The Prophet

Everyone should read The Prophet. Gibran is a master of words and a genius of thought. I give this book to others as an arrow of love and life.

Kabul Gibran’s, The Prophet

First read it over 50 years ago in my hippie days. Purchased now for a gift to my daughter in-law who’s helped me so many times. Wrote in the 1930s loved by many generations.

Amazing

This is the book elvis had and it's absolutely incredible how close to religion and God he was.
