description: Kahlil Gibran has had continuing influence on scholars, theologians, philosophers, as well as artists for several decades. His books are still available in most book stores, and his influence continues. He has synthesized the mysticism and philosophy of the Near East with American and English linguistics. His words are of a maximum simplicity but contain a depth of thought, which this work is seeking to explore.This is an attempt to prove to the unwary the timelessness as well as the timeliness of the words of this Lebanese wanderer. As the words of many of his powerful poems and sayings are often heard, it is evident that there are definite theological conceptions new vibrant with life, almost thrilling but indeed, challenging. It is these that prompted the writing of this book. He was born in Lebanon, a land that has produced many prophets, and it is said that the millions of Arabic speaking people familiar with his writing in the language consider him the genius of his age and a modern prophet.About the Author:William F.
