Feast on a Good Book

How do you know whether a book is worth buying and reading? 

A recommendation by someone you trust sure does help. 

Because it’s somewhat tucked away on my site, you may not be aware that I do a lot of book reviewing. Visit my RPM Ministries Book Review Site for links to over 350 reviews.  

To encourage you to visit often, in today’s post I point you to a number of sources for my book reviews, plus a sampling of some of my favorite reviews.
