Description
Book SynopsisIn a moving example of unconditional love in difficult times, Gregory Boyle, the Jesuit priest and New York Times bestselling author of Tattoos on the Heart, shares what working with gang members in Los Angeles has taught him about faith, compassion, and the enduring power of kinship.In his first book,
Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion, Gregory Boyle introduced us to Homeboy Industries, the largest gang-intervention program in the world
. Critics hailed that book as an “astounding literary and spiritual feat” (
Publishers Weekly) that is “destined to become a classic of both urban reportage and contemporary spirituality” (
Los Angeles Times). Now, after the successful expansion of Homeboy Industries, Boyle returns with
Barking to the Choir to reveal how compassion is transforming the lives of gang members.
