So 2011 has been and gone, and here are the highlights on this blog according to my mish-mash of web stats. Overall it was a busier year than 2010 with nearly 28,000 visitors, up from 18000. Sounds a lot to me but not really, just an average of 76 a day! March was the busiest month. For reasons that will become clear.

10. Book Review: Consumer Detox this was my book of the year.

9. Book Review: The Great Divorce by CS Lewis proved popular as a result of the hell debate

8. The new reformed: the sound of arid logic chopping reflected on the often dull presentation of the new reformed movement

7. Should a church be excellent? was a comment on the value of excellence in church life

6. Book Review: Losing my religion? another book review and one that gained a bit of attention

5. Book Review: Crazy Love this review from 2010 remains well-read

4. Political issues: Afghanistan and Defence oddly enough this post from April 2010 remains one of the most popular.

3. Pay in a megachurch: can this be right? this comment on the pay of megachurch pastors, gained some traction

2. Why David Platt and James McDonald are both wrong was another reflection on the issue of money in the church

1. Do Rob Bell, Tim Keller and CS Lewis agree on hell? was by far and away the most read post I’ve written in six plus years of blogging, and if I want more traffic I know what to write about. It gained almost as many views as the other nine put together and explains why March was my most popular month. It does what it says on the tin.
