Product Description
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.

Profound October 7, 2008
The stunning power of this true story to reveal truth and wisdom in the midst of humble means is profound. It is the power of God at work as seen in this testimony. The power of love and compassion that prevails over preset social structures is far reaching and intense as the story of
wealth and homelessness become intermingled.
I did not expect to find the might and pull in this book as I picked it up, but was swiftly drawn into it from the first chapters. I can now state that it is one of the most profound books I have ever read. I will reread it for the sake of making a list of Denver's words of wisdom as listed throughout his tale. Denver, to be clear, is the homeless man, the wisest of the bunch. His words are worthy of deep meditation for their immense insight.
I would deeply recommend this book to anybody and everybody for its impact on understanding in our social structure and God's grace in the midst of it.

This was an amazing, stirring story. It will touch your heart and stay with you forever.
Heartwarming, Riveting Story October 4, 2008
I picked up this book after watching the authors, Denver and Ron Hall doing a t.v. interview about the book. The book sounded intriguing. Words are inadequate to tell you how much I enjoyed this book. First of all, it is an easy read. The characters and details in the book are vivid and the reader is almost instantly engaged with them. Unlike some other books in which you have to "warm up" to the book in the first few chapters before you are able to engage in the story, this book had me at chapter one.
I have told many of my friends and family about what an excellent read it is. It is such a fun book and such a heart warming book but at the same time, the book teaches us some solid lessons about prayer, faith, unconditional love, self sacrifice,friendship, prejudice, and overcoming difficulty in marriage. I inadvertently awakened my husband late one night as I read the pages of this book when I began sniffing and weeping about Deborah a little too loudly. It was very late at night but I had been promising myself for many chapters that I would read one more chapter and turn in for the night. But I couldn't put the book down!
I don't want to give away too much of the book for those who haven't read it yet. So suffice it to say, it was so enjoyable that I was almost sorry that I read it in three days. I didn't want the story to end. I wanted more of this wonderful book! I want to say a big THANK YOU and BLESS YOU to Ron Hall and Denver Moore for sharing their story with us. This story should be made into a film so that more people will learn of this beautiful story.
Most Touching Book I Have EVER read! October 3, 2008
During the summer of 2007 I attended a Sunday morning service in Grapevine, Texas with my husband, his sister and her husband. During this service I had the wonderful pleasure to hear Dever talk about his experiences and about this book. After getting home I went right to the computer and ordered the book. I finished it very quickly because it had caught my attention. It made me think alot, We shouldn't take our lives for granted and to live each day like its our last. I LOVED the book so much that I passed it on to my mother who then passed to on to her mother!
Powerful, Full of Wisdom, Penetrating September 30, 2008
A friend lent me the book. I felt I had to read it and get the book back to him as soon as possible. When I began reading, it drew me in ever deeper. I wondered how the life a southern, rural, marginalized,uneducated black man living the life a modern day slave would intersect with a wealthy, Texan, art-dealing white man and his family. Well, the intersection astounded me and left me literally weeping at several points it the book. The power coursing through lives of Denver Moore and Ron Hall and his ever-present wife, Debbie Hall, is nothing short of God walking among us. Read this book and pass it on.
