Book Review - What Difference Do It Make?

This book, by Ron Hall and Denver Moore, is a meaningful sequel to Same Kind of Different As Me. Once again, it is interestingly written with both authors writing alternate chapters and telling their story from two different perspectives. This keeps the writing very interesting. In this book, you will enjoy learning more about the background and upbringing of both men. Ron tells a great deal about his broken relationship to his father and how those issues are resolved before his father's death.

Also, this book is full of vignettes of people who were moved to action to become involved personally with giving themselves to the needy and homeless. To me, this "proves" that the original book was a success! After all, was that not the "goal" of the original book? It's one thing to be moved by a good story; it's another completely different thing to be "moved to action". Debbie Hall, Ron Hall's wife, would be so pleased to see and to know the end result of her stepping outside the comforts of wealth and prestige to get her hands dirty feeding the homeless of Fort Worth. I dare you to read this story!! You will be different at the end.
