Publisher's summary

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.

Game Changer

The content of this book is well worth your time. We get an inside view of the homeless community. If you serve the homeless this is a must read. The authors read it, which I liked. It isn't heavy while still very relevant. It's like taking a trip with these guys, and you won't come back the same.

Raw Faith

Absolutely amazing! I truelly felt what these guys experienced. They took what God gave them and gently evangelized people whom most of us ignore. All the while they lived a peasants existence for the cause. This book is well written and really fun to read. I just couldn't wait to hear what happened next. What struck me was that even though they sat out on a journey to find something for themselves, the real prize was the fact that they touched so many others in the process. Makes me want to find my own mission for the cause of Christ. I'll pray about it.

GREAT

Wonderful, thought provoking, and eye opening.
Definitely recommend reading this whilst walking around your town and examining the darkness around you that you never notice while driving by during your busy life

Thought provoking & admirable

I was not excited to listen to this book b/c homelessness is such an intense and overwhelming problem in so many areas in the world. After listening to Under The Overpass, I realize that if we each do something small and kind, instead of complaining about it to all our family & friends, we can each affect a level of change and impact the problem. I am challenged and I am very glad I listened to this book. If you are looking for something like this, read / listen. It’s a great book!
