Kahlil Gibran considered The Prophet his greatest achievement. He said: "I think I've never been without The Prophet since I first conceived it in Mount Lebanon. It seems to have been a part of me....I kept the manuscript four years before I delivered it over to my publisher, because I wanted to be sure, I wanted to be very sure, that every word of it was the very best I had to offer." The Chicago Post said of The Prophet: "Cadenced and vibrant with feeling, the words of Kahlil Gibran bring to one's ears the majestic rhythm of Ecclesiastes....If there is a man or woman who can read this book without a quiet acceptance of a great man's philosophy and a singing in the heart as of music born within, that man or woman is indeed dead to life and truth."

The early years of my life have influenced my entire remainder of my life. I went through neurosurgery nine times when I was five years old . The next forty years have been spent making up for time lost to compensating for my weaknesses. Earning an Associates degree from College of DuPage was just the beginning for me. Moving to Sarasota, Florida was the best thing Ive ever done. In 1990, I met the man destined to become my husband. We married on January 19, 1991. On January 19, 2011, we celebrated our twentieth wedding anniversary. There have been many changes in our lives: lost loved ones, furthering of education, changes in residence; but life is stable for now. As a fluke, I began writing poetry. I was told that Im good at it. I enrolled in an Adult and Community Education Creative writing coursethat one course has changed my life, forever. One of the lines from one of my first poems expresses exactly how I feel, namely: I want to write, write, write till my words touch the sky This is me, Cynthia Ann Boesen Parker. Ive gone through serious illness and life tragedies to get here; to the writing that has given me a wonderful new life. Look out world, here comes Cynthia Ann Boesen Parker.

This is a book about healing, forgiving and reaching out to others. In this book I try to be as transparent as possible. Over the years I've learned that anything that I've allowed to remain hidden has power over me. Only through revealing and then dealing with the pain will healing be allowed to take place. The Bible says in Revelation 12:11 " and they overcame him, by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony". God did not give me a spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind. I can't fully serve God and help His people if I'm afraid of what may be said or thought of me. I am a servant, my whole life's goal is to please my Savior. God saved me from depression, suicidal thoughts and many other destructive behaviors, I'm not foolish enough to think that I could ever repay Him. What can I give Him that He hasn't already given me? I will spend the rest of my life laboring in His fields, spreading the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, proclaiming God's unfailing love for All of His children. Perfect love casts out fear, my love for God won't allow me to be afraid. I can stroll fearlessly through the valley of the shadow of death and fear no evil because He is with me His rod and His staff comfort me. I am not, nor will I ever be ashamed of anything I've gone through. The things that were designed to break me actually shaped me into the woman I am today.
