I just wrote a long post on my own blog about him and the Lebanese Christians. His is a fascinating story, reminiscent of the desert fathers but very nearly contemporary. And the Lebanese Christians in their tenacity of faith are worthy of emulation by Christians everywhere. I also just quoted from your post on my blog, as it adds to the picture of Lebanon, so thanks for this!
