This was a massive undertaking for me, and I'm proud of the completed work. It's not without its flaws, and I did mispronounce a few names and places. But despite being an imperfect result from a fledgling narrator, Gibran's writing speaks for itself and the quality shines through!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Thanks for listening!

Did you have a favorite chapter (or three?) Let's talk about them in the comments! I don't know if I can pick a favorite, there are so many good chapters. I'll mention two here: I loved Matthew "The Sermon On the Mount". it was such a beautiful retelling of that famous sermon and perhaps the best known teaching of Christ. Gibran paints new perspective in these Bible stories, it's so cool! Maybe my favorite when I was recording this was the final chapter, "A Man From Lebanon". I recorded it in one take, and almost felt like I got into the character of Gibran as he wraps up this epic book and with finality acknowledged the Lord Jesus Christ. It left me speechless. "...And though you are the youngest of us all You father us all. Poet, Singer, Great Heart, May our God bless your name, And the womb that held you, and the breasts that gave you milk. And may God forgive us all." - Khalil Gibran

“Am I not already in your house?” Chills. I’ve lived my life immersed in the teachings of Jesus and later, studying all religions and mysticisms like a Jesuit. It has brought me the greatest love and the deepest inward journey. “All men love you for themselves, I love you for yourself” Hafiz and Rumi and many others have completely influenced and inspired my poetry, lyrics and screenplays. But this work has been a seminal influence on my life and creative works. “I alone love the unseen in you.”

[@JosephAlanMeador]

@@MalissiaCreatesThat's one of my favorites. Mary Magdalene, On Meeting Jesus For the First Time, if i'm not mistaken. I'm glad to hear it inspires you too! Gibran put a lot in this one

People should know that Gibran is not a shining example of a man of the spirit. He lived a worldly life in total contradiction to his preachings. Time has come tell the truth. Check for yourself good people of the world . Remember, no god or king can save you from want or anything else, you've got to save yourself. People who follow this bloke are in a faith like trance and have stopped thinking for themself. Turn to yourself and follow your instincts and inner voice. Bon voyage ! G'day from Australia 🇦🇺.

[@JosephAlanMeador]

Thanks for the comment! This is a great point; none of us is a shining example of perfection, and that certainly includes Khalil Gibran. We should not elevate a human and make them an idol, including OURSELVES! For ALL have fallen short of the glory of God. But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. There is one in whom we can trust, forever. Jesus Christ alone lived a perfect live, and he was fully man and fully God. He came here for you, and for me, and even for Khalil. Thanks again, and blessings to you!

[@redmatters9318]

@JosephAlanMeador It is considered that christians follow idolatry. No king ,god, or superstion can make you free... you've got to free yourself. Go ahead and try it. You have nothing to lose, but your shackles ( ⛓️) ie your ⛓️ chains. G'day from now from Australia 🇦🇺 chains

[@JosephAlanMeador]

Oh, I did! For 15 years I searched. The last five I fervently sought the Spirit, and had little breakthroughs of my “own”. But it wasn’t until I surrendered to Christ that my shackles were removed. Not until I surrendered the lie that I could do it in my own; when I let God work in me, then did I find myself. It it excellent that you are seeking the Spirit and the truth. Follow the evidence wherever it leads you. You have nothing to lose but your chains!

[@redmatters9318]

@JosephAlanMeador The evidence is clear. There is no god. It's a malignant .Read the book Toledot Yeshua. Understand how to cocreate a shared reality and practice tinkun olam, thereby the start of repairing the planet. G'day from 🇦🇺 🪃 Australia. if it's going to be, .say it's up to me to make the start. Begin to think for yourself.

[@JosephAlanMeador]

@@redmatters9318 Thank you for the comments, I want the best for you! Peace to you in the name of Jesus.
