Who reads Fallen From Grace?
People from all over the world and from all walks of life. Restless Wanderings is not a one size fits all blog. If you like Bruce’s writing on Monday rest assured he will piss you off by Sunday. Most of the readers are agnostics, atheists, deists, and people who are transitioning away from fundamentalist/evangelical Christianity. Christians are welcome here but they need to realize that this is NOT a Christian blog.
