I don’t want to spoil the book, so I’m not going to tell you
much about it. But I will tell you this:
This book is the true story of the meeting and friendship of a former
sharecropper who was homeless and an upscale art dealer. One of the best parts about this book is we
hear the story from both the homeless man and the art deal. These two men were brought together by the
art dealer’s wife, an incredible woman.
This is the story of the lives of the two men, how they became friends,
and how they became family.
Reading this book will:
- Change the way you look at and think about seemingly scary homeless people
- Teach you about compassion and show you what it means to love deeply
- Make you wonder how our society can continue to treat some people with such a lack of dignity
- Let you enjoy some incredible story telling
- Make you cry. There are some parts of this book that you should definitely not read in public because you might make a fool of yourself crying hysterically. You will need to have a box of tissues handy (and perhaps something to comfort you- like a bottle of wine or a carton of ice cream).
- Restore your hope in humanity
- Make you believe that even the greatest tragedy and grief can be overcome
- Challenge your faith
- Strengthen your faith
- Show you what it means to live as a Christian
- Help you to stop judging people who don’t express their faith in the same way you do
- Make you wonder how you could possibly ever be a part of a story as great as this one
- Inspire you to want to start living today in a way that you could be a part of a story as great as this one
