It is sometimes said that the devil always has the best music. However, in the use of the internet Christians are giving him a very good run for his money. The following is an attempt (almost certainly with significant ommissions!) to highlight the pick of the Christian Resources currentlyavailable online.

If you aware of initiatives please do let us know and we will take a look and possibly mention them here.
