Read the book. Heartwarming and heart breaking. Two last chapters meant the most to me. We just forgotten “ that we belong to each other.”

I have the book. You are welcome to borrow it. So many great quotes. Well written. Reminds me of the book that I am reading now,Roots. Both sobering. Horrible things that our culture does to people. Helping me to become a less judgmental person, hopefully.

Amazing! 100% would recommend to anyone. The audiobook is particularly good because Father G recorded it himself. Deep, thought provoking, and inspiring. I liked T so much I bought a physical copy to annotate as well.

Wow! What a book. It made me laugh out loud & my heart hurt a bit. Great lessons to be learned about how we treat others.

Good messages, “…the slow work of God;” everyone has worth. But heavy on the heart. Lots of tragedy.

I love this book just as much the 2nd time around -- and maybe even more so! Enjoyed listening to Gregory Boyle on audio.

Incredible! Five star content, writing, and narration. Boyle presents a bold and expansive view of God’s love in this heartwarming and heartbreaking true account of his ministry.

Totally inspiring and challenged many things I believed about gangs. Loved using Jesus and compassion as a way to help those in need.
