Publisher's Summary
Khalil Gibran's classic story of the advice given the people of Orphalese upon the departure of their beloved teacher. As poignant and delightful a listen as ever, certain to inspire your higher self.
Public Domain (P)2011 Michael A. Smith
What the Critics Say
"In a distant, timeless place, a mysterious prophet walks the sands. At the moment of his departure, he wishes to offer the people gifts but possesses nothing. The people gather round, each asks a question of the heart, and the man's wisdom is his gift. It is Gibran's gift to us, as well, for Gibran's prophet is rivaled in his wisdom only by the founders of the world's great religions. On the most basic topics--marriage, children, friendship, work, pleasure--his words have a power and lucidity that in another era would surely have provoked the description "divinely inspired." Free of dogma, free of power structures and metaphysics, consider these poetic, moving aphorisms a 20th-century supplement to all sacred traditions - as millions of other readers already have." (Amazon.com review)

"Timeless Knowledge"

What other book might you compare The Prophet to and why?I would compare this book to The New Testament, but it is a modern version based on faith, love, and friendship.
What about Michael A. Smith’s performance did you like?Mr. Smiths performance was not a distraction.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?Yes
Any additional comments?A very good book.
