The Chicano Bible: Barrio Arte Frank Alvarez

I write for healing and inspiration. The Chicano Bible is about growing up in Los Angeles, California. The Chicano Bible is about the trials, heartaches, and tribulations that teenagers are faced with. I included poetry in a chapter. The Chicano Bible consists of short easy essays targeted at the young Chicano minds that need God in there lives to help them get through difficult times. The Chicano Bible is my confession and personal battle with alcoholism, I am a new person now and if God can use me he can use you too. The Chicano Bible is a fusion of my volunteer work throughout Southern California, attempting to prevent self-destructive behavior among children and youth not realizing that I too needed help. I founded Barrio Arte in Oceanside, California after having survived the cancerous and often deadly "barrio" warfare that I saw in Los Angeles. The Chicano Bible is a compilation of short stories, poetry, pictures, and God's illumination, strength, hope, and power
