#whereReyoumonday

Reading very much out of my comfort zone, I‘m in East Los Angeles in the current century with Pastor Gregory Boyle and the congregants and residents of the area in this nonfiction account of Boyle‘s outreach efforts.

BarbaraJean Ohhh, I want to read this! Greg Boyle has been referenced a LOT in my spiritual direction studies this year. 15h
Ruthiella @BarbaraJean I think you will get a lot out of it given your interests. I appreciate what Boyle is saying a lot about humanity. (edited) 15h

Christine I have to get to this one. I‘m just finishing a semester of teaching incarcerated folks, many of whom grew up in SoCal gang life. They are remarkably thoughtful and diligent students. I wish they‘d met Boyle and been offered a different path. 2h
Ruthiella @Christine That‘s wonderful that you are teaching people who are incarcerated. Education is such a game changer. One of the things Boyle underscores in this book is that it‘s never too late to change one‘s path. 1h

This is a wonderful little guide for what to say and what not to say (and what to do/not to do) when someone is going through a hard thing. I‘m a medium, hospice volunteer and an abortion doula—and there is always something new I learn. A favorite word: Kummerspeck: grief bacon. It means, eating your feelings. We all experience Trauerklob sometimes; we must acknowledge it when others do to, but gently approach it. This book is great for ⬇️

Jeremy reminds us all that it is often those who have little who are the most generous.

I love the drops of philosophy in this. The fact the MC was a philosophy major certainly sets the tone.

“Brian felt invisible. No one ever seemed to notice him. Until the day Justin came to class.“

The Invisible Boy is a beautiful and heartfelt story that addresses the emotional challenges of feeling left out.
