Critic reviews

“Cadenced and vibrant with feeling, the words of Kahlil Gibran bring to one’s ears the majestic rhythm of Ecclesiastes . . . 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.” —The Chicago Post

To ‘The Prophet’ that exists in Us All!

I have revisited this incredible work many times in my life and it has always nurtured my Soul!
I hope that you find it as nurturing as i have.
