Book Review: The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran


This famous bestselling book of the Lebanese American writer Kahlil Gibran is written about a prophet who waits to board a homebound ship.There he addresses his followers. His teachings consists of 26 prose poetry essays on themes which include children, work, clothes, crime, punishment, reason, passion, pain, self-knowledge, friendship, time, religion and death. The prophet addresses his followers on all these significant subjects in life. To date this book has not lost it appeal among the readers.My favorite line from the book is when Gibran says: “You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth”.
