One of the appealing things about "The Prophet" is that it transcends cultural separations. Jews and Muslims, and Hindus and Christians can all find something in the book. There are obvious spiritual tones, but these "tones" are produced so well as to only appeal to the reader and not to push anyone away. This work is also very intoxicating; although I have been sober for almost four years now, "The Prophet" is almost like a wine for the soul.
