Craig Greenfield lives life a little crazier than most people. He
comes from New Zealand but he has lived in some of the most broken
(and beautiful) places in the world, including the drug ruled
Downtown Eastside inner city of Vancouver, Canada and the slums of
Cambodia. Convinced that Jesus places love for the poor and the
pursuit of justice as central, Craig Greenfield has sought to
follow in Christ's footsteps by living among people at the edges of
society for the last fifteen years. His quest to follow this
Subversive Jesus has taken Craig and his young family around the
world and back again. This is the story of how Jesus led them to
the margins: initiating the Pirates of Justice flash mobs, sharing
their home with detoxing crack-addicts, welcoming homeless
panhandlers and prostituted women to the dinner table, and
ultimately sparking a movement to reach the world's most vulnerable
children. Craig's story is a radical and potentially controversial
critique of the status quo too often found in our own lives and
even in our churches, but it also offers an inspirational and
hopeful vision of another way. While readers may not relocate to a
slum or start dining with drug addicts, they will certainly come to
view their lives and ministry through a fresh lens, reconsidering
how they are uniquely called by Jesus to subversively love the poor
and break down systems of injustice in their own sphere of
influence.
