“In Search of a Prophet is a profound spiritual exploration into the life and work of the beloved poet Kahlil Gibran,a much-needed guide for our times.” –Reza Aslan,author of Zealot

In Search of a Prophet is a captivating journey through the spiritual life of Kahlil Gibran, the great Lebanese poet and author of The Prophet, a book originally published in 1923 and has since sold over 10 million copies and been translated into dozens of languages. Captivating our imaginations and enriching our spirits, Paul-Gordon Chandler explores this beloved writer and artist, a celebrated mystic who sought to build bridges and tear down walls and who remains a cultural icon among all people of goodwill.

Rather than a traditional biography, In Search of a Prophet is a compelling spiritual exploration through Gibran's writings, art, and the places he lived. From Gibran's birthplace village high in the snowy mountains of Lebanon, Chandler leads us through his emigration to Boston, art training in Paris, career in New York, and to the far-reaching places of influence his writings and art have traveled, alerting readers of Gibran's continuing relevance for today.

This paperback edition, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the publication of The Prophet, includes a foreword by The Most Rev. Bishop Michael Curry, former presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church, as well as a new preface by the author.
