"A spiritual masterpiece touching the innermost sanctum of the
human soul. Boyle approaches each person as a child of God and
fully deserving of love and compassion. His capacity to reach the
heart of the most hardened, and to see the best in everyone,
inspires. I laughed, wept, and underlined on virtually every page."
--KERRY KENNEDY, FOUNDER OF THE RFK CENTER FOR JUSTICE AND HUMAN
RIGHTS
"Father Boyle reminds us all that every single child and youth is a
part of God's 'jurisdiction'--and when they know that we are seeing

CHILDREN'S DEFENSE FUND

your life be changed!" --FATHER RICHARD ROHR, O.F.M., CENTER FOR
ACTION AND CONTEMPLATION, ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO

testament. No one brings more triumph and tragedy to the street

beautifully." --MALCOLM KLEIN, PROFESSOR EMERITUS, UNIVERSITY OF
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
