    looking forward to the book review blog-athon. best of luck and i hope you have some good coffee on hand!

The last would in general be the more liberal (and its the one I belong to).

    The above links from Bob are good, and so is christianchronicler.com
    Hit up the ‘restoration history pages’ link in the middle. Then hit up ‘the kentucky christians’ and read the next 3 pages.
    Good lookin’ blog – though I preferred the wider black and blue layout of yesterweek!
    Thanks bro,
