He has lived in Orphalese for twelve years. Before he leaves, the townspeople gather and ask him to speak about the things that shape their lives: love, giving, work, pain, and freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis replies form twenty-six short sermons in prose poetry. Rather than build an argument, Gibran offers calm, image-rich reflections on ordinary life and its largest questions. Almustafa speaks of love’s demands, the ties between joy and sorrow, and the care people owe one another. Each subject offers a place to pause and consider your own experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInside this book\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLove with room to grow\u003c\/strong\u003e – Explore Almustafa’s view of love as both a calling and a difficult path.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGiving beyond your possessions\u003c\/strong\u003e – Consider what it means to give freely and bring love into daily work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJoy beside sorrow\u003c\/strong\u003e – Sit with the thought that laughter and tears draw from the same well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJudgment with human care\u003c\/strong\u003e – Follow reflections on wrongdoing that refuse to treat the wrongdoer as a stranger.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuestions without easy measures\u003c\/strong\u003e – Turn toward beauty, prayer, time, and death through Almustafa’s quiet, searching reflections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for readers who enjoy short reflections on love, work, family, and grief, and want pages to return to in small pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen the first page and join the people of Orphalese as they gather to listen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Library of Alexandria Press","offers":[{"title":"eBook","offer_id":58289318265180,"sku":"LOA-C630-EB","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audiobook — Coming soon","offer_id":58289318297948,"sku":"LOA-C630-AU","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":58289318330716,"sku":"LOA-C630-PB","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":58289318363484,"sku":"LOA-C630-HC","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/9442\/8764\/files\/loa-top-00630-en_02c67afb-deb0-4091-ba38-3bfd9948d6f7.jpg?v=1792697431","url":"https:\/\/libraryofalexandria.com\/es\/products\/the-prophet","provider":"The Library of Alexandria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
