Gregory Boyle shares parables he has collected during his twenty years as a pastor working in a violent Los Angeles neighborhood, demonstrating the impact of boundless, restorative love and compassion.
Father Boyle started Homeboy Industries nearly 20 years ago, which has served members of more than half of the gangs in Los Angeles. This collection presents parables about kinship and the sacredness of life drawn from Boyle's years of working with gangs.
