Ann's Blog: A Holy Experience

Since reading One Thousand Gifts, I have been skimming Ann Voskamp's blog and reading posts that capture my interest. There are several posts that I have particularly enjoyed that will bless you as well...

Reading Habits

I try to read three blogs on a regular basis: (1) Desiring God Blog, with which you should be familiar since I link to it regularly, (2) Challies.com, and (3) Ligonier Ministries Blog. The first two are very accessible for the lay person. The third can be pretty intellectual, but it is worth the effort. I confess that I skip the occasional Ligonier post that is beyond my ability to adequately concentrate.

Out of all three of these blogs and the variety of contributors they include, my consistent favorite is Paul Tripp. He posts at Desiring God Blog, and his writing always blesses me. You can find his most recent post, "The Shortest Distance Between Points," here. Click on his name at the top of the post to read more of his posts. Tripp is also the author of many well-respected books, including The Age of Opportunity, a parenting book that I strongly recommend. Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands and War of Words are on my Amazon wish list.
