Gibran's Masterpiece

This is, by far, the most inspiring work I have ever read. The prose is so strikingly beautiful that the reader finds she must look away to regain her composure. Gibran's take on joy and sorrow is profound and very moving:

Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.
And how else can it be?
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven?

A masterpiece. If you don't own it-you should!

Speak to Us of the Prophet

The Prophet, for me, is a very vivid yet dense book. It speaks some sort of wisdom, and I delight in that wisdom when I can understand it.

The illustrations are done by the author himself, which is nice.

Inspiringly simple but also deep ...

"A brilliant man's philosophy on love, marriage, joy, sorrow, time, friendship and just life. Originally published in 1923 - translated into more than 20 languages. Also has drawings by Gibran...A poetic ,inspiring little book that you can read over and over again..."






The book of reminders

Kahlil Gibran writes in so few words that which each of us knows deep down in our conscience, but forget from time to time as we become consumed by the chaotic discourse of life. I pick up this book anytime I feel the need to shift my perspective from one of confusion and anger to one of love and peace.

Great Gift

I have drawn wisdom and counsel from the Prophet for years - I bought this copy to pass on to a young co-worker. It is a great gift for those sensitive ones who are struggling to find their way in life.
