Mikhail Naimy
This book is an exciting and informative spiritual journey in the company of Christ. It is an open and honest dialogue, a heart to heart conversation with Jesus, a friend, a man, and "The Savior." The book is daring and provocative but inspiring. Naimy wrote it when he was in his eighties. It is the fruit of years of meditation and analysis. It compels you to re-think and re-evaluate your own understanding of the Holy Book and the stories that you grew up with and accepted at face value. These are the stories that you took for granted to be the truth and the whole truth about your faith and beliefs. It is a personal journey of self discovery towards the holy, the sacred, and the divine resid...
Kahlil Gibran: A Biography
An intimate, literary biography of the renowned Lebanese-American poet, written by his close friend and fellow author. Best known for his collection of prose poetry, The Prophet, Kahlil Gibran is a legendary figure of early twentieth century literature. In this biography, Mikhail Naimy digs beneath the mythologized persona. Here is Gibran the man: wanderer, lover, and seeker of truth and beauty. Naimy, for whom Gibran called on his death bed, was a literary leader of the Middle East. He speaks as a direct observer and confidant, setting forth in intimate detail the incidents of Gibran’s life. Many of Gibran’s previously unpublished writings and sayings are included, throwing new light on the perspective and personal thoughts of a writer who has been so influential in the worlds of literature, art, and philosophy. An extensive supplement includes, among other valuable material, Gibran’s last will and testament, and a series of personal letters written by him to the author over the years.

Mikhail Naimy: Al-Ghirbal (the Sieve): Selections Translated Into English with an Introduction
When The members of the Pen Bond Association (al-Rabita al-Qalamiya), a distinguished group of "like-minded" authors to borrow Naimy's phrase, were busy writing and publishing in New York City and striving to modernize and change the course of Arabic Literature, there was another group in the Middle East, particularly in Egypt (The Diwan Group) trying, within the limitations imposed on them by their closed environment, to do the same but with much less success. Perhaps it is not fair to compare the achievements and impact of these two separate groups on the modernization of Arabic literature and poetry at the turn of the twentieth century and the three decades that followed because al-Akkad,...

The Book of Mirdad
A classic of spiritual literature for fans of visionary, metaphysical, and mystical novels such as The Little Prince and The Alchemist Mikhail Naimy, a contemporary of Kahlil Gibran, author of The Prophet, has woven legend, mysticism, philosophy and poetry into a powerful allegorical story that has touched the hearts of millions of readers. This timeless allegorical tale presents the teachings of Mirdad, abbott of a monastery that stands where Noah's Ark came to rest after the Flood. In a series of dialogues with his disciples, Mirdad offers lessons on themes such as love, obedience, borrowing and lending, repentance, old age, and the cycle of life and death. Reissued for a new generation, this prophetic work calls on humankind to prepare for another deluge, greater than Noah's, when Heaven will be revealed on Earth. Includes a new foreword by Andrew Harvey, author of the bestselling A Journey in Ladakh and several other seminal works of spirituality.
Meditations & Affirmations
You have the incredible potential to be, do, and receive whatever you desire, imagine, and truly believe. Unfortunately, only a small number of people achieve their full human potential, because they fail to recognize and harness the infinite power of the subconscious mind—the divinity within them and around them. Meditations & Affirmations will show you how to create your own new reality through desire, imagination, and belief.
Gibran, Rihani & Naimy
Originally published in Russian during the final years of the Soviet Union, this volume examines the influences of foreign literary movements, specifically Romanticism and Realism, on the three authors examined within. By viewing Gibran and Rihani's works in the light of English poets such as Wordsworth, Byron, and Shelley and American writers such as Emerson and Whitman--and by exploring Naimy through the lens of the Russian Realist tradition, drawing parallels specifically with the work of Belinsky, Tolstoy, Turgenev, and the Chekhovian tradition--this work provides an unusual window into the Arab world's cultural interaction with Europe, America, and Russia in the early 20th century. At the same time, it reaches beyond its academic scope and reveals universal elements that speak to all people and go beyond cultural frameworks altogether.
