The Prophet
by Kahlil Gibran
The Prophet is a book of poetry by Kahil Gibran, a Lebanese poet and philosopher. The book begins when beloved Almustafa is leaving the city of Orphalese to return to his birth place. While he is waiting for his ship to arrive, the locals ask him fundamental questions about life such as love, death, good and evil, joy and sorrow, friendship, freedom, etc. The book is basically his responses to these questions.
This is a very approachable classic book. It is not difficult or preachy. It is spiritual but not necessarily religious. I especially enjoyed the sections on marriage and children. This is the type of book you want to reread from time to time, and you get something different every time.
