November 12, 2009Top 10 Posts of the Last 30 Days
What you read during the month of October.
Katelyn Beaty
Another month, another top-10 roundup. Thanks to all our regular readers and stumble-upon visitors for your thoughtful commentary on the topics we've recently covered — especially Wheaton College's search for its next president, what makes women happy, and online scams that target Christian women. Keep the comments coming over the next month as we cover Bollywood-flavored Bibles, online confession rooms, and the importance of father-child bonding time. And if you have more ideas for what Her.meneutics should cover, please e-mail me at kbeaty[at]christianitytoday.com or fellow editor Sarah Pulliam Bailey and spulliam[at]christianitytoday.com.
