Arlene Ball: I loved this book and the spirit of the author. I bought it, intrigued by the “forgive everyone everything” concept and was drawn in as he related the heartache and healing of inner city kids. I think he could have related it to others as well; people like me who did not grow up in the ghetto but also suffered. I got the message, though. Good book.

AnnsVision: Greg Boyle is a great storyteller! I have been moved to tears and filled with inspiration on the ability of humans to rise above horrendous trauma! This book is heartbreaking and inspirational! His books should be mandatory reading in high school or college!

Timothy Kearney: Many of us learned of the ministry of Fr. Greg Boyle through his best-selling book “Tattoos on the Heart” in which he shared the story of Homeboy Industries. I enjoyed “Tattoos” for a number of reasons. One, I always love to read accounts of people who make important and positive changes in our world (Fr. Boyle would downplay this aspect of his ministry and will be the first to tell you he believes the young people he has worked with have rescued him rather than the other way around). Second, at the time I read “Tattoos” I was beginning a new ministry and wanted everything to be done yesterday, and Fr. Boyle would often paraphrase Teilhard de Chardin who spoke of things happening in “God’s slow time.” For me, the book was an engaging read with many spiritual nuggets for reflection.
“Barking to the Choir” is somewhat different in its approach from “Tattoos on the Heart” and its purpose is not to pick up where “Tattoos” left off. Fr. Boyle uses the stories of many of the people he has encountered and situations that have happened to him at Homeboy Industries, as a priest at Dolores Mission, and in his prison ministry to respond to the challenges of...

Anne: I’ve never reviewed a book on Amazon before, but after reading Barking To The Choir in a Christmas holiday binge-read I feel deeply compelled to do so. This book is a recounting of gang members’ inspiring stories of heartbreak and resilience, injected with wisdoms for thoughtful living. I cried, I laughed out loud, and I learned. This second book from F. Greg Boyle, might actually be even better than his first book Tattoos on the Heart. I could not have imagined that possible. BTTC is also an excellent book for people interested in Ignatian spirituality. Bravo!
