100 years ago today, Kahlil Gibran changed the world. He published his masterpiece, The Prophet.

Kahlil Gibran said he wrote this book because he wanted to write a book that would heal the world! Indeed, it has done that and done much more. The Prophet is the book that makes you fall in love with words. It is poetry. It is prose. It is just wonderful.

The Prophet follows the story of a prophet, Almustafa, who was leaving a city after living there for 12 years. The people of Orphalese asked him to share his wisdom on various topics and the result is this rich conversation that has something for everyone. This book has sold more than 100 million copies and has been translated into more than a hundred languages. It is a timeless book that continues to bless anyone who has the courage to open it

The people of Orphalese told Almustafa, "Yet this we ask ere you leave us, that you speak to us and give us of your truth. And we will give it unto our children, and they unto their children, and it shall not perish."

100 years later, four generations later, this truth has continued to shape lives and influence people. I wager that it will continue to influence millions.
