A great faith blog... As much as it pains me to admit it ;).
This is written by a Twitter friend of mine, who is a lay Dominican. I personally have a huge devotion to St. Francis and the Franciscan way of life, and Dominicans and Franciscans tend toward a friendly rivalry. Check out his blog at Christopher's Apologies.
The Sacred Page
One of the contributors is my favorite Theology professor, Dr. John Bergsma. Here is the description from the page:
The Sacred Page is a blog written by three Catholic Ph.D.s who are professors of Scripture and Theology: Michael Barber, Brant Pitre and John Bergsma. The title of the site alludes to the Second Vatican Council's teaching that, "the study of the sacred page is, as it were, the soul of sacred theology" (Dei Verbum, 24).

Bob Rice
Bob Rice is another professor from Franciscan University, as well as a national speaker and Steubenville conference host. I never actually had him for class, but I genuinely enjoy his writings. Typically targeted at a younger audience, Rice speaks truth in the most matter-of-fact way.

Great Christian and Catholic Christian books... For your average seeker.
I am not a fan of lofty, big-word language books. Not that I'm sure they don't have wonderful content, I am just the type of person who likes a mild challenge, not a huge one, requiring dictionary.com. Here I have complied a list of my favorites. None are overly-complicated, but I can assure you that you will learn something profound from each of these titles.
