Rating: Summary: Read it once, and learn more about yourself... Review: This classic of all time is a wonderful book and I would reccommend it to anyone who enjoys thinking their true being and how they interact with the world around them. Gibran is one of my favorite authors of all time and he explores ideas that are encountered in every day life. His unique ideas written into a beautiful poetic language help the reader to discover who they truely are
Rating: Summary: THE BOOK THAT ASWERS MANY UNASKED QUESTIONS Review: Although the book was written a long time ago it still applies to the present! It is easy to read and answeres many questions you might never ask anybody else but yourself.
Rating: Summary: The Most Deep Understanding of the Life Review: The Most Deep Understanding of the Life, an asrtistic way to apreciate the life values in all aspect
Rating: Summary: Poetic, Profound, and Brilliant Review: Fabulous! This book touched me deeply, and each time I read it, I come away with some new insight. There is fast-food writing, and there is full-course writing. Fast-food writing is lightly read, quickly finished, and never read again. Full-course writing is a fine meal for the mind and Soul, and is chewed over, digested thoughtfully, and returned to again and again, like a fine restaurant. The Prophet is such a book, and continues to be an all-time favorite of mine
Rating: Summary: A book that will open your eyes to the world. Review: This book is a masterpiece! It is definitely an excellent guide to your spiritual life. Regardless of your age, sex, or religious beliefs, you can learn a lot from this book, about yourself as well as others
Rating: Summary: MidWest Book Review Review: If I have ever read a book that is timeless, other than the Word of God, it would have to be this one. Although I may not have agreed with every word written, so many of the words of wisdom within these pages brought peace and comfort to me. I read this book many, many years ago. I quoted from it at times and thought of it often. The words seemed to wrap themselves around your heart and spring out in times of need. There are not many books that can stake that claim, and I have read many.A classic in my opinion and a book that will never be outdated. Recommended.
Rating: Summary: The Prophet, was listener, and a teacher. Review: I seem to have adopted much of my thought, and thinking, of Gibran when i seemed to listen to the silences, and the wisdoms of his words.
And he seemed to translate the sound ,and the silence within my mind, as if to say ...He was teaching me how to better listen, and know my heart, and my joy. I am a roman catholic, and even my priest had a hard time trying to listen and hear Gibran, and even more so A preacher seems to say Gibran esteems himself above Christ.
Wich i know Gibran ackwowledged Christ!!!!
May so he seemed to have memorized the psalms, at the age of eleven, went to the college of art in Paris, and seemed to have an understanding ,of Christ

Rating: Summary: I cried reading this book Review: This book was recommended to me by a friend. What he told me of it is that, just as The Art of War, this is the book from which you take out whatever you want. What you find in it depends as much on the book as it does on you. It speaks of love, life and people in the most touching way ever. I have it in my handbag at all times. When I first read it, I cried. There is literally something mystical about it. I like to think I took a lot out of it. One of those books you should read again and again and again..
