Words of inspiration and wisdom for every facet of life.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Prophet (Wordsworth Classics of World Literature) (Paperback)
I first came across Kahlil Gibran when I found an extract from The Prophet in an anthology about friendship. The Prophet's description of friendship epitomises the strength and comfort one finds in a true and close friend and evokes the ambiance of such a relationship - warmth, sustanence, cherished time etc. I instantly fell in love with Gibran's writing, and so was thrilled to find there was more. The Prophet's poetic descriptions of all aspects of life have been a joy and inspiration. I have often found just the right phrase or sentiment to capture a particular moment in my life and in the lives of people I love and admire. I have owned several copies of The Prophet, but somehow always find someone I want to give it away to - it is the kind of book that I feel brings a blessing on anyone who takes time to look at life through the unique lens Gibran offers.

Prophet,
By
This review is from: Prophet Pocket Edition (Hardcover)
This may be a short book, but it is full of insight. It is perfect to dip into at odd moment for that renewed spiritual focus or uplift, or just as good to read in one sitting. It is a classic with good reason and cuts to the core with it's deceptively simple style. There is much depth to this book to be explored and comes highly recommended.
Feel free to check out my blog which can be found on my profile page.

The Prophet - A book for the Soul,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Prophet (Book Blocks) (Hardcover)
The Prophet is a life changing book. Kahlil Gibran writes with exquisite prose to talk to our soul, to touch what he knows is there but is still untapped. He understands the Universe and translates that language for us, he wants to make us see what appears to be beyond reach, but which is the divine potential in all of us. Most of all he expresses an incredible love and understanding of humanity that is beyond any religious institution and that elevates us to universal consciousness. You cannot be the same after you have read The Prophet. Excellent!
