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

Okay, first of all, adding The Prison Angel to my list. Sounds like it was written for me.
Echoing what you said, the most important thing I learned about being a good teacher was forming a relationship with every student.
So interesting what you said about the 'rockstar' image of Boyle (whom I bet I called Doyle in a few spots, too.) Reading Boyle and not having seen or truly listened to the interviews, I read him as a truly humble guy. He is all about his people. He tells some funny stories about celebs in the Homegirl Cafe. He strikes me as a big teddy bear, quick to laugh and cry, a real mensch.
