Because of the overwhelming response yesterday’s post received about Homeboy Industries, we at The Donkey Edge came up with an idea. To support Homeboy Industries, the first 40 subscribers to our new The Donkey Edge e-mail list will receive a free copy of Father Greg Boyle’s “Tattoos on the Heart”. Not only is Father Boyle donating all of his proceeds from the sale of the book to his organization, but we are also going to purchase these books directly from Homeboy Industries at their gift shop in downtown LA and mail it to you.

All you have to do is sign up for our e-mail list which you can do by scrolling to the bottom of this page. Input your e-mail address and then you’ll receive an e-mail from WordPress asking for your preferences (instantaneous, daily, or weekly updates.) We’ll contact you in a separate e-mail for your mailing address.

You get a book. We all support a great organization. And you get updates from one of your favorite snarky progressive websites.

I also dug up a video today that my talented friend, Matt Sazama, and I created for the Jesuits a decade ago. It features a number of prominent Jesuits from around America and the work they do. I’ve posted the segment we created with Father Greg Boyle below. The story about “Trigger” that you will see in the video is on page 13 of the book.
