If I were to make a list of my top ten favorite blogs to read, it would certainly include Blogging Theologically by Aaron Armstrong. One of the first things I saw when I went online after my unexpected long weekend without internet was a Tweet announcing that this blog moved to a new site; I thought it would be a good opportunity to point out this gem.

While it might not have been the first I read, "Selling Ointments and Stealing from Moneybags" was one of his first articles I remember reading. It made me think and has certainly influenced how I think about poverty. I particularly liked the sentence "We pursue justice, not because we can end poverty, but because Jesus will."

This summer he wrote about his trip to Honduras with Compassion. Reading about his trip encouraged me to pray more for the child we sponsor through GFA.

I enjoy his book reviews, which are frequently about books I have actually considered reading. Not only does he read, he encourages others to "Think about What You’re Reading", saying "A great book is one that doesn’t just challenge the way you think, but challenges you to think."

If that isn’t enough to convince you to check out his blog today, perhaps the incredible giveaway of Doctrine, Surprised by Grace, and Think will persuade you to head over there.

I reviewed Surprised by Grace.

In case you don’t win the giveaway, Doctrine⁂, Surprised by Grace⁂ and Think⁂ are all available at Westminster.

Think is also available at Desiring God’s Christmas Sale. If you buy Bargain Set 3, you get Think and three other books for $10 (the lowest price I have seen for it).
