Web Reviews of Banner Books 2009 No. 2

Kuiper’s little book’ [Keith Mathison on Kuiper’s God-Centred Evangelism in an article ‘Does the Center Hold?’ at Ligonier Ministries’ Tolle Lege blog].
Below are links to selected online reviews of Banner titles posted during February 2009. The views expressed are of course those of the respective bloggers. For each title mentioned, a link is also provided to the appropriate page of the Banner online Bookstore, where orders can be placed.
