title: Visions of the Prophet
author:  Kahlil Gibran 
description: Praise for <i>The Eye of the Prophet:</i>"In these writings Kahlil Gibran takes us out of the wilderness into the joys and sorrows of everyday urban life. More personal and poltical than <i>The Prophet</i>, the book nonetheless sings with Gibran's lyricism and abiding wisdom."Wes 'Scoop' Nisker, author of <i>Crazy Wisdom</i>, co-editor of the Buddhism journal 'The Inquiring Mind'"This book shows once again why the writings of Kahlil Gibran have been such a rich source of spiritual inspiration in our modern world."Jacob Needleman, author of <i>The Heart of Philosophy</i>
