Entre los Repatriados da una vista hacia atrás a la vida del autor así como al trasfondo de su familia. Principia con una descripción histórica de la migración de sus padres a los Estados Unidos. Su padre, Emilio Pineda, fué uno de los muchos mexicanos indocumentados que vinieron a los E.U. cerca del año 1917 a trabajar en los ferrocarriles, durante una escacez de trabajadores causada por la participación de la nación en la primera guerra mundial. Su madre con dos de sus hermanos, se sostenían vendiendo jaulas para pájaros y colgadores de ropa hechos de cuernos de buey. Después cuando ella se unió a Emilio Pineda, ella le ayudaba a pizcar algodón en Phoenix, Arizona. Cuando nació el autor, nació en una cabaña de un cuarto como sus otros hermanos. La vida era muy sencilla para él hasta que llegó a la edad de cuatro años, que vino a marcar una nueva era de retos para él. Se comienza a meter en todo tipo de problemas debido a su curiosidad y juguetonería. Los problemas solo continuaron cuando su papá murió prematuramente. Este evento lo hizo mostrar sus emociones por primera vez y le ayudó a darse cuenta que la vida es frágil y preciosa. Cuando llegó la Gran Depresión, la economía trajo graves consecuencias a la familia Pineda. Lo peor, fue que su viuda madre oyó que el gobierno federal estaba repatriando mexicanos indocumentados de regreso a México. En vez de esperar para que los agentes de inmigración llegaran a repatriarlos, la familia decidió regresar por si misma. El vivir en México se tornó en una experiencia muy difícil y extranjera para Pineda. Al pasar los años, el autor perseveraba y con rasgos de suerte, vino a formar una familia en la tierra del destino.

It is the King James Version and Almeida Recebida translations, good and accurate translations for learning either language, as well as having a correct and reliable translation from the received texts of the Holy Bible itself.

This present volume is divided in columns for each language, with each corresponding verse line matching its equal on the opposite side of the page. The font size and style is easy to read. Typo's and the rare instance of missing information (such as superscriptions above psalms and colophons ending epistles) have been translated from English to Portuguese, and in some cases Hebrew into Portuguese, by Alan Lewis Silva, who has lovingly and carefully edited this wonderful book.
