What Difference Do it Make?--a book review

An unlikely friendship and the stories about people that have been influenced by this friendship make an inspiring read in What Difference Do it Make by Ron Hall and Denver Moore. This is a follow up book written as a result of their first best selling title Same Kind of Different as Me. The chapters of the book give background about both authors and relate stories of people who have been influenced by their first book. It is an easy short read with only two hundred pages, but it will inspire you to try and become less judgmental of a person’s appearance.

I didn’t read the first book, but it would have been helpful to know a little more of the story. I found Denver’s straight forward to the point approach refreshing and consider him a person I would like to meet. Even though this whole story is based on a friendship formed by author Ron Hall and his wife Deborah while helping the homeless, there are many lessons to be taken away from this book. It reminds us that one person can make a difference and that we are all responsible for each other no matter what our life circumstances are. The first section of the book is the most powerful and it slows just a bit in the middle, but it is worth reading just to remind us in Denver’s words, “Jesus don’t need no help from no perfect saints. If He did, He wouldn’t a’ gone up yonder and left us down here in charge.”

I reviewed this book as a part of Thomas Nelson Publishers Book Review bloggers program.
