Best Resources

I wanted to provide you with a summary of resources from Crossroads for 2015. Hopefully, this is a post you can bookmark and refer back to as needed. It will include a list of the most read Crossroads posts this year, plus a summary of resource posts and other blogs/sites that we read and look for resources ourselves!
