Book Reviews of The Prophet
Book Review: A Modern Rumi
Summary: 5 Stars
A timeless classic. It is a very demanding and assuming title, but Gibran backs it up with some excellent style and content. If he had the means to publish it a century or two earlier, he could have inspired a new religion.From the mouth of an old man about to sail away to a far away destination, we hear the wisdom of life and all important aspects of it. It is a messege. A guide book. A Sufi sermon. Much is put in perspective without any hint of a dogma. There is much that hints at his birth place, Lebanon where many of the old prophets walked the Earth and where this book project first germinated most likely.
Probably becuase it was written in English originally, the writing flows, it is pleasant to read, and the charcoal drawings of the author decorating the pages is a plus. I loved the cover.

A 'special' friend offered me this book.It is very precious for me as it is a gift of love.Everytime I read this book I think of him. I think that it is an interesting book that can be gifted to someone very dear.Book Review: A Real Pleasure
Summary: 4 Stars
This book was a fine, smooth, easy read. Well thought out lines of philosophy are presented in a non-offensive easily digestible manner. It's a nice bit of thought provoking fluff, with none of the downside of heavier philosophers. It's positive in its outlook, without being unrealistic. There are some almost metaphysical aspects of the material presented, but nothing too heavy, flaky or overboard. You may not agree with everything said in these pages, but there is no doubt that you will still enjoy the read and, like me, will find much here to uplift and inspire you.
This is a classic gem that is very quotable, too.
Book Review: A Tool for all ages.
Summary: 5 Stars
The author is way before his time. A true visionary with a pure and simplistic approach to the "Keys of Life". Hard to believe that all this was composed circa 1928. R. Steel
