Who are you reading?

My blog roll is not as large as it used to be. (I need to go though those at the side of my page and clean up my old blog roll)   Many of you who wrote then, quit like me.  Life happened to some and they quit.  I grew tired of the tone of some and stopped reading.  Some took off into other directions and I am so glad for them.

But others sprang up and took their place.  I love the voices that I read.  I seem to be able to feel connected with people as I read what they write.  I love the inner thoughts spilled out onto this interweb thingy.

One of those authors is Addie Zierman.  For most of her posts she takes a phrase most often used in evangelical Christianity and writes about it in the most open and usually profound way.   Her post today (God-Shaped Hole)  was brilliant and makes me wonder if I should just stand aside and let those of us with a real ability say it better.

 But really, if you don't already have her in your reader  then please put her there and go back to read her old stuff too.   Like this amazing piece - An Open Letter to the Church - How to love the Cynics or this one from a few days ago - you worship people might like this - Audience of One.

Other authors I am appreciating:
For a true take on the Grace Message:  Escape to Reality
For brutal honesty:  Jamie the Very Worst Missionary
And a true Elder of the Church:  Sword of the Kingdom

What/who are you reading now?

Hi :)
Actually, I'm reading anything and everything I can get my hands on re: Narcissistic Personality Disorder- because I think 'christian service' is attractive to them and our church structures can even encourage a healthy person to accept Narcissism as 'normal'
I did find a blog written by a Christian guy who writes about it a lot. I've found it helpful.
It's called 'Grace for my Heart. On WordPress :) I'm glad you're writing again :)
