Anchored in Christ

Like lists of top books of the year, top post lists can be somewhat arbitrary. Do I choose a post solely based on traffic? If that’s the case, articles posted in January have ten more months of traffic than those posted in November, and thus an unfair advantage. Do I base on social buzz and shares? That also has its problems.

This curation falls under the category of “Editor’s Choice”—quality articles that are personal favorites. Enjoy!
