Description
Since publication in 1923, Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet has sold millions of copies and been translated into more than 100 languages. Now, Gibran’s gentle sage, Almustafa, returns and speaks again to the people of Orphalese, deepening their awareness of life’s joys and pains. In a comforting voice that reflects universal appeal across international, political, cultural, and religious boundaries, he addresses the themes of love, marriage, children, divorce, depression, war, religion, and evil.
Advance Praise
“The prophet has returned, and just in time! This is an enduring new masterpiece.”
—Belvie Rooks, writer, educator, and human rights activist
“This essential work for every lover of The Prophet is a cornucopia of wisdom that addresses not only the issues in the original but also life’s more recent challenges: equality for women, divorce, depression, and terrorism. Readers will enjoy the beautiful prose, and immediately recognize it as worthy of continued contemplation.”
—C. David Lundberg, author of Unifying Truths of the World’s Religions
“The Prophet Returns imparts vital wisdom for the pressing questions of our time, relatable to truth-seekers of any age and circumstance. Almustafa, the sage, addresses our suffering directly—loss, divorce, poverty, war—yet he transforms this very suffering into a golden thread that we can follow back to the greater Reality of love and hope. ‘Nothing diminishes the pain of loss as much as helping others diminish their pain.’ ‘We must forgive people for being the only thing they can be.’ The author knows the yearning of the young and the completion of the old, the generosity of the lonely and the passion of the lively, the limits of personal love and the limitlessness of Love. ‘Do not seek beauty; unveil it.’ This beautiful book puts us at the feet of a teacher who guides us in the way of compassion, revealing a greater wisdom by igniting our own.”
—Fran Grace, PhD, author of The Power of Love: A Transformed Heart Changes the World
