Tattoos on the Heart
The Power of Boundless Compassion
by Gregory Boyle
For
twenty years, Gregory Boyle has run Homeboy Industries,
a gang-intervention program located in the Boyle Heights
neighborhood of Los Angeles, the gang capital of the
world. In Tattoos on the Heart, he distills his experience
working in the ghetto into a breathtaking series of
parables inspired by faith.
Arranged
by theme and filled with sparkling humor and glowing
generosity, these essays offer a stirring look at how
full our lives could be if we could find the joy in
loving others and in being loved unconditionally. From
giant, tattooed Cesar, shopping at JCPenney fresh out
of prison, we learn how to feel worthy of God's love.
From ten-year-old Lula we learn the importance of being
known and acknowledged. From Pedro we understand the
kind of patience necessary to rescue someone from the
darkness. In each chapter we benefit from Boyle’s
gentle, hard-earned wisdom.
These essays about universal kinship and redemption
are moving examples of the power of unconditional love
and the importance of fighting despair. Gorgeous and
uplifting, Tattoos on the Heart reminds us that no life
is less valuable than another. |

| Men
in Blazers Present Encyclopedia Blazertannica
A Suboptimal Guide to Soccer,
America's Sport of the Future Since 1972
Gregory Boyle
The
Men in Blazers are two English-born, soccer-obsessed
broadcasters who have savored the dizzying growth of
the game along with millions of Americans, as if it
was a rollicking, sporting telenovela playing out in
real life. Written in such a way that fully immerses
Americans in the history and culture of the world's
game, their Encyclopedia Blazertannica relives the careers
of such greats such as George Best, Maradona, Beckham...and
Alexi Lalas. It examines fan culture, from the tactical
variations of scarf tying, to the pathos of England's
classic, yet doomed, World Cup theme songs, and explores
the complex physics and ethics of both celebratory knee
slides and fights between players, along with such burning
questions as how professional footballers deal with
hair loss. Any reader will feel as if they've had a
front-row seat for the classic matches--seeing every
dive and missed penalty kick, and hearing every vulgar
chant--and will emerge with a deeper appreciation for
the dodgy haircuts and ill-judged neck tattoos that
populate world football.

Soul of America
The Battle for Our Better Angels
by Jon Meacham
Our
current climate of partisan fury is not new, and in
The Soul of America Meacham shows us how what Abraham
Lincoln called the “better angels of our nature”
have repeatedly won the day. Painting surprising portraits
of Lincoln and other presidents, including Ulysses S.
Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin
D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, and
Lyndon B. Johnson, and illuminating the courage of such
influential citizen activists as Martin Luther King,
Jr., early suffragettes Alice Paul and Carrie Chapman
Catt, civil rights pioneers Rosa Parks and John Lewis,
First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, and Army-McCarthy hearings
lawyer Joseph N. Welch, Meacham brings vividly to life
turning points in American history. He writes about
the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the birth of the
Lost Cause; the backlash against immigrants in the First
World War and the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan in
the 1920s; the fight for women’s rights; the demagoguery
of Huey Long and Father Coughlin and the isolationist
work of America First in the years before World War
II; the anti-Communist witch-hunts led by Senator Joseph
McCarthy; and Lyndon Johnson’s crusade against
Jim Crow. Each of these dramatic hours in our national
life have been shaped by the contest to lead the country
to look forward rather than back, to assert hope over
fear—a struggle that continues even now.
While
the American story has not always—or even often—been
heroic, we have been sustained by a belief in progress
even in the gloomiest of times. In this inspiring book,
Meacham reassures us, “The good news is that we
have come through such darkness before”—as,
time and again, Lincoln’s better angels have found
a way to prevail. |
