Subversive Jesus: An Adventure in Justice, Mercy, and Faithfulness in a Broken World

by Craig Greenfield, Unknown Author

Craig Greenfield, a New Zealander, has led an unconventional life, residing in places like Vancouver's drug-ridden Downtown Eastside and Cambodia's slums. Driven by his belief in Jesus' teachings of love and justice for the poor, he's spent 15 years living among society's marginalized. His journey, guided by 'Subversive Jesus,' includes founding 'Pirates of Justice' flash mobs, hosting detoxing addicts, and welcoming homeless individuals and exploited women into his home. His story challenges norms and offers hope, encouraging readers to reevaluate their roles in combating injustice within their own circles.
