A powerful book! It was very well written and gave me a whole new outlook about gang members. The book is infused with life lessons and the teachings of Jesus Christ. I can never look at a person again and make a judgement by how they look.... tattoos and all. There is a child of God in there and all too often they are who they are and where they are due to circumstances beyond their control. Gregory Boyle and Homeboy Industries have made a huge difference one gang member at a time.
I love this book. It made me feel sad at times but it also made me smile. Father Greg Boyle is an amazing person who does so much for young people who have been declared bad by society. He offers them a chance for redemption and gives them hope for a better future away from gang life. There are many anecdotes from his experiences in dealing with these young men and women. I recommend it for everyone who wants to look deeper into the roots of why people get caught up in the lifestyle. When I first heard about it I knew I had to buy it. I do not regret it- it was inspirational and amazing.
An enlightening window into a world very foreign to me...and then I draw connections to my own experience. One to listen to again and again.
