\"\"<\/a>Mike Yankoski did more than just wonder. By his own choice, Mike’s life went from upper-middle class plush to scum-of-the-earth repulsive overnight. With only a backpack, a sleeping bag and a guitar, Mike and his traveling companion, Sam, set out to experience life on the streets in six different cities\u2014from Washington D.C. to San Diego\u2014 and they put themselves to the test.<\/p>\n

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\u2014and all of this by their own choice. They wanted to find out if their faith was real, if they could actually be the Christians they said they were apart from the comforts they\u2019d always known\u2026to discover first hand what it means to be homeless in America.<\/p>\n

Mike and Sam’s story is gritty, challenging, and utterly captivating. What you encounter in Under the Overpass: A Journey of Faith on the Streets of America<\/a> will radically alter how you see your world\u2014and may even change your life.<\/p>\n
