When thousands of Somali refugees resettled in Lewiston, Maine, a struggling, overwhelmingly white town, longtime residents grew uneasy. Then the mayor wrote a letter asking Somalis to stop coming, which became a national story. While scandal threatened to subsume the town, its high school's soccer coach integrated Somali kids onto his team, and their passion began to heal old wounds.

Story4 out of 5 stars 18
You just can't plan for this kind of thing. Diane Tate certainly hasn't. She never expected to slowly lose her talented husband to the debilitating effects of early-onset Alzheimer's disease. As a respected family court judge, she's spent her life making tough calls, but when her 68-year-old husband's health worsens and Diane is forced to move him into an assisted living facility, it seems her world is spinning out of control. As Gregory's memory wavers and fades, Diane and her children must reexamine their connection to the man he once was - and learn to love the man he has become.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 51
Truman Wiley used to report news stories around the world, but now the troubling headlines are his own. He’s out of work and out of touch with his family, but nothing keeps him awake at night more than his son’s failing heart. With hospital bills mounting faster than Truman can gamble his life savings, it seems there’s no way out... until his estranged wife throws him a lifeline - the chance to write the story of a death row inmate willing to donate his heart to Truman’s son.

Tara Westover was 17 the first time she set foot in a classroom. Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, she prepared for the end of the world by stockpiling home-canned peaches. In the summer she stewed herbs for her mother, a midwife and healer, and in the winter she salvaged in her father's junkyard. Her father forbade hospitals, so Tara never saw a doctor or nurse. Gashes and concussions, even burns from explosions, were all treated at home with herbalism. Then, lacking any formal education, Tara began to educate herself. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge.

Lee Strobel became convinced that God was outmoded. Today science is supports the conclusion that the universe was intelligently designed. Darwinism has faltered in the face of facts and hard reason. Science definitely gives faith a boost as new findings emerge about the complexity of our universe. Strobel re-examines the theories that once led him away from God. You'll encounter discoveries from cosmology, DNA research, and human consciousness that present evidence in The Case for a Creator.

Blind read, and my outlook on life is changed

Publisher's Summary
Hear the critically acclaimed number-one New York Times best seller with more than one million copies in print. Same Kind of Different as Me was a major motion picture release by Paramount in fall 2017.
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, inside the heart of God. It unfolds at a Hollywood hacienda... an upscale New York gallery... a downtown dumpster... a Texas ranch.
Gritty with betrayal, pain, and brutality, it also shines with an unexpected, life-changing love.
Bonus material in this special movie edition includes a new epilogue with updates on the authors since the release of the original book; and the amazing story behind the movie, how it got made, and the incredible experiences while filming in Jackson, MS.

RADICAL KIND OF DIFFERENCE
A captivating alluring truth. Every night I could hardly wait to meet Denver and his awesome words of wisdom and life. Thank God for a woman like Debbie and a man like Ron making a difference in this world every day. The three of them having and being what the other one needed. Me being a street evangelist I find the same kind of different as me. I love this book it hooked me on every level and now I pass the torch to family and friends. Thank you for the Insight of God in this book and his love for every man, woman, boy and girl In spite of Ourselves goodness and mercy followed through by grace.

Amazing
This true story refreshed my soul. I sent free copies to as many people as I could. While I am going through changing seasons in my life and our church is also changing, it reinforced my discernment that God has a plan and like Dallas said "if the devil ain't messing with you, he's already got you". Mr. Ron, thank you for sharing Ms Debbie and Dallas' story.

I was reminded how I sometimes judge people and the power of knowing their story changes that perspective. We all need to take more time to know others and hold back thoughts of what they may or may not be until then. Defiantly a book I will be passing on

God's not dead...
If you would like to see God at work in people's lives then this is a great book. Our media, society, and government are systematically removing religion from our lives and look at the result, mass shootings, cheating, divorce, and so on.
God's alive and well and watching us to see if we'll do our mission here on Earth, death comes to every one of us, yes you too will die. Will you be proud of your life when in God's presence. This book reminds us of this, loved it. We need more books like this.

Laughter and Tears ... FANTABULOUS!!!!!
For many years now, I believed that different people are like different books on a bookshelf. The covers are all different colors. The writings are different but they all have the same stuff, in the middle.
By the same token, people are all different on the outside but made of the same stuff, on the inside. You NEVER know who will speak the greatest words of wisdom (child, middle aged, senior, brown, black, white). Keep your ears open!! Keep your HEARTS OPEN!!!!! Be A GOOD human.
This book, shows how ALL PEOPLE should live and love!!!
