If there is a man or woman who can read this book without a quiet acceptance of a great man's philosophy and a singing in the heart as of music born within, that man or woman is indeed dead to life and truth." -- Chicago Post

    Philosophical Gem

    If you haven't read The Propet by the Lebanese author Khalil Gibran, do and you will love it. It is a treasure of non-denominational wisdom from the Prophet who is awaiting arrival of the ship which will take him "home". Before departing he speaks to the town people about various topics of profound human interest such as love, work and children. Personally, I have read it several times. Very inspirational, specially in these times.

    Great book!

    I've bought 8 copies over the years as gifts. I have two copies of my own, and this is one of the greatest books I've ever owned. As far as Theology and Philosophy goes, this is the best combination ever written. Will probably buy more copies for friends and loved ones.

    A Memorable Book

    Extremely well written, simple in style, short in text but deep with meaning. I've been gifting this book for over forty years. Each time I read "The Prophet" before sending it off to friends, I realize new meanings behind this wonderful man's words. It is right up there with Heinlein"s "Stranger in a Strange Land".

    The Prophet

    A timeless book of wisdom and insight that is relevant today. After reading a quote by Gibran I was compelled to order the book it was taken from. I am thankful that I did because the entire text has many precious jewels of wisdom. This book is a highlight along my spiritual journey. I was surprised to find that it is a rather short book but each page is packed with timeless wisdom. It is beautifully written and illustrated

    The Prophet by Khalil Gibran - Highly Recommend for a Wedding Gift!

    This is a wonderful book! This is the 3rd time I've purchased it. Once for myself & twice as an "add on gift" to the main wedding gift. I've read the excerpt on Marriage at several wedding ceremonies. It's always heartfelt & appreciated, & adds that special touch to the occassion.

    One of my favorite books. Throughout the years, I have purchased for many friends whom I thought might find comfort and insight from Gibran's words.

    Thought provoking

    I love the book. I had to replace my original 1975 copy because of flood damage. I was disappointed that the shade of paper used is almost a lime green. Is this typical?
