P&D: Top Posts in the Last Year

Our readership is relatively modest, as blogs go, but we are thankful for the opportunity to proclaim the Gospel message by way of this site. In the last year, according to Google Analytics, we had just over 40,000 unique visitors and 85,883 pageviews. How many readers and how many views constitute success in the online world? I suspect it might be similar to a quote I heard attributed to J. Paul Getty about how much money it takes to satisfy: “Just a little bit more.”

Today I’d like to feature links to our top posts in the last year:

1. Why I’m Still Here by Mark Ward (3548 views)

2. The Biblical Approach to Disaster Relief by Gordon Dickson (1634 views – originally posted in 2012)

3. Not Given to Wine by Mike Harding (1360 views, also a 2012 post)

4. Passion Conference: It’s Danger and Lack of Passion for Truth by Matt Recker (1351 views – from 2014)

5. Congregational Singing Is Cool Again by Chuck Phelps (1251 views)

While three of these posts are from earlier years, these numbers represent readership in the last twelve months. It is interesting to see that posts from previous years can suddenly capture someone’s interest and get shared around, bringing it “back to life” months after original publication. To date, our published posts run to 1537 since we began our blog. We are building a library of sorts that may prove useful for years to come.

We thank you, readers, for your interest in our site. Please share our pieces, like us on Facebook, link on other social media platforms, whatever you need to do! Because you know how many readers we will be satisfied with: “Just a little bit more!”
