Paul is often a guest speaker, lecturer or spiritual teacher about the topics of his books, or on subjects related to intercultural/interreligious peacebuilding, the transformational role of the arts, the Middle East and Abrahamic religious traditions, and the all-embracing spirituality of Kahlil Gibran, the early 20th century poet-artist & author of the best-selling book The Prophet.
Paul’s next book will be published on March 1, 2027, titled “Drink Deeply with Kahlil Gibran: Invitations to Quench Spiritual Thirst, by The Pilgrim Press. It is a book of spiritual reflections that journey into Kahlil Gibran’s words of depth, mystery and beauty, inspiring readers to awaken to their "greater selves." With a Foreword by bestselling author Brian McLaren, the book features contemplative paintings by celebrated Egyptian contemporary artist Hady Boraey.​​​​​​​
