Tattoos on the Heart by Founder of Homeboy Industries, Gregory Boyle
A beautiful fluidity. The Power of Boundless Compassion, the subtitle conveys the interactions of a humble and gentle soul G aka Father Greg living among the wild and loving world of gangs in Los Angeles, CA. His stories are engaging, as well as the quotes from influences G gleaned from bring this reading together in a beautiful fluidity of God’s love and boundless grace. His words at times STOPPED my heart and mind in its tracks to pause and listen. He reaches out in order to reach in. I highly recommend this book. I am grateful for the young ladies around me that offered this title for reading. Thank you!
