Mike is a christian, and like most went to school, church and his day to day activities thinking everything was good..or good enough.
One day, at a church sermon, The Holy Spirit works on Mike's heart.
What if: I really believed God for my day to day needs, next to those who don't have anything at all? Would God still be God in my life?
So begins a journey with Mike and a friend named Sam.
They take a backpack, a bed roll and set off to 5 pre determined locations.
They have a safety net of advisors and elders that they can call on if they need to, but they are living on blind faith.
Along the way their faith does get stirred, and both men gain a deep appreciation for the small things in life.
They meet some real characters and some that challenge what a christian is: is it the suit and tie guy that refused the homeless enter the church grounds, or the homeless drug addict that loves God and Jesus Christ but cannot break free of his addiction.
Rats, storms, cockroaches, police, distain, hunger and heat... they have it all and learn alot along the way.
This is a real thought provoking book and not for the "religous" set in their ways. This is the real Jesus walking among us with skin on..In the homeless and churched alike..PS It looks like love.
