Book Description
Today's teens are bombarded with messages--messages that suggest that their success in life depends on how closely they take to heart the Four B's: beauty, brawn, bank accounts, and brains. As a result, teens sometimes wage war within themselves--and often with others--in a 'survival of the fittest' contest. "Winners" get the worldly goods of popularity, position, pleasure, and pride. "Losers" find ways to level the playing fields, sometimes with deadly force. Disarming the Teenage Heart will teach you how to help teens replace lies, anger, fear and pain with God's Four C's of Inner Power: conscience, character, courage, and compassion. Armed with these virtues, teens can overcome the destructive forces around them and take their rightful place among today's heroes. every parent, teacher, youth worker, pastor, and friend of a teen will value the inspirational stories and practical, biblical instruction in Disarming the Teenage Heart.

Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
How do you fight despair and learn to meet the world with a loving heart? How do you overcome shame? Stay faithful in spite of failure? No matter where people live or what their circumstances may be, everyone needs boundless, restorative love. Gorgeous and uplifting, Tattoos on the Heart amply demonstrates the impact unconditional love can have on your life. As a pastor working in a neighborhood with the highest concentration of murderous gang activity in Los Angeles, Gregory Boyle created an organization to provide jobs, job training, and encouragement so that young people could work together and learn the mutual respect that comes from collaboration. Tattoos on the Heart is a breathtaking series of parables distilled from his twenty years in the barrio. 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 wonderful, hard-earned wisdom. Inspired by faith but applicable to anyone trying to be good, these personal, unflinching stories are full of surprising revelations and observations of the community in which Boyle works and of the many lives he has helped save. Erudite, down-to-earth, and utterly heartening, these essays about universal kinship and redemption are moving examples of the power of unconditional love in difficult times and the importance of fighting despair. With Gregory Boyle’s guidance, we can recognize our own wounds in the broken lives and daunting struggles of the men and women in these parables and learn to find joy in all of the people around us. Tattoos on the Heart reminds us that no life is less valuable than another.
