The Art of the Personal Essay: An Anthology from the Classical Era to the PresentFor more than four hundred years, the personal essay has been one of the richest and most vibrant of all literary forms. Distinguished from the detached formal essay by its friendly, conversational tone, its loose structure, and its drive toward candor and self disclosure, the personal essay seizes on the minutiae of daily life vanities, fashions, foibles, oddballs, seasonal rituals, love and disappointment, the pleasures of solitude, reading, taking
For more than four hundred years, the personal essay has been one of the richest and most vibrant of all literary forms. Distinguished from the detached formal essay by its friendly, conversational tone, its loose structure, and its drive toward candor and self-disclosure, the personal essay seizes on the minutiae of daily life-vanities, fashions, foibles, oddballs, seasonal rituals, love and disappointment, the pleasures of solitude, reading, taking a walk -- to offer insight into the human condition and the great social and political issues of the day. The Art of the Personal Essay is the first anthology to celebrate this fertile genre. By presenting more than seventy-five personal essays, including influential forerunners from ancient Greece, Rome, and the Far East, masterpieces from the dawn of the personal essay in the sixteenth century, and a wealth of the finest personal essays from the last four centuries, editor Phillip Lopate, himself an acclaimed essayist, displays the tradition of the personal essay in all its historical grandeur, depth, and diversity.Binding Type: Paperback

Larger than Imagination True Story
Format: Kindle
Throughout the book Holy Spirit would confirm the truth of what is written here to me with His unmistakable presence, filled with vibrant energy and peace.
In some places my neck bones would shift and move into alignment, with audible pops.
My sinuses got very clear as I read as well.
Over and over simple sentences would instantly draw out tears or big sobs. Not from the emotionalism, rather from the depths of me responding to the Spirit of God present on simple words.
These are all things I know to come from God and His annointing resting on Ana and this book.

My faith skyrocketed as I read this. God is no respecter of persons. I am determined to not only climb, but to conquer my Mount Everest in Jesus mighty name. Isaiah 54:17.
