In Search of a Prophet explores the all-embracing spirituality and life of Kahlil Gibran, the Lebanese born Arab-American poet-artist, mystic and best-selling author of The Prophet. The book and event explore this beloved writer and artist, a mystic who sought to build bridges and tear down walls.

This event commemorates the 100th Anniversary of the publication of Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet.

In Search of a Prophet is not a traditional biography, but a compelling spiritual journey through Gibran’s writings, art, and the places he lived. From his 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, from Cairo to Mexico City.

Delving into passages of some of Gibran’s writings—both famous and lesser-known—Chandler breathes life into this captivating poet artist who moved beyond religion to the core of universal spirituality and was a unique blend of East and West.

Paul-Gordon Chandler is the Bishop of the Episcopal Church in Wyoming. He grew up in Senegal, West Africa, and has lived and worked extensively around the world. An author, art curator, social entrepreneur and an authority on the Middle East and Africa, he is passionate about using the arts to further our global quest for a more harmonious future, both with each other and with the earth. He is the author of several books including the acclaimed book on Muslim-Christian relations titled, Pilgrims of Christ on the Muslim Road.
