When I was a boy, I loved to draw, but I don't think I did so with much carnal ambition (an eager desire for personal advancement). When I graduated high school in 1990, feeling flung out into the world, I saw personal advancement as more important in order to survive - but I speak more of employment at that point in my life, and I did not have a thought about using art in order to make a living.

When I was a boy, I loved to draw, but I don't think I did so with much carnal ambition (an eager desire for personal advancement). When I graduated high school in 1990, feeling flung out into the world, I saw personal advancement as more important in order to survive - but I speak more of employment at that point in my life, and I did not have a thought about using art in order to make a living. But that was also about the time that I started committing myself more to the love of Christ, which moved me to read the Bible more, and to read books about Holy Writ, which was accompanied by books teaching me about history, literature, etc. The more I read, the more I wanted to write, because I wanted to work out the thoughts in my head. And the writing started giving way to illustrations: to a return to my boyhood pleasures. That is what this book is - my attempt to draw the world closer to Messiah (Christ Jesus) through the gift he has given me. This book contains over 100 of my artistic expressions. Some of my drawings have been published in different books, and some have not. The art in this book is just a taste of all of my artistic work. Some of them are in Spanish because of my stay in Mexico, but many are in my native English. And if you find one not in Spanish or English, it is because of my fascination with tongues. As it is written in Acts 2: They were all filled with Ruach HaKodesh (the Holy Ghost) and began to talk in different languages, as the Spirit enabled them to speak.
