This review is from: The Kahlil Gibran Companion (Audio Cassette)

Kahlil is poetically - deep & Christian Spiritual seekers would do well to read his works. The philosophies embody his Christian faith from his Middle Eastern traditional upbringing, respect for Gentile & Jew. Several times I've read passages that would be great Lyrics for a song. Wisdom is coursing throughout the works of Kahlil Gibran. His words are like a good sermon they leave the reader feeling satisfied like a good meal. Nuggets of wisdom revealed.
