Same Kind of Different as Me


If you need reinforcement of why you need to believe in yourself read Same Kind of Different as Me by Ron Hall and Denver Moore. It is an inspiring read that tells the story of Ron and Deborah as it is intertwined with Denver. They are as unlikely a match as you will ever see but both have so much to learn from each other.

Deborah is the glue that shows Ron and Denver how much these two very independent men need each other. Ron and Denver could not be more different one a family man, the other a drifter. It takes Deborah’s insight for them to see how much they need one another. They learn about trust and how physical valuing physical resources can help or hinder a relationship. They learn about God through each other’s eyes often without realizing it. There are times in life when we step away from one another and God it seems. Sometimes it is difficult to ask for a way back into a friendship, into a heart. These three explore these difficulties and realize that it is God’s heart that they seek in one another.

The book is written in the two distinct voices of Ron and Denver. Together they show how they each view the situations at hand. It helps the reader to see, how seeing in parallel view, does not always mean that the perspectives are shared but the passion can be.

Same Kind of Different as Me will make you laugh, cry, think and most important reflect on your own life.

Plan B by Pete Wilson


Plan B by Pete Wilson has some great insights on how we view our lives. the premise of the book is that life does not always proceed as planned, so you need a Plan B. He references many familiar Old and New Testament stories to point out that the Bible is full of people who had to examine Plan B as a part of their faith in God.

Wilson must be wonderful from the pulpit as he knows how to take the stories of thousands of years and place them in today's context. He points out that people have been lying and cheating their fellow man since the beginning of time. This has made for adjustment of life or Plan B in order to survive. It appears that Plan B plays a huge roll regarding your faith in God. Some thing that is often difficult to remember when Plan A is upset is that you are not alone in what you are experiencing.

An extended look it taken with the story of Joseph in the Old Testament. We follow him through his life and see how he learns to roll with the punches as a sign of hos faith. It is faith that gets up to transition to Plan B.

I asked Mr Wilson by way of Twitter if Plan B ever becomes Plan A. His response was "I think so."

I enjoyed this book immensely. It is well worth your time so that you can identify with your own Plan B. The author is still a young man. I hope to see take to pen Plan B Part II 20 years from now. Plan B is a growing process.

The book Plan B by Pete Wilson was provided to me by the publisher through Book Sneeze. the opinion I have written is my own and has not been influenced any person of company.
