Books by Kahlil Gibran
The Prophet
by Kahlil Gibran
This is a very poetic book. It’s a series of 26 philosophical essays tackling lots of different issues. It’s about the chosen one, called Al-mustafa, and people come to him and ask him questions about love, marriage, and children – really the whole spectrum of life’s issues. It doesn’t really matter what your religious background is when you are reading this. What it shows is that, despite religion, we all have a lot in common and there are basic human truths that we should all aspire to.
