Under the Overpass Summary
| After meals from garbage cans and dumpsters, night after night Mike and Sam found their beds under bridges and on the streets. They were forced to depend on the generosity and kindness of strangers as they panhandled to sustain their existence. For more than five months, the pair experienced firsthand the extreme pains of hunger, the constant uncertainty and danger of living on the streets, exhaustion, depression, and social rejection?and all of this by their own choice. This is their story. Through Mike?s firsthand account, Under the Overpass provides important insight into the truths of the street and calls the younger generation of believers to take great risks of faith to bring Christ?s love to the neediest corners of the world.?I Am Disgusting.? Mike Yankoski?s life went from upper-middle class plush to scum-of-the-earth repulsive overnight. By his own choice. From the United States capital to San Diego, Mike and his traveling companion, Sam, journeyed as homeless men for five months. Not for a project or even in response to a dare. He needed to know if his faith in God was real?if he could actually be the Christian he said he was apart from the comforts he?d always known. So with only a bag on his back, a guitar in his hand, and Sam by his side, he set out. And like any traveler in a foreign land, he returned a different man. Mike?s unusual, captivating, and challenging story will rock your own world?perhaps even change your life. Pull out quote/sidebar/starburst: ?Thoreau said, ?Simplify, simplify, simplify!,? but at that moment I couldn?t help wondering if I had gone too far.? Endorsements: Please leave room for one more. ?Mike Yankoski hangs out with alcoholics and drug addicts. He panhandles for bus fare and eats from dumpsters. Yes, he has guts. But he also has faith.? Dean R. Hirsch President, World Vision ?Everyone with a beating heart will benefit from reading this book.? Kim Meeder Bestselling author of Hope Rising Story Behind the Book?Faith is more... |
