"Father Michael Pfleger is one of the great prophetic Christian figures in American life and history.  His political activism and social ministry is rooted in a profound love of God and genuine compassion for ‘the least of these’ poor and working people. This book captures his vocation and mission in a convincing and timely manner."  —Cornel West, Princeton University

"In the spirit and tradition of my father, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Father Michael Pfleger has poured his heart and his remarkable energy into fighting for justice and decency and speaking truth to power on behalf of the 'least of these.' Radical Disciple provides a glimpse into the life of one America’s most courageous clergymen and the ways that he has used his God given gifts and talents to advance racial justice, human liberation, and a more nonviolent society." —Bernice A. King, president-elect, Southern Christian Leadership Conference
