Editorial Reviews:

A dangerous, homeless drifter who grew up picking cotton in virtual slavery.

An upscale art dealer accustomed to the world of Armani and Chanel.

A gutsy woman with a stubborn dream.

A story so incredible no novelist would dare dream it.

It begins outside a burning plantation hut in Louisiana . . . and an East Texas honky-tonk . . . and, without a doubt, in the heart of God. It unfolds in a Hollywood hacienda . . . an upscale New York gallery . . . a downtown dumpster . . . a Texas ranch.

Gritty with pain and betrayal and brutality, this true story also shines with an unexpected, life-changing love.

Summary: Same kind of different as me
Comment: This is an incredible story that most people should read, however, it is not for the faint of heart. There were many times that I had to stop reading because I couldn't focus my eyes through all the tears. Still, the bottom line is that God has a plan for our lives and He can do incredible things through us if we just submit ourselves.

Summary: Angel of God
Comment: The story begins in rural Red River Parish, Louisiana with a young man who seems to be bound to the land. He is at a loss when his family die in a fire and he begins to wander. At the saame time, a student begins to attend East Texas State College ( now Texas A&M -Commerce). This young man from West Texas is somewhat of a wanderer too. He changes college and life style when he attends TCU and life begins for him, Falling in love with a girl name Deborah changes his life. Debbie is a true believer and as her husband Ron climbs the ladder of success, she begins to do little acts of Kindness . These acts include the changing of the lives of all she meets, especially Denver Moore. She is not a do gooder but an honest person who lives her faith.

I could not stop reading the book for two days. It conveys ideas that are true to a praciticing Christyian and Debbie is truly an Angle of God who becomes as the prayer says a Guardian dear.

Comment: First of all, I truly loved the fact that it is a true story. The format was interesting and unusual as it flipped from the perspective of the art dealer and Dallas. A simple presentation viewed through two sets of eyes and hearts colored by their own experiences. Great insights!
