Claiborne has a pretty fascinating movement, and his popularity is really interesting considering his message. I wonder to what degree his "new monasticism" is treated seriously by those who really "think it's awesome." The book is a bit wordy (especially by page 275, which is where I began to tune out), but Claiborne's an interesting character with an interesting life. It's a fairly okay read, and would be fun to look at with Young Adults.
