Father Boyle started Homeboy Industries nearly 20 years ago, which has served members of more than half of the gangs in Los Angeles. This collection presents parables about kinship and the sacredness of life drawn from Boyle's years of working with gangs.
After reading [b:Barking to the Choir: The Power of Radical Kinship|34467028|Barking to the Choir The Power of Radical Kinship|Gregory Boyle|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1510482422s/34467028.jpg|55587073], I felt torn; I wanted more of Father Greg's stories and heart, but I also wanted to pause and postpone the delight. I began reading two or three other titles, but they didn't make the best morning companions. To the library for the first collection of essays by [a:Gregory Boyle|13846417|Gregory Boyle|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1449549288p2/13846417.jpg].
Honest, humorous, and human in the best sense of the word. If you need a transfusion of hope in the midst of cynicism and despair, here you go! ( )
Amazing. One of the best audiobooks I’ve listened to and one of my favorite nonfiction books of all time!This book will stick with me forever. ❤️❤️❤️
One minute I was laughing out loud and a few minutes later, I was tearing up at the beautiful, heart wrenching stories of Father Gregory Boyle “G” and his profound, impactful relationships with so many different members of LA gangs.
Thank you to Mary Beth and her yoga book club for introducing me to this incredible book!! ( )
If you were a Catholic priest, how would you live? What would you do? This book tells the story of what’s happening at Homeboy Industries and Father Gregory Boyle’s relationships with (ex-)gang members in LA. It’s moving, funny, and profound all rolled up into one. Few books resonated more, or made me laugh as much. Plus he constantly quotes poets and mystics throughout. Simply beautiful! ( )

With That Moon Language
Admit something: Everyone you see, you say to them, "Love me." Of course you do not do this out loud; Otherwise Someone would call the cops. Still though, think about this, This great pull in us to connect. Why not become the one Who lives with a full moon in each eye That is always saying With that sweet moon Language What every other in this world Is dying to Hear.
