TATTOOS ON THE HEART: THE POWER OF BOUNDLESS COMPASSION

I went to hear Father Gregory Boyle, founder of Homeboy Industries, speak at a local bookstore and he was astoundingly awesome. I bought a copy of his book and got it signed for A’s mom’s birthday, but couldn’t resist giving it a quick read before sending it off. Less a memoir than a loose collection of homilies and anecdotes, it’s profoundly inspiring, but I gotta say, it pales in comparison to seeing Father Greg in person. If you ever have the chance, do so (and while you’re at it, visit Homegirl CafĂ©—they catered the reading, and the food was delicious).
