Paperback, [EAN: 9780375701405], Alfred a Knopf Inc, Alfred a Knopf Inc, Book, [PU: Alfred a Knopf Inc], 1999-02-01, Alfred a Knopf Inc, In a distant, timeless place, a mysterious prophet walks the sands. At the moment of his departure, he wishes to offer the people gifts but possesses nothing. The people gather round, each asks a question of the heart, and the man's wisdom is his gift. It is Gibran's gift to us, as well, for Gibran's prophet is rivaled in his wisdom only by the founders of the world's great religions. On the most basic topics--marriage, children, friendship, work, pleasure--his words have a power and lucidity that in another era would surely have provoked the description "divinely inspired." Free of dogma, free of power structures and metaphysics, consider these poetic, moving aphorisms a 20th-century supplement to all sacred traditions--as millions of other readers already have. --Brian Bruya, 2205888011, Custom Stores, 7187330011, Amazon Publishing, 16256501011, Audible Audiobooks, 13901671, Audiobooks, 14244971, Bargain Books, 13621591, Boxed Sets, 194725011, Canada Day Deals, 377366011, Christian Living Store, 263003011, For Dummies Store, 2354164011, Formats, 714830011, Kids & Family Store, 370821011, Qualifying Textbooks - Fall 2007, 1040638, Specialty Stores, 916520, Books, 933178, United States, 933188, African American, 933190, Asian American, 16170526011, Hispanic American, 16170527011, Native American, 16170512011, Regional & Cultural, 932624, Poetry, 927790, Literature & Fiction, 927726, Subjects, 916520, Books, 933146, Inspirational & Religious, 16170516011, Themes & Styles, 932624, Poetry, 927790, Literature & Fiction, 927726, Subjects, 916520, Books, 16170524011, 20th Century, 16170521011, Time Periods, 932624, Poetry, 927790, Literature & Fiction, 927726, Subjects, 916520, Books, 953420, Religion & Spirituality, 953638, Buddhism, 953666, Christian Books & Bibles, 954506, Earth-Based Religions, 954528, Fiction, 954542, Hinduism, 954560, Islam, 954588, Judaism, 954652, New Age, 954710, Occult, 954756, Other Eastern Religions & Sacred Texts, 954776, Other Religions, Practices & Sacred Texts, 16045781, Religious Art, 954802, Religious Studies, 954820, Spirituality, 927726, Subjects, 916520, Books, 930040, Philosophy, 930042, Aesthetics, 15852131, Analytic Philosophy, 15852101, Ancient, 930044, Consciousness & Thought, 930116, Criticism, 930046, Eastern, 930082, Epistemology, 930084, Ethics & Morality, 930086, Free Will & Determinism, 930090, Good & Evil, 930092, Greek & Roman, 930094, History & Surveys, 930096, History, 17th & 18th Century, 15852111, Islamic, 930098, Logic & Language, 930100, Medieval Thought, 930102, Metaphysics, 15852081, Methodology, 930104, Modern, 930106, Modern Renaissance, 930118, Movements, 15852121, Ontology, 16036481, Philosophy of Religion, 930108, Political, 930110, Reference, 930112, Religious, 15852091, Social Philosophy, 930114, Theism, 5489589011, Politics & Social Sciences, 927726, Subjects, 916520, Books<
