5th Anniversary - Updated Expanded EditionWith foreword by Francis ChanEver Wonder What it Would Be Like to Live Homeless?Mike Yankoski did more than just wonder. By his own choice, Mikes 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—from Washington D.C. to San Diego— and they put themselves to the test. 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. 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 theyd always knownto discover first hand what it means to be homeless in America.
