Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion | Greg Boyle

A good friend gave me this book, it‘s very much not what I usually read. But I‘m glad I did. There are no easy fixes or answers. Boyle asks only that we have compassion for our fellow humans.

“The strategy of Jesus is not centered in taking the right stand on issues, but rather in standing in the right place-with the outcast and those relegated to the margins.”

Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion | Gregory Boyle

#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. 2mo

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) 2mo

Ruthiella @Deblovestoread Glad to hear it! 😃 2mo

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. 2mo

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. 2mo

There Is No Good Card for This: What To Say and Do When Life Is Scary, Awful, and Unfair to People You Love | Dr. Kelsey Crowe, Emily McDowell

pick

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 ⬇️

JenniferEgnor showing us how. 2mo
