Tattoos on the Heart

Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion Hardcover – March 9, 2010
Author: Fr. Gregory Boyle ID: 1439153027

From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. In this artful, disquieting, yet surprisingly jubilant memoir, Jesuit priest Boyle recounts his two decades of working with homies in Los Angeles County, which contains 1,100 gangs with nearly 86,000 members. Boyle’s Homeboy Industries is the largest gang intervention program in the country, offering job training, tattoo removal, and employment to members of enemy gangs. Effectively straddling the debate regarding where the responsibility for urban violence lies, Boyle both recounts the despair of watching the kids you love cooperate in their own demise and levels the challenge to readers to stand in awe at what the poor have to carry rather than stand in judgment at how they carry it. From moving vignettes about gangsters breaking into tears or finding themselves worthy of love and affirmation, to moments of spiritual reflection and sidesplittingly funny banter between him and the homies, Boyle creates a convincing and even joyful treatise on the sacredness of every life. Considering that he has buried more than 150 young people from gang-related violence, the joyful tenor of the book remains an astounding literary and spiritual feat. (Mar.)

Review

“Destined to become a classic of both urban reportage and contemporary spirituality.”
—The Los Angeles Times

“An astonishing book . . . about suffering and dignity, death and resurrection, one of my favorite books in years. It is lovely and tough and tender beyond my ability to describe and left me in tears of both sorrow and laughter.”—ANNE LAMOTT, AUTHOR OF GRACE (EVENTUALLY)

“One of the bravest, most humane, heartbreaking, brilliant, and hopeful stories I’ve read in ages. Father Greg, the Gandhi of the Gangs, fills Tattoos with unquenchable soul force and down-to-earth love.” —JACK KORNFIELD, AUTHOR OF A PATH WITH HEART

“Father Boyle reminds us all that every single child and youth is a part of God’s ‘jurisdiction’—and when they know that we are seeing them as God does, they are capable of great things. Father Boyle is a national treasure.”
—MARIAN WRIGHT EDELMAN, PRESIDENT, CHILDREN’S DEFENSE FUND

“Sometimes we are allowed to see in our own lifetimes what we were supposed to see in the life and ministry of Jesus. Read, and let your life be changed!”
—FATHER RICHARD ROHR, O.F.M., CENTER FOR ACTION AND CONTEMPLATION, ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO

“Tattoos on the Heart is an astounding book and a remarkable testament. No one brings more triumph and tragedy to the street gang story than Greg Boyle. No one brings more conviction and compassion than Greg Boyle. And no one writes the gang story more beautifully.”
—MALCOLM KLEIN, PROFESSOR EMERITUS, UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

“A spiritual masterpiece touching the innermost sanctum of the human soul. Boyle approaches each person as a child of God and fully deserving of love and compassion. His capacity to reach the heart of the most hardened, and to see the best in everyone, inspires. I laughed, wept, and underlined on virtually every page.”
—KERRY KENNEDY, FOUNDER OF THE RFK CENTER FOR JUSTICE AND HUMAN RIGHTS

“An extraordinary reflection of a life totally committed to reshaping and redirecting the lives of countless young gang members (from L.A.’s gang culture), Greg Boyle’s Tattoos on the Heart proves one man with courage is a majority.” —MARTIN SHEEN

“Tattoos on the Heart is an honest, raw, and compelling collection from Father Greg Boyle’s life and work with gang-involved youth. His commitment should teach us all a lesson in compromise, sharing, learning, loving, and, most important, living life to the fullest.” —ANJELICA HUSTON

“Incandescent, always hope-filled and often hilarious. Boyle somehow maintains an exuberant voice that celebrates the strength, compassion and humanity of people often demonized. He simply highlights charity and goodness wherever they are found. Boyle intersperses his narratives about gang members and his work with them with theological and spiritual reflections from a variety of theologians, poets and other writers. By introducing book-buying, highly educated readers to people we may never otherwise encounter, Boyle aspires to “broaden the parameters of our kinship.'”–The Christian Century

—Publishers Weekly Starred Review

“A set of stories that will stir many emotions. They will leave you dumbfounded at the power of love and compassion to break down high walls built by anger and pain.”
—America magazine

“Jaw-dropping. Boyle take[s] us through the human lifecycle of fall/grace/redemption/repeat again and again. Reading this book is a spiritually cleansing experience that won’t leave you the same. The compassion Boyle writes of is so deep and wide and strong that nobody is ever beyond its reach. Tattoos on the Heart welcomes all of us to join in the “no matter whatness” of God’s unconditional love.” Sojourners

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I opened up the book, Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion by Gregory Boyle, a Jesuit Priest and Founder/Executive Director of Homeboy Industries, an organization that provides jobs, job training, and encouragement to those wanting to remove themselves from gang participation. Although there were certain areas I disagreed with Boyle regarding his view of scripture, the book as a whole was well worth the read.

Pastor Gregory Boyle has a very witty way of telling stories of his involvement with gang members and their families. His stories about suffering are both full of laughter and sorrow. The message of this book is bold: Everyone of us – whether gang member, flight attendant, or car shop owner; can break down walls and be a part of the same "jurisdiction". His stories grabbed at my heart and pulled me in as if I was there. The book challenged me to think outside of my box and reconsider the unlovely among me. How can I show them love?

The thing I loved the most about this book is the revealing nature of these gangsters, or as Boyle calls them, "Homies". When you stripped away the anger and pain, you got a view of the things they carry so close to them: shame, defeat, loss, fear, and a basic need to be loved. It would be easy to judge such people as "lost causes" or "hopeless", but Boyle allows us to see things in his world and the view is amazing.

Boyle has chosen to "live among them" and lets us into his sorrowful, violent, and sometimes comical world. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to see the world through compassionate eyes, at the same time being able to laugh at some of the hilarious stories that Boyle tells.

In 1993, I quit my job as an associate pastor before my senior pastor could fire me. I hadn’t begun teaching heterodox doctrine or engaged in a sexual affair or some other moral failure. No, I had vociferously challenged the “seeker-sensitive” direction he was taking the church. As a 24-year-old seminary student, I felt I knew a lot more about ministry than my pastor did, and I wasn’t hesitant to download my “knowledge” on him. Needless to say, this frustrated him personally and hampered the church’s evangelistic ministry. At a tense lunch meeting, my pastor told me I needed to shape up or ship out, so I tendered my resignation and left.

At the time, I thought my quitting was a matter of principle. I realized later, however, that it was really a manifestation of emotionally unhealthiness. I was young and immature but working in a missional environment that required a spiritual grownup. Several years of apprenticeship at a more traditional church, combined with two years’ work in corporate America, wised me up and mellowed me out. In 1999, I’m happy to say, I returned to work for the pastor who had wanted to fire me, and I count those years as some of the best of my career.

“The emotionally unhealthy leader,” Peter Scazzero writes in his new book, “is someone who operates in a continuous state of emotional and spiritual deficit, lacking emotional maturity and a ‘being with God’ sufficient to sustain their ‘doing for God.’” That described me to a tee back then. I was thinking too much and feeling too little, reading too much and praying too little, reflecting on “big ideas” too much and relating to others too little. My life was out of balance, which meant my ministry was out of balance too.

About the Author

Stormie Omartian is the bestselling author (more than 34 million books sold) of The Power of a Praying series, plus Lead Me, Holy Spirit; Prayer Warrior; and Choose Love. Stormie and her husband, Michael, have been married more than 40 years. They are the parents of two married children and have one granddaughter. http://ift.tt/X5OmGm

Shari Warren is an artist and illustrator whose lifelong passion is to make people smile. Her fresh, colorful illustrations can be found in books such as the On-My-Own Reader Bible and The Prayer That Makes God Smile and on posters, giftware tableware, wall décor, and home accessories. Shari lives in Northern California and has had the pleasure of working with clients all over the world.

I was hoping that this book would open up a good conversation with my 7, 5 and 4 year old about "what happens when I talk to God," because it was written by Stormie Omartian who wrote all those prayer books! I was severely disappointed because it simply reiterates lessons on HOW to pray, but it does NOT say what happens when a little person talks to God honestly and maybe not the "right way" or for the "right things."

It tells what we can pray for and how we can pray and when and where we can pray; it tells us at the end of most pages to be thankful for something that was described on that page. The only page that begins to address "What Happens When I Talk to God?" in my opinion, is page 30, the second to last one, which talks about God hearing and answering and dwells on "me" being patient for those answers.

I suppose I was hoping for a book that was more illustrative of how God has worked through people’s prayers, through the prayers of children, not just a book that goes over practical biblical application. I know I would have liked to have heard how Stormie would talk to a child about the transformative power of prayer in the soul of the pray-er, or how we even know that God is there listening to us and isn’t just some made up thing (which are the good questions my kids are asking), but that wasn’t touched on. It didn’t specifically talk about what the "power" of prayer was, though it did state that "praying with other people is very powerful" and "my prayers have power because I am valuable to God."

Prayer is an intangible kind of thing. I don’t have a problem telling my kids HOW or WHY we pray.

In my personal religious and intellectual experience, there has been no greater joy than to investigate and perceive the overlap of science and spirituality. I have never doubted the existence of an overarching creative presence in the universe, and at one time I began to define this as an “Omnipresent Intelligent Being” (OIB). I do not in any way accept the fundamentalist interpretations that consider the “Creation Myth” of the Judeo-Christian Scriptures to be a factual description of the origin of our universe or life upon this planet, but I likewise totally reject the notion pseudo-science sometimes proposes that everything is purely “accidental”. When during my young adulthood I discovered the writings of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (several of whose books I’ve previously reviewed for ), I knew I had encountered truth at a level much deeper than the superficial ideas involved in the current arguments between Creationists and Evolutionists.

Therefore, with all my subsequent scientific and theological reading since, I have been searching for those writers who do in fact integrate scientific and spiritual insights in the same way Teilhard did, actually carrying his ideas forward as ever-new insights evolve in both areas. Ilia Delio is one such writer that I am ecstatic to have encountered. As both a scientist and a Franciscan Sister, Delio has all the necessary qualifications to continue to expand this dialogue. Her writing is brilliant, thorough and completely readable. In the past, the dissemination and development of Teilhard’s thought was hindered by the fact that his ideas were so revolutionary, the authorities of the Catholic Church (he was a Jesuit priest as well as a scientist) prohibited publication during his lifetime.
