Fabulous writing

The Prophet is a very thought-provoking and inspiring book. I purchased it after reading a few pages from a copy that my sister-in-law had, and I knew I had to have my own. An excellent collection of short stories and poems.

Walking in Enlightenment

Should we, could we all walk through life in such an enlightened state? What a wonderful peaceful world it would be. How can we deny that Kahlil Gibran was directed by the Gods to deliver a message: "be as one, live in the light, love is the only answer!" and so I paraphrase, but in truth, it is a way of life that is essential to the well-being of mankind.

This book will change your life--really.

I only wish I could read the original text. The simplicity and frankness, the blend of respect for the individual and appreciation of spirituality--this is the most astonishing work I have ever read.

As simple as this...

If you can read then read this book. After that, find somebody who can't read and read it to them. It's that good.

Excellent book by Kahlil Gibran.

This book is simply amazing, whenever I pick it up to read a certain passage I always find something profound and ingenious. I'm completely impressed by the unique style of writing that Kahlil Gibran has its like he has a realistic point of view and understanding of human relationships and nature.
Kahlil Gibran was a Lebanese writer and philosopher who lived in New York in the early twentieth century and many of his poems have been translated into more than twenty languages, he took many years to write The Prophet which resulted in this excellent and very insightful book, it was written and based on the extent of his knowledge. The book is written as a series of passages and the format is that of a prophet answering questions in life and he gives out words of wisdom on all subjects like love, marriage, work, children etc. I have read this book a few years ago and I was completely amazed and astonished by his style of writing, he definetely has a certain style which is a bit hard to describe I think that other reviewers have done a better job of describing this style.

In my opinion his work seems very spiritual and it seems more relevant it's not too preachy (I hate that stuff cause I'm not religious) and it was very philosophical and insightful, this aspect is what really got me interested in this book. I later found out that some of the words were very inspiring especially from Joy and Sorrow, it answers many questions in life since it has a deeper meaning and almost transcends human subjectivity it was also quite enjoyable to read.
I know that it might sound heavy but its not. If your the type of person that has an open mind and likes reading some insightful and highly poetic stuff then you should definetely check it out, heres a short excerpt from Joy and Sorrow:

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?
And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
