À propos de cet audio

 In a moving example of unconditional love in dif­ficult times, Gregory Boyle, the Jesuit priest and New York Times bestselling author of Tattoos on the Heart, shares what working with gang members in Los Angeles has taught him about faith, compassion, and the enduring power of kinship.

In his first book, Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion, Gregory Boyle introduced us to Homeboy Industries, the largest gang-intervention program in the world. Critics hailed that book as an “astounding literary and spiritual feat” (Publishers Weekly) that is “destined to become a classic of both urban reportage and contemporary spirituality” (Los Angeles Times). Now, after the suc­cessful expansion of Homeboy Industries, Boyle returns with Barking to the Choir to reveal how com­passion is transforming the lives of gang members.

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. Sergio, arrested at age nine, in a gang by age twelve, and serving time shortly thereafter, now works with the substance-abuse team at Homeboy to help others find sobriety. Jamal, abandoned by his family when he tried to attend school at age seven, gradually finds forgive­ness for his schizophrenic mother. New father Cuco, who never knew his own dad, thinks of a daily adventure on which to take his four-year-old son. These 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 people 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 re-convinces us all of our own goodness.

I absolutely love this book, and I always love when the author narrates. His views are so powerful. Loving power of God in the non-needed prayers. That we are all perfect just how we are, and to just be in the moment, such a good book I wish everybody could read it

Powerful!

Wow - I had heard about Father Greg Boyle and Homeboy/girl Industries before as I was working on KLINK Coffee, a non profit social enterprise in Toronto and helping with a similar demographic - Greg's story is so beautiful and full of hope, humour, wisdom and radical compassion. Greg totally made me cry often during this listen of his book - crying out of wonder, out of amazement, out of pure joy, and out of sadness and the incredible challenges that his colleagues at Homeboy have had to overcome. It is a truly powerful place of kinship that he has helped develop and nurture, and the story of Homeboy makes me want to visit and witness first hand these modern miracles. Bravo Father Greg and all at Homeboy - truly amazing what you are doing and being.

While there isn’t much storyline or arch the impact of hearing Boyle’s stories and his experience on the ground with former LA gang members is unforgettable. His compassionate perspective of the violence young men in his program have faced due to their own childhood neglect and lack of safety and choice is a balm for the soul.

Soulful

I love father Greg Boyle‘s humor, I find his stories almost unbelievable, and I listen again and again to this book to remind myself of God’s love.We are indeed all deeply connected, all Kim.

Inspiring and re-inspiring!

I really enjoyed hearing the heart behind Homeboy Industries and how love is shown through relationship and relentless second chances. As someone who works in ministry outreach- I was really encouraged to hear the changes that is being made.

Just a heads up there is quite a bit of language and content that would make this book less appropriate for younger readers (youth group age).
