THE SPIRITUAL CLASSIC- An allegorical tale for readers of The Little Prince and The Alchemist, set at a monastery built on the site where Noah's Ark came to rest.

Mikhail Naimy, a contemporary of The Prophet author Kahlil Gibran, 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.

Reviews for Book of Mirdad: The Strange Story of a Monastery Which Was Once Called The Ark

'Millions of people have tried to write books so that they can express the inexpressible, but they have utterly failed. I know only one book, The Book of Mirdad, which has not failed; and if you cannot get to the very essence of it, it will be your failure, not his.' Osho
