I received my copy of Under the Overpass by Mike Yankoski yesterday in the mail and had finished it before I went to bed last night. I could not put down this attention-catching book! Rarely does a book captivate me so deeply, but the conviction on this young man's heart, place there by the Holy Spirit, to walk 5 months in the life of the homeless was clear. Five months and 5 major US cities later and the understanding of what the homeless in our nation face was more real than he ever expected it to be. This book is not a challenge for believers to do the same as the author did, but to listen to the Holy Spirit and respond in complete willingness to conviction. The challenge is clear- how do you live out what you believe? Do you DO anything about the needs in those around you or just give lip service to their pain? I highly recommend this book to any believer, young or old. It crosses age and denominational lines and gets to the heart of the matter. Get it today!
