Compassion:

• ​Tattoos on the Heart by Gregory Boyle

Through Father Gregory Boyle's work with gang members and those living in at-risk neighborhoods to find belonging and significance in a positive way, comes so much insight into compassion that we can all learn from.

The author is the founder of Homeboy Industries, which provides hope, training, and support to formerly gang-involved and previously incarcerated men and women allowing them to redirect their lives and become contributing members of our community. 

Thanks go to my daughter for encouraging me to read this insightful book!
