Who wants to see a real Christian

Interesting  wording for the subject i thought. I obviously can't say that the people i talk about are any more or less Christian than anyone else but they seem to be people that are honest to God, honest to themselves and honest to their blogs. (it goes without saying that the guys in my blogroll that talk about faith fall in this category too [well most of the time])

In no paticular order

John Shore http://johnshore.com - Professional writer and has some interesting posts that seem to me to be honest.
Jason Boyett http://blog.jasonboyett.com - author of the pocket guides to sainthood, the afterlife and the bible.
Ben Norton http://bluesoul.wordpress.com - author of espresso scripture
David Hayward http://www.nakedpastor.com - pastor of a vineyard church in canada

that will do for now, what i'd say is if you've got some time, read the writings of these people, subscribe to their RSS feeds and when you're reading think, "Is this what i belive?" "Am i right to believe what i believe?" and then even if you find yourself disagreeing violently with what the say you have critically thought about your beliefs and found them to be good and that is always a worthwhile use of your time.

So to end my current favourite quote from C.S. Lewis (feel free to extend it to any area of life, it will work)

“We do not need more people writing Christian books; what we need is more Christians writing good books.”
