. Their relationship with God and the life lessons they teach are utterly amazing. This book inspires me to become a better Christian and a better person. I recommend it to anyone who can read. And, if you can't, have someone read it to you. This book is wonderful.

Favorite Quotes:

"Most people want to be circled by safety, not by the unexpected. The unexpected can take you out. But the unexpected can also take you over and change your life. Put a heart in your body where a stone would be."

Inspiring. Follow up to "Same Kind of Different as Me". Follows both men after the first book and includes letters etc. from others that were affected by first book. Very good!

It was mainly a book that talked about the things people have since reading Same Kind of Different As Me.

Last week, I finished Same Kind of Different as Me, posted a review on my blog, and attended a book club meeting where we discussed the book. At the book club, we were told there was a sequel and there was some talk of trying to obtain the sequel and read it. We unanimously reveled in the book.

I was overjoyed then to see a publisher’s representative posted a comment on my blog about my review. She mentioned the new sequel and offered to send me a copy. I replied and, to my astonishment, I found a beautiful copy of the new book in my next day’s mail.

I will warn you that sequels often disappoint me. I’m not even one to read all the books in a series; I will often read the first book and then stop, not wanting to experience the disappointment of a follow-up book.

This book was not a disappointment. I picked it up at noon and leisurely read it and thought about it all afternoon. It answers some questions we pondered at our book group (included are some photos of Denver’s artwork and we learn more about Ron’s experiences with his father) but it also includes stories of people who were affected by the first book and felt called to take action.

I’m happy that I can recommend it to others. It’s the best kind of book about real Christianity, the kind that pops up in surprising places, that moves in waves of love.
