== The Rebbe's References to His Books ==

When Fishel sent the Rebbe his book "Chassidic Revelation Stories," the Rebbe welcomed his book and even replied with a special letter. In the letter, the Rebbe writes to him, among other things, about the disadvantage in transferring a story from one vessel to another and the need to maintain the originality of the story as told by the person who experienced it. When the writer wants to insert his own interpretation - the Rebbe continues - he should first bring the story exactly as written and then add his interpretation, and both should be maintained. Likewise, when Fishel wrote his book "The Power of Advocacy," the Rebbe assisted him in obtaining details and information related to the events discussed in the book.
