The truth about it is, whether we rich or poor or somethin in between, the earth ain't no final restin place. So in a way, we is all homeless-just workin our way toward home" ~Denver Moore
I have to admit something. This is not the type of book that I would normally read. But a couple of years ago, I read about this book on someone's blog. I can't remember whose, but that doesn't really matter. They were talking about how wonderful and inspiring this book was. It piked my interest, so when I was given the opportunity to read and review it, I was excited.
The book is written by Ron Hall and Denver Moore, two people from completely different backgrounds who become close friends. The book goes back and forth between Ron's point of view and Denver's point of view, and it was so interesting to read how one situation was viewed differently by each of them. Ron is an art dealer; rich and well educated. Denver is a modern day slave turned homeless man; poor and uneducated. You wouldn't think that these two men would ever cross paths, let alone become close friends. But they do, and the story of how this friendship developed is what this book is all about.
I strongly recommend this book for everyone to read. You will be inspired to see past the outside of a person, and look within. You may just look inside yourself, too, and find the path you are meant to be on while working your way towards "home".
***I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Crystal ~ I loved this book. It was such a heartwarming story. I don't usually read "true stories" unless they are crime stories, but this book grabbed my attention and never let it go.
