Backbone:Updated Linkroll



This week I probed the Web and blogoshpere for superlative resources in the form of websites and blogs that discusses the impact that Religion( mainly Christianity) has on the private as well as the public sphere of one's life. These sites as well as blogs can be found in my Link roll for your informative pleasures. According to The Webby Awards, the content and infrastructure of Christian Coalition of America website is very appealing to the reader where one can know whats happening of importance within Christianity on Capital Hill as well as inviting the reader to join its cause in in acting change in legislature. Like Christian Coalition of America, The Institue on Religion & Democracy educates and supports changes in congress for freedom of Religious rights of people and organizations, but also seeks this out world wide. Thus, this site is great for getting educated on political events in the religion sector within the United States and Internationally as well.In The Girzzley's Lair, Arthur has an interesting view point on various topics that would inspire the reader to interact with him. However, Arthur does not have any sites that explore the faith of Christianity or would inform the reader about his faith. Despite this note, Arthur has an extensive archive section from the present back to February 2006. In Christianity Today, informs the reader with an superlative resource on ways to build and develop leaders in the Church, in the home, and in the work place. Cased on the Webby Awards, Christianity Today does a great job of interacting with the reader on free subscriptions to Voice of the Martyrs or a free trail version of Leader's Journal. Also, the site's functionality is great where the site regularly scrolls ads across or pops up key free resources that the reader can receive. Also, like Christianity Today the PEW is an amazing site that offers news about every area in Religion and how it relates to public life from politics and laws to home issues to the public’s general view point of religion.Within Focus on the Family, this site hits key issues that impact the dynamics of a family, such as, Relationships & Marriage, Parenting, Faith, Entertainment, and Life Challenges and so on. It is overall a resource center for to-be parents or how to have a life long marriage. This site also allows you to interact with a friend by sending an email to your friend about a resource that you think might be of some use/encouragement to them!. In relation to inspiring and developing relationships, Life in Site of Christ is a great blog for watching videos of inspiring, soul invigorating messages that spurs you on or develops curiosity as to what the viewer is living for. The blog does a great job at keeping its sermons up-to-date that allows its viewers an easy one stop solution if they missed church that day. However, it would have been cool to read an abstract of how the message impacted “Gospel lover’s” life or present situation. Furthermore, some of the advertisements like Palm Readings are contradictory to the messages about trusting in God to tell you what your purpose is and the overall point of the site. Lastly, NRB & Evangelical Press Association are two sites provide an opportunity for the gospel and Christian related issues to be viewed in press and on TV broadcast stations around the world. These two sites are great for people who are artist, writers, publishers, or broadcasters who want to join an association where they can be trained, inspired, and network with other professionals. However, it is not accessible for the average college student or non-professionals.
