I highly and enthusiastically encourage the committee to select Father Greg Boyle’s Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion. This book is a moving account of struggling youth in the Los Angeles area, a wonderful read that will encourage our students to be serious students and work on behalf of others in our society.
