Since Kahlil Gibran released his universally acclaimed masterpiece, The Prophet, in 1923, his incredible book has been renowned for its profound answers to life's deepest questions. Yet Kahlil Gibran's beloved tale left us yearning for more after an unfulfilled promise of the Prophet's return when he wrote: "Should my voice fade in your ears, and my love vanish in your memory, then I will come again."

Now, several generations later, Kahlil's descendant Hajjar Gibran has written the long-awaited answer to this promise. With its universal themes, personal narrative, and timeless advice, The Return of the Prophet opens the doorway to a new generation's classic, and a modern understanding of timeless spiritual wisdom.

Hajjar recalls an intimate, spiritual connection with the Prophet while journeying together through the themes of abundance, betrayal, desire, forgiveness, and others.

"Hajjar Gibran's captivating and mystical saga of the human spirit reminds us of the undercurrent of magic running just beneath the seemingly ordinary details of our every day life, revealing the sacredness and purposefulness of our existence." -- Michael Bernard Beckwith, author of Spiritual Liberation: Consciously Fulfilling Your Soul's Potential Only from the lineage of Gibran could there emanate such a timeless and eloquent expression of the good, the true, and the beautiful. The Return of the Prophet offers a soulfully intoxicating literary cocktail of mystical wisdom and artistry set in a compelling contemporary setting." -- Ward M. Powers, filmmaker and director of One, The Movie "A living, timeless essence encapsulated in word form. Reading The Return of the Prophet was like ingesting Liquid Light; my soul felt nourished, nurtured, and inspired by the wisdom of every syllable fl owing through my being." -- Suzanne Sullivan, psychotherapist
