- George Russell wrote: ‘I do not think the East has spoken with so beautiful a voice since the ‘Gitanjali’ of Rabindranath Tagore as in ‘The Prophet’ of Kahlil Gibran, who is an artist as well as a poet. I have not seen for years a book more beautiful in its thought, and when reading it I understand better than ever before what Socrates meant in the ‘Banquet’ when he spoke of the beauty of thought which exercises a deeper enchantment than the beauty of form….I could quote from every page, and from every page I could find some beautiful and liberating thought.’
I am not a professional reader, but I have loved this work of Kahlil Gibran for many years and it is my great pleasure, having the benefit of today’s technology, to read the work, record and publish it, hopefully for the listeners’ pleasure.
This narration is also offered as individual chapters, both singly and as a playlist, here on this channel. Also on my website www.extreme-ventures.co.uk

My dear late husband gave me this beautiful book when we were dating. I’m 72 now with stage 4 cancer. It felt like a visit with my sole mate listening to this and it made me realize I must share this with our children. Thank you!
God bless
The most beautiful book ever written.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Blessings to you

May your seas be calm Jerrie
As a young woman, I traveled to Manhattan by train and read the works of Kahil daily. His works influenced my life in a profound way. In my later years, I have published a book of Poetry " A Passionate Heart" Thank you for this beautiful work, your voice is as soothing as I imagined Kahil Gibran.
I am passing through very hard time and overwhelmed by fear and incomprehension. Please pray for me
This too shall pass
Keep going forward
@@marilynstevenson8832 thank you so much
Bluntly. Life is shit sometimes. But more times it is beautiful. Keep that in mind.
@@darger3 thank you so much
This is the best reading of this book ive found so far.
Neither too dramatic nor dull and monotone.
Thank you
Thank you Mudenge! I'm very happy to hear you've enjoyed my reading. Much appreciated.

@@PhilipSnow555 - I agree! Perfect voice. And backgrown music is not loud
or distracting. Thank you! 🌹
Indeed, Mr. Phillip thank you! And bless you and yours!
My wife had pancreatic cancer stage 3 when my son was just 4 months old. She is a warrior and after many surgeries, 2 yrs of chemo and countless rounds of radiation and 6 years later she’s the angel that was sent to Grace my paths and teach me humility. I found that voice after those years. It was indeed difficult. But nothing prepared me for my mother’s suicide a little over a year ago. Her birthday was yesterday. Thanksgiving will never be the same for me oh how I wish differently. Pray for my family and I. Pray for strength in my life and the peace watcher finds me yet again.

blessing to you may God give you consolation
I have had this book in my collectiom for about 60 years, got it when I was a teenager and have, and still do read it often.
It is a true masterwork.
Same here. Received this when I was 12 at the Orphanage.
Couldn't understand the KJV Bible....
But THIS I understood...was the "TRUTH".
As I grew and matured... I finally met Jesus.
The REAL Jesus.
NOT the religious Jesus whom the churches "pretended" to know & pretended to speak with His authority.
Matthew 15:8
These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. 😔🙏
They wield the Word as a S-Word 🗡️ to smite the baby lambs 🐑. Yet they lived in hypocrisy.
I hated that.
But he more I got to really KNOW Jesus the more I realized He had been lied about, used, abused for filthy lucre. 🤑
Matthew 21:12
12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and CAST OUT all them that sold and bought in the temple, and OVERTHREW the tables of the MONEYCHANGERS , and the seats of them that sold doves,
13 And said unto them, It is written, MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED
THE HOUSE of PRAYER AMEN 😔🙏;
but ye have made it a den of thieves. 🐺
Soon He will return and He will REVEAL Himself in great power majesty and glory for all to see
In John 14:26, Jesus said, “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He shall teach you ALL THINGS and will bring ALL THINGS (Back 🔙) to your REMEMBRANCE 🤔 whatsoever I have said unto you.”
Lord has always had a WITNESS in every generation...
The Prophet was Written by the MASTER BUILDER Himself thru Kahlil Gibran.
In my darkest hour I prayed many times for God to help me . Soon I met Ria , who immigrated to America in 1963 at 20 y/o . The year I was born . We became best friends and lovers and significant others . I found this book among other treasured books and she told me to read it . She knew it would be profound to me and it was .
She grows old now and frail and I am scared but I know I will find the book and read it to her . She is as beautiful as the book . I love her . We are nearly 20 years together now . And I weep
Thank you Philip . When my voice begins to falter I will hold her and we will listen together .

"For in that day you shall know the hidden purposes in all things, and you shall bless darkness as you would bless light." No extra words would do this expression justice.--Tom Reilly
Yes, we must be the light, that comes after the learned darkness. After darkness, comes the next day' s dawn. Let our light so shine, that we may be as a beacon to a lost and wayward ship!
I love that this book is still being read by so many. The reading was absolutely beautiful.
This reading touched my heart so deeply I was moved to tears all throughout - thank you!
I read this first when I was 17. Found it in a box of old books someone set out in the trash. Thought since it was such a small book I would read it. I didn't realize at that moment the words would plant the seed of the locus in my head and my heart.

These type of books should be introduced in Jr high school & in high school & carried throughout college, these teachings are needed for life... I listen over & over and it calms my soul with comprehension
I absolutely love it
The most beautiful book ever written.
A Book at my bed side since I started reading English poems. It helps me to transcend into the beyond and touch the Burning Bush. And you, Philip Snow, rendered it in a soothing tone deserving of the excellence of the Master Poet.
What an honor to listen to your narration of this treasured book. Thank you.
I have loved this mystic poet for many a year and today I found this totally awesome reading. It is so appropriate, for only yesterday did I find out a dear friend and co-worker passed to the other side 6 years ago! This reading is helping me to grieve so that I may begin the healing soon. Thank you Phillip Snow.
God has not given us the spirit of fear ! But of good courage! Cast your burdens and care upon him ! For he cares for you! Love JESUS ❤️🙏💕💕

The cremation of care is a ritual to Bhaal not jesus
I love how when I return to this book it is precisely when I need to learn the lessons provided. Funny how Jah works with such good timing
This is a stunningly beautiful narration; the peace from Philip’s tone, the music , the poetic power of the words. I want to listen to it over and over to absorb that peace with each phrase and intonation.
This book and the reader moved me to tears. Absolutely beautiful 💚. This one I will listen to over and over again 👂🙂

I once read something by Khalil about a young girl that died name Selma K. Could someone help me?
Death 1:22 this section was read at the funeral service of my long time friend and fraternity brother, Nick
You are the best reader I have ever heard... No one can do justice to this book as you have done!
Thank you Enrique, much appreciated! So glad you've enjoyed it.
{Good answer!}
Awesome reading, thank you very much. Very well read. Standing ovation to you Sir. 🎺🎶
For real !
@@PhilipSnow555 mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm? Ll
Found an old antique, leather-bound version of this treasure of a book many years ago. I took it on every trip across the world, through thick and thin, and always kept me centered. A good luck charm if you will. Just by looking or thinking about it peaces me right out. A dear friend from Netherlands of many years' wife had a very bad accident and he was not the same for a few years. I just had to leave him with this book the last time I saw him in Lyon over 4 years ago. Know it helped them in some way. I will find another one but in the meantime I just watch this digital version ;) Peace to all and thanks for the upload Philip Snow.
Bless you for passing your precious volume on to your dear friends. I hope you have found another copy to keep with you on your further travels. Blessings!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💖💝
A most gentle perfect reading of my beloved Gibran. Thank you.
Grateful to you Mr Philip Snow, for what you have gifted to us.. I can imagine The Prophet talking to me in your voice. Thank you Sir.
One of my most treasured books 📚 ❤ 😍🙏🏾
Thank you for your time to read out this book with mesmerising voice, God bless ❤🙏👍💐
Your voice and reading is sublime, thank you for this! Please record more classic books!!
I had no idea that an audiobook would make me so emotional. Philip...the passion and emotion in your voice makes this an out of the world experience. I sooo agree with the previous commenter.
Thank you for your dedication and talent to this recreation of a timeless classic, The Prophet. Bravo!
I'm not really educated literally..but my heart understands these beautiful words..
The person who admits to no education is very wise,and more learned than those who wasted their time copying and pasting the knowledge they possess!
Thank you
I listen to this every other day! Thank you!
I started reading Kibran, after President Kennedy quoted him. I have read all his works that I could fine. The Prophet to me is his most read. I have given it as gifts to so many in my journey. I have a copy to my son when he was incarcerated ..... Beautifully spoken in a calming voice. To all who listen to this Blessings light grace and love to your souls....
In lac ketch ❤️🙏✨🌸💖
Amazing voice!! What a beautiful rendition of this classic work of Gibran!
Words that pulse the heart and echoes the soul... Thank YOU for such gift of words.
I've been listening to this will saying goodbye to my feline best friend of15years..she is at peace n has a really magical time here on cat paradise..gewy is her name n she has taught these other cats many special ways ..her load meows will be very missed ...soon she'll be at peace in the cool ground with a apricot tree streaching to the stars.
A sublime rendition of a beautiful, treasured story/poem. Thank you for making it available.
Amazing! Read straight from the soul
Wonderful book,superbly narrated by Mr Snow. It was one of the best books I ever read...
Thank you Phillip, your reading is the Beauty, Truth and Love held in these Divine words.
It was magical. It truly was. Thankyou!
I was gifted a copy of this ...falling apart from the early 1900s 1020 1930 can't remember...but an original printing that was seemingly important...until I read it's timeless wisdom...to be as important to Christian...jew and Muslim as well as any ideology due to its universal truths....one of my prized possesions
💞❣️ AMEN ❣️
It's a wonderful book. Peace be with you. B R
Thank you Rom. Yes, it truly is a wonderful book. Peace be with you too
My precious friend Dani shared this with me!! I am finding so much of myself here. I am just in awe of its beauty!🙏🌹

Great job, it does this beautiful work justice
Thank you Neil, I'm happy you think so.
You, Philip Snow made me weep with your soothing voice.
This book was at my shelf for so long even it is short i couldn't read it. And whenever i started reading it i wandered.
But you made me read it.
Thanks alot.
Can we enjoy some more books like it?
Some books are like a teacher, Guru....
Thanks for this audiable.
Regards and love
Gibran kindled the philosopher in me
Thank u
The prophet is the ultimate 🙏
First time reading this book and it soothes me so much. Then I found this narration...when I am sad and terribly lonely, it feels like someone sitting beside me and holding me tightly. Finally someone who understabds me. Like a best friend.
A beautiful voice, a beautiful work of art.
Medical Ctr. Drs. gave my longtime friend a '50/50 chance' today. Laying down my phone, tried to quick think what was needed to quell the fright and Gibran fortunately came to mind.
But heaven's gift was finding the sound of you Philip Snow. No one will ever do it better. Absolutely remarkable. Bravo !
With Many Blessings, now & forever.
Thank you so much, Amy, and I'm so very grateful that Gibran and my reading were able to contribute towards quelling that very serious situation. I do hope your friend pulled through. Blessings to you. Philip
Love this narration! Thank you! ❤️🥰🌺☀️
You read it really beatifull. I am greatfull that you are not a profesionell, then i am afraid it would be totaly destroyed. This is a true treasure. Thank you so much. 🙂
My soul needed this. Thank you, Mr. Snow.
Philip Snow..Thanks-Giving For your poetry. ... Combined with your beautiful voice...Healing My Mind, Body and Soul X💞...The Circle of God's Love..Amen 💓
What an experience i just had. Wow. I followed the narration reading a portuguese book of the work i have. I've read it in 2012 and reread it now in '22. Thank you sir. Had i money a lot, i would done some to you if needed. Broken I am these time and hard times remind me this work by K Gibran. 🙏
Thank you. Your reading is beautiful. I first read Kahlil Gibran when I was twelve. It set the course of my life. I feel Blessed that I was lead to your reading of it today.
Thank you mister Snow. Our lanterns have been lit, if only for a while. Our paradoxes embraced with that wordless knowing
that ebbs and flows....ebbs and flows.
This is Incredible, many thanks
Oh my this is so beautiful it actually does touch deep within .I shared this so gratefully because it is just too wonderfully not too .
My Dear Phillip~ Thank you so much for this service unto Kahlil. I have no doubt he adores you for it! This was the first of Kahlil I would ever read~ and try to absorb in its infinite arrangement. That was more than 50 years ago. His writing and indeed, his heart has been with me every day and every path since. Through light and darkness, he has been there with me... guiding me to be the man I am.~ Peace be with you and yours always.... and, in all ways. R/
I LISTEN TO THIS ..ALMOST EVERY NIGHT WHILE I LAY MY HEAD TO REST..JUST BEAUTIFUL👍💯😇💖🌙🌞🌎
👀👀😉👍
As do I
@@yomilalgro very cool
thank you very much..great read..very helpful
You're very welcome, Sushil, thanks for saying.
First time listening to this gem....thank you for speaking the wise words with so much purpose! ❤️
My mother gave me a copy of this book when I was 15 and thought my world was crumbling. I've kept a copy ever since, always giving it away to someone in need then buying another.
my father gave me this book when i was 8 years old on thanksgiving. he wrote in the cover “may you read and understand” and throughout the years, i have understood deeper and deeper.
I watched bits of video/music based on this. Your voice has pulled me to listen and read. I am 65 and for 20+ yrs didn't like to stay few 10s of mins. even to watch TV.
God bless you.
*Claps* thanks for narrating this amazing book. Kahlil was a genius!
Such a soul touching poem and heartfelt rendition ! It feels as if the prophet was journeying from life to death and afterlife! Thanks, Philip!
kahlil your sacred works rule forever
The reading for this book, so beautifully done, thank you. I keep coming back to it just to listen to the voice
Thank you. I will listen and listen again and hopefully become planted and grow.
Thank you sooo much for reading it at this pace. I truly understand it as it is read in poetic form with true feelings. ❤❤ beautiful voice. And tone of voice with feelings makes or breaks good poems. And you truly give Gibran's work a voice.
Thank you for your generous comments. Very much appreciated.
@@PhilipSnow555 Have you thought about reading his other book, "The broken Wings?" I just purchased this short book, and was hoping to hear it from you. Can you read,"The broken Wings?" ❤💕
I haven't read it, so I'll check it out and see whether I could do it justice :)
❤️
Beautiful. Gibran's very best. Expertly narrated in a wonderful cadence.
The greatest book of all time. Such clear thought. It answers many a question.
I read this book about 10 years ago. It's life changing, I cried then, and cry still 😭😭
Oh sweet tears 💜
Words can't express how I love this wonderful book and narration. It fills my heart and soul.
Read with passion from the heart. Thank you for this Labour of love 🙏💕
My friend lent this book to me during my darkest hour. I cried so much reading it. Then I found this beautifully-read audiobook and I've listened so many times, I can speak along with the narrator like a prayer. The words touch me right to the core of my soul. The author reads back to me the lifelong beliefs I've unconsciously held. So many of the incidental descriptions and observations ring true as well. I feel like the author knows me personally, better than anybody in real life. I'm staggered that such a short book can provide such a depth of spiritual sustenance and wisdom.
One can create a new religion with this book only .
@@CosmosFlow He had to flee Lebanon for religious Maronites were burning his books . shall the eagle fly... ✨
this book tells a new enlightement
His work is a gift to all generations. Thank you.
Blessed is the sharing of this pure ,clean & musical flow of your voice impulsing our human hope to live Life Itself!! GRACIAS!
Thank you so very much, I'm so glad to hear of your appreciation of my reading as an impulse of our human hopes. Blessings to you.
The spirit of this book brouhht me to tears
The most beautiful book ever written 🙏🌹
I agree today is my birthday and this is the gift thank you
Ive listened to this for years . I know it by ❤❤❤
Wow this was beautiful 😍😍 😊😊
Thank you! So glad you like it!
I first heard Richard Harris perform Kahlil Gibran's, The Prophet in 1980 but it had little impact on me at the time. It wasn't until a few years later when I was a student at University that I stumbled across the book and recognised it from my earlier hearing of Mr. Harris' performance. I can only describe that chance rediscovery as a God thing. I purchased the book and read it in one setting that evening. It was transformative to say the least and the devine wisdom in his poem has been a guide for living over the past 30 years. I'd have to say that few books have ever had as much of an impact as this one on my life. The Bible, The Upanishads and a few others are in that catagory and I still have my original copy. I have purchased many copies over the years to share as gifts. Mr. Snow's rendition is lovely. Thank you.
This is the most beautiful and powerful wisdom/literature/poetry I have been blessed to stumble upon. This touched me so deeply, I cried through most of your reading ❤ Thank you so very much, Mr. Snow, for your lovely narration and sharing this audio as well as the transcript to read along 😊🙏
Philippe Gugenheim - The Prophet" its inspired beauty & deep truth reaches our heart & our soul , & illuminates our life : Glory to Khalil Gibran , & grateful thanks to its source to have inspired him so much , & for ever : Bliss to both , to have awakened us so much - My grateful thanks overpass my words
Melodious language. I like it. I will read this book someday. Love you mom. Thanks.
This book is truly a masterpiece
What a fantastic narration.
I have been fortunate enough to speak as the best man at 2 friends weddings and share the passage on marriage with those present. In the coming months i will again have to opportunity share it again at my sisters wedding. Beautiful words... read beautifully. Thankyou.
I had this book in my possession for a couple of years and two days ago I saw a poem and I looked for this book. I looked for it around my other books and I found it. I feel so blessed. What a beautiful book I will keep it on my nightstand.
His book is full of wisdom and just so good to read or better still spoken word
💜May his memory forever eternal❣
“A little while, a moment of rest upon the wind, and another woman shall bear me.” --- it happened. It's me. Not what people would expect, but I was a very good writer before I found out. Still have my doubts, but the experience I had when I saw The Prophet cover for first time was undeniable for me. A voice spoke aloud in my head (only time this happened) and said "This is you. This is you." Not trying to gain a single thing by saying this.
Enjoy the feeling. No apologies.
I did not expect to get punched in the feelings so hard. powerful writing
