Why read it?

1 author picked Subversive Witness as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I loved this book because it was a clear and firm call for Christians to love their neighbors.

What sets this book apart, though, is it shows Christians how to understand the systems and society around us that create and perpetuate privilege for particular groups. Only then can we faithfully begin to accept the responsibility to leverage our privilege to benefit those who have historically been marginalized and oppressed by the way our world works.

This book shows us how we can play a role in allowing God’s kingdom to come in the here and now.
