Happy Easter! How should you start your Easter right? Celebrate your life! How do you start celebrating your life? Read Tattoos on the Heart!Tattoos is written by a Jesuit priest named Fr. Greg Boyle who has dedicated his life to working with the gangs of Los Angeles. He spearheaded a company called Homeboy Industries to help ex-convicts and ex-gang members achieve a new way of life other than the street life they are used to.
This book, though, is not solely about Homeboy Industries. It is about the life Fr. Boyle shared with his homies. It is touching, inspiring, and so powerful. I had to only read this book at night because there wasn't a single page that didn't bring me to tears. This book had me weeping. out loud. so go read it. period.
I've already purchased eight copies of this book and gave it to friends and family. That's how much I believe in this book. My friends, I tell you, you will become a different and better person after reading this. Here's to our lives!
P.S. If you are in a situation where you can, please donate to Homeboy Industries. It's such a good cause!
