Joy was good enough to send me this book with one of her thoughtful donation. A bit embarrassed to say, I put it on my shelf and sorta forgot about it. Found it when cleaning off my shelf a short while ago. WOW, what a book. I highly suggest it to you all who give of yourself to help the cause here on Bridge and Beyond. Buy it in either paper book format or e-format for your Kindles etc. And when you're done, pass it along to someone else. The book is very moving and so very appropriate for all of us.
It's a true story about a man who was homeless, Denver and his friend Ron, a man who sells million dollar art. It's both a sad and uplifting story all rolled into one. Does it solve homelessness......NO! But, I think you'll find it well worth the time to read it. It's a New York Times Bestseller.
A question keeps popping into my head, as I think about this book, "Do you smile, or speak when you encounter a homeless person, or do you avert your eyes......afraid they'll ask for money? The answer for me is yes...yes to all those answers; but this book challenges us to think differently. I care, and so you do; thus we knit and crochet and pray and donate........
Would love to know who's familiar with or read the book and what your thoughts were.
All donations regardless of size and number are valued. All donations are appreciated. The Power of One is awesome, and when we work together The Power of One becomes The Power of Many.
