Holy Folly: Short and Tall Tales from the Abbey of Gethseman

Loved the book! Clearly illustrates that humanity and monastic life co-exist. I have been to Gethsemani on many occasions, met several of the Monks there, interracted with them at prayer, meals, and in social settings. These are men of prayer and contemplation, and are also human beings with a gifted outlook on life and a sense of humor. It is very rare for one to see the lighter side of what lies beyond the cloistered walls and monastic enclosures of a life of prayer. Don't hesitate to buy the book, it is a fun and enlightening read and then plan a visit to Gethsemani.
