The work of thirteen outstanding New Mexico folk artists and their families is highlighted in this handsome bilingual book. These santeros (literally, saint makers) work in an ancient tradition but develop distinctive individual styles. Some use hand tools that date back to the colonial period, others use power tools. Several of the artists use commercial paints and acrylics, while others collect and process natural pigments and make homemade gesso from pulverized gypsum and rabbit-skin glue. They create santos for museums, for sale, and, of course, for devotional purposes, both for their own homes and for churches. This lavishly illustrated book includes background information on the santero traditions of New Mexico, pictures of the artists and their work accompanied by their own comments, and essays by six scholars on various aspects of the history, iconography, and marketing of these increasingly popular woodcarvings and paintings.

In this book Dr. Alberto Mottesi demonstrates in a special way the generosity and mercy of God who sent his only Son as an immensely valuable instrument for touching lives and calling sinners to a person relationship with God. Pastor Mottesi lives a life that is filled with a passion for souls, and in this volume he teaches that the purpose of his life is to encourage the downtrodden. To inject passion into the youth. To provide a vision. To promote spiritual fire. To awaken consciences and to raise up a generation that will transform history. Only in this way, with this passion for the Word, can a child of God surrender himself entirely to preaching and proclaiming: 'Because the word of God is living and active. Sharper that any two-edged sword...'

Los profesores no producen predicadores. Los predicadores son tallados del duro granito de la experiencia y el tiempo. El autor tuvo el privilegio de sentarse con algunos de los predicadores más notables de nuestro tiempo, incluyendo a John Piper, John MacArthur, y R. C. Sproul. Como clavos bien clavados es una exposición de lo aprendido de estos verdaderos "maestros" del arte. No obstante, es algo más que un simple libro sobre la predicación. Se trata de un viaje que todo predicador debe recorrer si quiere proclamar valientemente a Cristo aunque esté en una sala llena de críticos. Se trata de encontrar su propia voz. En este sentido, también se aplica a todo el que lucha por superar el temor al hombre en su devoción a Cristo. Professors don't produce preachers. Preachers are hewn out of the rough granite of experience and time. The author had the privilege of sitting down with some of the most notable preachers of our day, including John Piper, John MacArthur, and R.C. Sproul. Well-Driven Nails is an accounting of what he learned from these true "professors" of the craft. But, it is also more than a book on preaching. It's about a journey every preacher must take if he is ...

This stunning new photographic tribute is a time capsule with a snapshot of the construction, architecture, and civil engineering of modern-day Mexico.
There is a historical memory that can't be found in books with sensibility and devotion, transmitted in everyday gestures rather than the written word. Peronism is one of these experiences, both political and emotional, that sealed the destiny of Argentina forever. Intimate Peronism is the focus of this book--a world composed of General and Evita Perón, the October 17th celebrations, streets crammed with people who could, for the first time, speak and laugh freely.

Las obras de Teresa de Cartagena (1425-?) merecen nuestra atención por su valor como discurso femenino en sufrimiento que concede una voz a la producción literaria femenina silenciada de la Edad Media. En Arboleda de los enfermos y Admiraçión operum Dey se presenta su sordera como el elemento terapéutico que metafóricamente le permite curar su alma y además transgredir esa sociedad que la margina por su estado de ser mujer, sorda y escritora.
