I just finished ristening to Tattoos on the Heart. It is a great book. Indeed so good that upon finishing it I immediately restarted it. It was that good.
It sounds as much like BR (at least how I see BR) as anything since Greg Mortenson's Three Cups of Tea and Stones to Schools. Highly recommended regardless of your religious views.
My version:
1. Better not perfect.
2. Everyone has something to offer.
3. Life is in part skill and work but also luck.
4. Until you walk a mile in their shoes, you have no idea of the real story is.
5. We are working with friends and for friends (or at least potential friends), not just giving things away or doing things for strangers.
Many of the stories in this talk are also in the book. Now I have to figure out how BonaResponds can work with HomeBoy Industries.

Here are several NPR stories on HomeBoy Industries.
