• Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion by Gregory Boyle

The book is about the different people who Boyle has met and interacted with over the years. Boyle goes into detail about each person’s background, his or her involvement in gangs, and what he learned from them. Boyle is surprised at how quickly people respond to kindness and decency. They’ve never had a proper family life, so they look for support in dark places. Boyle draws inspiration from Jesus Christ’s example of being kind to those who are shunned by society.
