Ron Hall is best known for Same Kind of Different as Me, a memoir written with Denver Moore and Lynn Vincent. The book brings together Hall, a wealthy art dealer, and Moore, a man who experienced extreme poverty, homelessness and exploitative labour conditions in the American South, through Hall's wife Deborah and her work at a homeless shelter. Their alternating life stories eventually become a narrative about friendship, faith, grief and the different assumptions each man brings to the relationship. What Difference Do It Make? continues the story and adds further reflections and reader responses connected with service and homelessness. Hall's books are explicitly Christian and testimonial in tone rather than detached social analysis, so the emphasis is on personal transformation and individual relationships. Same Kind of Different as Me is the essential entry point for readers of faith-based memoir, friendship narratives and books about encounters across class divisions. Read more Less
