Under the Overpass

Under the Overpass is about two christian, college men who give up everything to live homeless in 6 different cities around the U.S. Very few people know that Mike and Sam are coming from a fine living to scum of the earth as an experiment. They supply themselves with a sleeping bag, guitar and backpack. These men go through a lot during there months on the street. They go without food, showers, money and more. So much more we can not even imagine! They get dirty looks, kicked out of places and treated poorly and not once do they give up on there religion. They pray constantly and become friends with almost everyone they run into. I found this book to be one of the best I've read in a long time. The book really captures what was important during there journey..GOD! These men are very brave to do what they did and it's very inspirational. I kept thinking while reading this, that this should be a book churches should give to youth groups. This will change the way people think and open a lot of eyes. I highly recommend people to read this book.

OMG OMG...I can't believe you know about this book. I have it and read it. When I was interning at the Denver Rescue Mission my intern leader told me about it and gave it to me as he said it was a good read. I didn't doubt him so preceeded to read it. It hit me more so since I was interning with the homeless popularity. This was close to 5 years ago but I do remember it being a good read. Hope you liked it 'cause I thought it was a good read.
