A critically acclaimed #1 New York Times bestseller with more than one million copies in print and a major motion picture! Gritty with pain, betrayal, and brutality, this incredible true story also shines with an unexpected, life-changing love.

Meet Denver, raised under plantation-style slavery in Louisiana until he escaped the “Man” in the 1960’s by hopping a train. Untrusting, uneducated, and violent, he spends 18 years on the streets of Dallas and Fort Worth.

Meet Ron Hall, a self-made millionaire in the world of high-priced deals—an international arts dealer who moves between upscale New York galleries and celebrities.

It seems unlikely that these two men would meet under normal circumstances, but when Deborah Hall, Ron’s wife, meets Denver, she sees him through God’s eyes of compassion. When Deborah is diagnosed with cancer, she charges Ron with the mission of helping Denver.

From this request, an extraordinary friendship forms between Denver and Ron, changing them both forever. A tale told in two unique voices, Same Kind of Different as Me weaves two completely different life experiences into one common journey. There is pain and laughter, doubt and tears, and in the end a triumphal story that readers will never forget.

Bonus material in this special movie edition includes:

• A new epilogue with updates on the authors since the release of the original book
• The amazing story behind the movie, how it got made, and the incredible experiences while filming in Jackson, MS

Some stories just can’t be stopped. What Difference Do It Make? continues the hard-to-believe story of hope and reconciliation that began with the New York Times best seller Same Kind of Different as Me.

Ron Hall and Denver Moore, unlikely friends and even unlikelier coauthors, share the hard-to-stop story of how a remarkable woman’s love brought them together. Now, the pair details new reflections and stories of hope and healing, covering topics such as faith, friendship, community outreach, and more.

In What Difference Do It Make?, Ron and Denver along with Lynn Vincent offer:

• more of the story – with untold anecdotes, especially Ron’s struggle with his difficult father and Denver’s dramatic stint in Angola prison
• the rest of the story – how Same Kind of Different as Me came to be written and changed the lives of its authors
• the ongoing story – true tales of hope from people whose lives have been changed by Ron and Denver’s story and how they make a difference in their worlds
• your part in the story – wise, practical, and hard-lived guidance for how you can make a difference to those in need

This book weaves three lives that learned how to trust and love God, into the tapestry of a society of skeptics that have learned to turn our hearts to help and bless those less fortunate, but we are all still working our way together toward the same destination of eternal life.

Deeply moving but never sappy or sentimental, What Difference Do It Make? answers its own question with a simple and emphatic answer. What difference can one person (or two) make in the world? A lot!

The heartwarming sequel to Same Kind of Different As Me! After Miss Debbie’s death in 2000, her husband, Ron formed an even stronger bond with Denver, a homeless ex-con. Ron’s touching memoir chronicles how their shared devotion to Debbie led them to work toward fulfilling her vision: to ease the pain associated with poverty, homelessness, and inequality.

Workin’ Our Way Home describes the ten years Ron and Denver lived together after Miss Debbie’s death. Written in both Ron’s and Denver’s unique voices, their inspiring (and often hilarious) adventures include:

• Their sometimes-bizarre life together in the Murchison Mansion
• Denver accidentally almost burning the house down‚Äîtwice
• The challenges involved with making a movie
• Two visits to the White House
• Traveling the country to raise awareness about homelessness
• And much more!

With both wit and wisdom, these pages reveal God’s plan lived out through these men and those closest to them, including their passion to fulfill Debbie’s dream of mitigating the suffering and humiliation associated with homelessness and inequality.

Denver said it best: “Whether we is rich or whether we is poor, or somethin’ in between, this earth ain’t no final restin’ place. So in a way, we is all homeless—ever last one of us—just workin our way home.”
