The Wisdom of Homelessness 10/9/2008 3:49:54 AM
This story is profound and impacting to us all... Wow!!! I've told everyone I've run into that the following book I just did a casual review on is one of the most profound books I have ever read, so I'm posting the review here. I intend to go back over it again now since my husband just got finished with it in two days flat. I'm creating a list of the deep words of wisdom, Denver's wisdom, for meditation. For those who want to improve their lives and have an impact on others, THIS is the book for you.
"The stunning power of this true story to reveal truth and wisdom in the midst of humble means is profound. It is the power of God at work as seen in this testimony. The power of love and compassion that prevails over preset social structures is far reaching and intense as the story of
wealth and homelessness become intermingled.
I did not expect to find the might and pull in this book as I picked it up, but was swiftly drawn into it from the first chapters. I can now state that it is one of the most profound books I have ever read. I will reread it for the sake of making a list of Denver's words of wisdom as listed throughout his tale. Denver, to be clear, is the homeless man, the wisest of the bunch. His words are worthy of deep meditation for their immense insight.
I would deeply recommend this book to anybody and everybody for its impact on understanding in our social structure and God's grace in the midst of it. "
