''I was raised with an artist''s mentality; my first 25 years were spent as somebody who wanted to live among graphics and artwork and illustration, and then for the next 30 years it was all music. Recently, I''ve reverted into the arts, combining all these elements in my work, still trying to change the world. This is truly what I want to do. My deepest thanks to Genesis for giving me a place to be able to display all of this through my artwork.'' - Chuck D ufeffIn his first fine art book, Livin'' Loud, Public Enemy founder, hip-hop pioneer and revolutionary activist, Chuck D, presents a body of artworks which continue to address the social and politically conscious issues of his lyrics.

With a foreword by Rage Against the Machine''s Tom Morello, Chuck D''s art debut Livin'' Loud is a visual experience of over 250 artworks, each piece reflective of the man behind the music.

¿Será posible que Dios le haya estado hablando, pero usted no haya percibido su voz? Tal vez Dios le habló a través de una idea que colocó en su espíritu, un pasaje bíblico o mediante un sueño profético. Todos esos medios son posibles, conforme Dios continúe hablándole hoy de diversas maneras. Por ser creados para tener comunión con Dios es que podemos oír su voz, conocer su corazón y entender su voluntad para con nosotros. Chuck D. Pierce y Rebecca Wagner Sistema, le muestran cómo recibir las palabras de Dios, cómo interpretar los sueños y las visiones, y, por último, como realizar el destino que Dios tiene para usted. Hearing the voice of God is not as difficult as some might think. It may even happen without our realization. As God has spoken throughout the ages, He continues to speak today in many different ways, including through an impression in a person''s spirit or through a passage of Scripture or via a prophetic dream. Since we were created to commune with God, He longs for us to draw near to Him so that we can know His heart and understand His will for our lives.
