BOOK DESCRIPTIONS
TATTOOS ON THE HEART: THE POWER OF BOUNDLESS COMPASSION
A memoir recommended for those interested in putting a human face on those experiencing homelessness, participating in gangs, and the disenfranchised - by trusting in the slow work of God and seeking the spirit of kinship with others in community.
Tattoos on the Heart is a breathtaking series of parables distilled from Father Greg’s twenty years in the barrio. Down-to-earth and utterly heartening, these essays about universal kinship and redemption are moving examples of the power of unconditional love in difficult times and the importance of fighting despair.

BARKING TO THE CHOIR: THE POWER OF RADICAL KINSHIP
In a nation deeply divided and plagued by poverty and violence, BARKING TO THE CHOIR offers a snapshot into the challenges and joys of life on the margins. The stories of former gang members uplift the soul and reveal how bright life can be when filled with unconditional love and kindness.
This book is guaranteed to shake up our ideas about God and about humanity with a glimpse at a world defined by more compassion and fewer barriers. Gently and humorously, Barking to the Choir invites us to find kinship with one another and reconvinces us all of our own goodness.
