### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    All clergy and streetworkers should read this
  

*by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 17, 2022*

I read it twice! I have worked with homeless adults for many years and I live the transparency in this book. Its non-judgmental and to the point. A definite choice for any Church and for teens

    a window of empathy into homelessness
  

*by A***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 28, 2019*

IT'S ABOUT:Two Christian college students who voluntarily experience homelessness for 5 months in Denver, DC, Phoenix, San Francisco, Portland, and San Diego and relate how it changed their perceptions, assumptions, and faith.FAVORITE QUOTES:"What's worse? To not do dope or to not love your brother? Why do we kick drug users out of the church while quietly ignoring those who aren't dealing with other, equally destructive sins?""The contrast between the two homeless men that evening highlighted for me one of the fundamental lessons I'd learned on the streets: We're responsible to help others toward hope in Jesus' name. But we're not responsible for their choices."5 STARS BECAUSE:Having lived in or near most of the cities Mike experienced homelessness in, seeing homeless men and women was (and still is) a part of my everyday life. I often wondered how they got there and how to respond. When I started my empathy reading project for this year, the subject of homelessness was at the top of my list. This book was a fantastic intro into understanding and cultivating an "in their shoes" perspective. While many reviewers have taken issue with the debatable deception that Mike and Sam practice while appearing to be homeless (but always having an escape route available), I just took it at face value as a well-intentioned social experiment. They lived the homeless lifestyle as authentically as possible and they deserve the credit for their observations and lessons learned. It was hard to read about the cold shoulder they received from so many Christians - hard, but not that surprising. Just like not every crazed man was a struggling believer or every panhandler was legit homeless, probably not every Christian who passed them by was a hard hearted Pharisee. But the percentage wasn't good and that alone is worth taking note. The writing style is engaging and fast-paced. As a read for empathy, this book is right on.READ IF YOU: - Ever drive or walk past homeless people and wonder how they got there and how you should respond - Enjoy stories of spiritual journeys in unusual circumstances - Liked "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac or "The Ragamuffin Gospel" by Brennan Manning

    Living the other side
  

*by R***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 3, 2013*

When I see a man or woman living on the streets, I feel this immediate, intense battle happening inside of me. My first reaction - like most people - is to ignore them, but there is this intensity inside of me to answer the problem. Clearly, there is csome discomfort when a stranger is panhandling but a sense of superiority instinctually flows through me."He must be a drunk. She is obviously high or trying to get high. Why don't they go over to the shelter or church? A shelter will do a lot better than the change in my pocket."But over the years, I have learned a lot about the realities of homelessness in America. The problem cannot be defined neatly in a short sentence. It is a complicated issue with numerous causes and zero quick fixes.Though we all may have different experiences with homelessness, in the end a homeless person is a person. He or she is a loved child of our Creator. And that's the other side of the battle inside of me."How do I help this man? Will giving him a couple of dollars help? Am I really doing the right thing? Where can I do more?"A couple of college students had this same question. Instead of sitting in class trying to understand the economics of homelessness in America or sitting through another sermon about feeding the poor, these two men set out to experience the other side. Under the Overpass chronicles Mike Yankoski and his friend's experience living on the streets of America. They spent six months in six different cities, spending a month in each major city. Normal activities that society rarely ever thinks about like eating, sleeping, or defecating became major challenges.This journey really shows you the personal side of homelessness. When I think of the homelessness, I usually think of no shelter and money, but seldom do I think a lack of relationships or love. What shocked me the most about this book was Yankoski's apparent lightheartedness. Though he took the matter very seriously and it was definitely not an easy experience, he did appear to portray this aura of freedom. He didn't have to rush to class or a meeting; life had an unusually different pace. I don't think he was trying to communicate that in the book, but it was something I noticed.I definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in how we can help the poor and needy within our own borders.
