“My claim is simply that the literary approach is one necessary way to read and interpret the Bible, an approach that has been unjustifiably neglected. Despite that neglect, the literary approach builds at every turn on what biblical scholars have done to recover the original, intended meaning of the biblical text.” WayHas BeensDoneTurnsApproachClaimsOriginalsDespiteNeglectScholarBiblicalNeglectedTurn-on Book:How to Read the Bible as Literature Source: How to Read the Bible as Literature
“[Richard Crossley's] previous bird guide, for ID'ing Eastern birds, is the most imaginative, original attempt to re-envision the birding guide and set his approach apart from that of Sibley, Kaufman, Peterson, Nat'l Geo, and the other bibles in the field.” FieldsApproachBirdOriginalsGuidesEasternImaginative Author:James Wolcott
“Advice to a new writer: There are no rules in this profession. Do what is good for you. Read books and watch films that stimulate your writing.

“It was funny how the old practices always came around again. It was the rhythm of human enterprise to invent and worship some new approach, to fully reject it a generation later, to realize the need for it again a generation or two after that and then hastily reinvent it as new, usually without its original elegance.

“The 'I' casts off the illusion of the 'I' and yet remains 'I'. Such is the paradox of Self-realization. The Realized do not see any paradox in it. Consider the case of the worshipper. He approaches God and prays to be absorbed in Him. He then surrenders himself in faith and by concentration. And what remains afterwards? In the place of the original 'I', self-surrender leaves a residuum of God in which the 'I' is lost. That is the highest form of devotion or surrender and the peak of detachment.” SelfFormLostCasesPrayingQuietApproachHighestIllusionOriginalsRemainsCastsSurrenderDevotionSelf RealizationRealizationConcentrationParadoxDetachmentWorshippers Author:Ramana Maharshi
