We’ve written a few times about lists like these and how it’s pretty subjective at times. We’ve come to the conclusion is that, in general, our audience is mature enough to handle these types of lists and see them for what they are: Lists.

Thoughts on this list?
Derek Brown says
No such thing as a Christian blog, only blogs written by Christians. 😛 Anyway, I’d submit my own for #99: http://doxologie.org
Jose Hernandez says
This is my blog: http://www.praisethesavior.org here people can post & view Christian related material completely free of charge.
Mike says
Where’s ragamuffinsoul – Carlos should definitely be on the list
Kyle Reed says
Thought the same thing
Kyle Reed says
i am going to have to really disagree with this list. Not because my blog didn’t make it on there (ha), but more because a lot of the blogs seem out of place.
Like the category of humor blogs. How is Shaun in the City a humor blog?
Also, controversial blogs has Anne Jackson in there, dont see that one. And in the category does not have Jesus Needs New PR, one of the more controversial blogs IMO.
This list seems a little off base, and no human3rror.com, cannot miss that one.
Ileana Ortiz says
Totally agree with you.
SamMahlstadt says
Seems the list left off some pretty high profile blogs that would have fit in their categories. And they included some, as Kyle mentioned, that made no sense in the categories. It seems a bit under-informed, but such is the nature of lists.
BeDeviant made the list, which is very cool. Lots of blogs I hadn’t heard of that aren’t usually mentioned on such lists. Oh well…
Lauren Hunter says
just wondering how these were selected – was it by Alexa rankings, or by some other measurement for numbers of readers, etc to determine how the blog made it on the list?
Mitch Ebie says
Thanks for the list! I see quite a few blogs that I already follow on here, which means we both have good taste.
Nan Jones says
I am a facebook friend of Clayton King. He posted that his blog was #18 on your lineup. I think it is awesome that you took time to compile this list and, if I may be so bold, I would like for you to review my blog, Morning Glory daily devotionals, http://morningglorylights.blogspot.com/ and tell me what you think. I began this blog the end of March and have had a very good response. Its purpose is to help Christians, especially women, who are not established in their faith. They warm the church pews Sunday after Sunday but have never taken the time to discover what a thrilling book the Bible is! Morning Glory teaches little nuggets of gold from the Word each day. My prayer is that, through this blog, I can stir up a spiritual hunger and thirst for for each of my readers.
Thank you for taking the time to read this note. I would be delighted if you would consider venturing over to my website and/or blog to see what you think.
Sweet blessings to you,
Nan Jones

I usually am weary of “top” or “best” lists. If you want to list some good reads or blogs, that’s cool, but determining the “top” has ro have some level of preference;which is fine if you take it all with a grain of salt.
That being said, I agree with Kyle, where is Carlos’ blog? And why is Shawn in the city under humor? I mean he’s funny and all at times, but not enough for it to be listed as humor based.
What about a ChurchCrunch blog must read list? Sounds like a nice project for those interns…:)
Danny Bixby says
Meh.
One thing I do like about this list though, is that it’s different from Kent Shaffer’s. Which is usually what I see quoted as “the list” people refer to.
Good to break out of the circle for a bit.
Kyle Reed says
agreed
Lori says
I typically hate these lists also, and also agree they left some really great bloggers off the list. That being said, it did lead me down some bunny trails. I have not heard of some of them.
PaulSteinbrueck says
The list (and the whole site actually) looks like pure link bate to me.
I think I’ll create a list and see how many of the top 98 bloggers I can get to link to it. 😉
brynte says
You should be on this list too!
Mikes Sumondong says
How I wish my blog will be included soon. I don’t recognize much of the blogs here but it’s time to check them out.
few ones like challies, worship matters, church crunch and be deviant are the ones i personally like! and oh stuff christians like: who would forget?
Justin Wallace says
How do you determine the list?
Phillip Gibb says
my first thought was: why 98? what happened to 99 and 100?
Jarrod Cartee says
Wow thats awesome, number 45 is the pastor of the church I go to:)
Elder Burbidge says
So what even makes a good christian blog? The world of Chritianity is so confusing these days. So many opinions, who is right?
