Book Reviews of The Prophet
Book Review: A book that will change your life...
Summary: 5 Stars
If I were shipwrecked on a desert island and could only take one book, this would have to be it. Never have I read such a compassionate discourse on the very issues which we all think about each day, no matter if it is 1923 or 2003. Work, marriage, love: each subject is treated with a short essay that will challenge everything you have ever been taught. Gibran's words also give comfort to the reader when ordinary counsel has left him lost. Each reader should re-read this book every 10 years. Although Gibran's words never change, you have; it is like meeting up with an old trusted friend...you are home.Book Review: A brilliant piece of philosophy.
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book when I was 18 and fell in love with the style of the author. Later, I also discovered the subtlety that KG uses to say that "Life is beautiful". The Prophet and Tears and Laughter are epitomes of wisdom( and not spirituality !!!).Book Review: A few hundred years from now this book will be a bible
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is almost as if Kahlil Gibran took the pains and joys of millions of people and somehow managed to encapsulate all these wonders in this one book. In his own unique manner, Gibran has explored every facet of human existence. Although the book has a sacred charm to it, there is a universal appeal that should allow anyone of any religious persuassion enjoy this gem of a book. I wouldn't be surprised if a few hundred years from now some theologians unearth this book and conclude that it was a bible of our times.Book Review: A guide for living
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading The Profit half a dozen times, I consider it the closest thing to my personal bible. Gibran's pragmatic spiritual philosophies are practically undebatable, and he doesn't miss a beat. If you want to gain insight on the meaning of life and learn how to live a fulfilled and happy existence, be sure to pick up this gem.Book Review: A life altering book
Summary: 5 Stars
In the Prophet Khalil Gibran's words touch upon the important aspects of life in a way that really brings them to life and makes sense of them. This book has not left my bedside since I got it months ago.
