Book Reviews of The Prophet
Book Review: A Journey Through the Importance of Being
Summary: 5 Stars
Gibran's masterpiece takes the reader on a journey through life. A journey and how-to guide on being. Topically discussed, the importance of being is threaded intricately through this joyful and proverbial poem of wisdom gained and experience learned. Gibran unravels the dichotomies of joy and sorrow, wealth and poverty, life and death and many others. This poem is a must read on any spiritual journey, regardless of religion, denomination or sect.Book Review: A Lifelong Gift
Summary: 5 Stars
I was given this book by a friend almost 2 years ago, and have read it numerous times since then. This is more than a story, it will change the way you think and enlighten you to a level that is totally unexpected. I never had an interest in philosophy before reading this book. It is something you can pick up at any given time and not have to read cover to cover, but pick a chapter on an issue and go through the book that way. It is a wonderful gift.Book Review: A Literary Masterpiece
Summary: 4 Stars
Seldom am I forever touched by a book. When I read the "The Prophet" for the first time I was 16 years old. I have read it many times since. Gibran's peaceful passages have brought me contentment in everyday life for many years now. I highly recommend this book, especially to the younger reader. Kevin HinesBook Review: A Master Poet

Summary: 5 Stars
Inspirational and true teachings about various aspects of life are what you will find when you read this beautiful book. The book is short, 96 pages, and includes artwork by the author. The short chapters begin with various people (a ploughman, a judge, a woman, a rich man, an old priest, a mason, a hermit, etc.)asking the mystic to speak about different subjects of life, such as: On Beauty, On Good and Evil, On Marriage, On Joy and sorrow, on friendship, and many more)
I have to say that if I had come across this book much earlier in my life, I know I would not have understood or appreciated the beauty of it. I mentioned a quote from this book to a friend once who told me that her mother in law gave her the book years ago, and she had never read it. I told her what a treasure it was and after (finally) reading it, she loved it too.
There is so much wisdom here to learn from. This is an incredible book!
