Born in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1950, sculptor Luis Tapia is a pioneering Chicano artist who for forty-five years has pushed the art of polychrome wood sculpture to new levels of craftsmanship and social and political commentary. Tapia's works speak to the complexity of Latino/Hispano/Chicano identity, history, and contemporary culture, offering compelling insights and challenging perspectives on life in the barrio, on the border, and beyond.

Rooted in a folk art tradition established in seventeenth-century New Mexico, Tapia's work at once honors its origins, reinterprets traditional subject matter, and revitalizes age-old techniques. As an artist and activist whose works have been internationally exhibited and collected, Tapia informs and educates non-Hispanic viewers about the Chicano and Nuevomexicano experience. At the same time, he transcends cultural and ethnic borders through the elegance of his craft and commentary.

In this first publication devoted to Tapia's artistic legacy, leading art historians, curators, and literary figures consider Tapia's art both inside and outside the local and regional contexts in which it is made. With more than 100 photographic reproductions, Borderless illuminates Tapia's relevance and vitality within the broader national and international artistic conversation.

The Passion Translation (TPT)
I really appreciate the translation of this Bible. After using only the KJV all my growing up years, I am learning so much from this Passion Translation as it has study references to refer to for more help in addition to the helpful verse Translation. It does NOT have the Old Testament included but Psalms, Proverbs, and Song of Solomon is included.

It's wonderful. Please buy it. You'll love it
I'm a regular bible reader. Through this Bible, God was able to blow my mind and bring me to tears multiple times. My husband and I open it to Ephesians 1:1 and read 3 chapters. (Received it yesterday). By the time we stopped we started thinking of all the people in our lives who need a copy. We will be buying them as gifts, a couple or so, every paycheck till everyone I know has a copy. Somehow when you read this, even though it says the same thing as other versions, the way it says it, brings it to light and it goes straight to your heart. You have to read it to see what I mean. If you're on the fence about getting it, please get it. You will not regret it. It's worth it. It's also very good quality but I didn't care about that. I care about it speaking straight to your heart and soul.
