Review of the book Same Kind Of Different As Me

This book caught my attention because I wanted to see the movie first. But I decided to read the book first. This was about a rich man and woman who start helping at a soup kitchen. They met this homeless man and become friends with him and learn about GOD about the way. It was a very scriptural/Christian book. One thing I did not like about this book was the use of the "n"word because that put me off.

I liked the quote on page 61 which reads " I cannot see into a person's heart to know his spiritual condition. All I can do is tell the jagged tale of my own spiritual journey and declare that my life has been the better for having followed Christ."

I also liked the quote on page 126 which reads " You got to get the devil out of the house 'fore you clean it up! And that's what happened to me in them woods. I had time to clear my head and shake loose some of my old demons and think about what God might have in mind for the last part of my life. When you is precious to God, you become important to Satan. Watch your back. The thief comes in the night."

I liked the quote on page 129  which reads " the story of Joshua and Caleb, two of the twelve men Moses sent to spy out the promised land and bring back a report for the children of Israel. When the spies came back, they brought good news and bad news. The good news was that the land did flow with milk and honey, just as God has promised. The bad news was that the land was inhabited by giants. The Israelites wept with fear, all except for Joshua and Caleb, who said, If the Lord is pleased with us, He will give us the land. Do not be afraid"
