12 Days of Logos - Christmas Special - Which resources would you like to see most

Christmas will hit us pretty fast this year. Now if I remember correctly, Logos always seems to do some super special sales come Christmas time (I specifically remember buying the "Commentary on the NT use of OT" last year for a great price) .

Believing that those who have control over which resources get their prices slashed can read this thread. I am hoping our suggestions on which resources we would like to see on sale become a reality.

I would personally like to see these resources be available on one of the 12 Days of Logos:

"Commentary on the NT use of OT" last year for a great price)

I was in the process of gathering my pennies to upgrade from L3 to L4 and missed this sale. I would like to see it offered again (at the same price

David Paul

Since most of the stuff in the OP list are in Portfolio, I'd rather see a few things (at least some) that AREN'T in Portfolio.

Since my early present to myself was an iPad on Saturday, I'll be looking for items that are formatted for my new device. :-)

Congrats and enjoy! I recently got the new Ipod Touch. It was advance payment for assistant coaching for my wife and her 6-8th grade girls basketball team...

probably should have gone higher :-)

Kaye Anderson

Philip, I really wanted the Touch because it would travel lighter but my eyes are terrible so I opted for the big brother. I learned from buying the smaller Kindle right before the larger model came out! I'm just too old for tiny screens now. [8-|]

Now what I would like to see is the "Library Builders" that they offered the 2 or 3 years before L4 came out. These were fantastic deals. For around $400 Logos put about 100 items on 3 CD's. These items were a good mix of mid-level commentaries and various pastoral helps. They were exactly as described - building your library. As I recalled they tried to put items together that were not part of most of the base packages. When I asked why they did not continue doing it, the sales people said that they did not have enough new products to warrent this great deal for the next year.

However, since it has been a few years and Logos has ramped up the speed at which they convert pre-pubs to pubs, I think they should bring this back. There are so many different books that they could get together that are not part of any package (including portfolio), that it would make most everyone happy.

Back on topic....

Here's my list:

Jerry M

An excellent wish list! ( Thomas, you have 13 and there are only 12 days:-)

Donnie Hale

Great question! The main resource I'm interested in at present is:

http://www.logos.com/product/3582/theological-journal-library-volumes-1-10

Of course, if I had a "wish list", I'd have a lot more resources I could quickly refer to and add to this thread.

Donnie

TCBlack

... Thomas, you have 13 and there are only 12 days:-)

Math has always been a thorn in my side. It's a regular joke that I'm so bad at Math I won't even preach out of the book of Numbers. [:p]

So I'll leave it to you Jerry, which one would YOU take away?

Ben

Some of the new Zondervan stuff, since it appears no packages (other than the Everything+Kitchen Sink) will ever appear.

Jerry M

So I'll leave it to you Jerry, which one would YOU take away?

I would take away Pannenberg on the condition we upgrade to Portfolio where it is included!

On the first day of Christmas I would like to see the Church of God Digital Library for devotional reading on the tablet I haven't got yet. ? ? Church of God Digital Library - Logos Bible Software

David Bailey

I am waiting for the IVP Essential References 3.0 to go on the December Sale list. I'm also hoping Logos will put IVP Dictionary of the Old Testament bundle on the list.

Epic, simply epic.

Clifford B. Kvidahl

I would save up all 12 of my days and cash it in at the end for the ICC at $300.

Josh

There seems to be no consensus, not even on one resource. I noticed someone else suggested the AYD. I hope at the very least this is one of the Christmas specials.

Linden

I second this request!

Thanks!!!! Don't know why I missed it....

Jeffrey Lacine

If one of these were on super-sale, I would buy it:

Gottingen Septuagint

Stuttgart
Electronic Study Bible (SESB), Version 3.0 (52 vols.)

The Complete Spurgeon Sermon
Collection

John Piper Collection

Theological Journal Library,
Volumes 1-10

Rev. Wayne Paul Barrett

I will probably buy something during the sale, but how about a discount on all existing pre-pubs that one has in their cue, say ten or twenty percent off. That would be a great Christmas gift!

Matthew C Jones

I am hoping our suggestions on which resources we would like to see on sale become a reality.

I like to dream BIG. How about 50%n 0ff these collections?

D. A. Carson Collection (5 vols)

The Works of John Owen (17 vols.) (I got Owen on Hebrews.)

Baker Hermeneutics Collection (14 vols.)

Sheffield/T & T Clark Bible Guides Collection (44 vols.)

International Critical Commentary (53 vols.)

I doubt these CD based products would go on sale but here's hoping!
WallBuilders American Foundations Digital Library
The Ultimate Archaeology Collection

And let's go for the whole collections this time. In last year's sale I passed on a lot of individual titles because I wanted the whole collection and would not save by buying some twice.

ICC Romans Commentary
Theological Journal Bundle

ton verdam

Thank you for the mother and airplane analogies...

I now have some strong arguments to convince my wife that I really need something like the Anchor Yale for Chrismas... So I put my vote on that and also some ANET materials... [:D]

I do however see Jesus DOING and TEACHING. The disciples DID first and Jesus taught them afterwards.. it is called training-on-the-job... so start moving [8o|]

Ralph A. Abernethy III

The ICC Romans Commentary would be most welcome!

Steve Adams

Please Please PLEEEEEZZZZZZZZZ with sugar on top.

i'll take just about any commentary on Romans. I've made it a practice to read through it (the Epistle, not the commentaries)each month since the early 90's and my dissertation will be on Rom 1:16-17 and JBFA. [:D]

nancy

P.S. my b'day is 12/31 so you can also put it up on sale after Christmas. [^]

Timothy Ha

I'd be happy to see a kind of a merged and discounted collection of everything from Martyn Lloyd-Jones (next year is 20 years since 1981), especially now that his final volumes on Acts are out. I have them through Pre-pub, but I haven't purchased "Ephesians" and "Selected Works" yet.

Thanks.

Mark Smith

next year is 20 years since 1981

Timothy, you missed a decade! [+o(]

That anniversary happened 9 years ago. Anyway it might make a fitting 30th anniversary package.

DAL

Alright, here's what I would like -- I'm day dreaming here, so bare with me...hehehe:

1. College Press NIV 4 volume upgrade for $40 bucks...that way I can complete the OT set. I already own the NT set.

2. Lenski for $100 or $150.

3. John G. Butler's all volumes for $100.

4. Inductive Bible Study with Logos Bible Software for $10.

5. Handbook for Bible Study by Osborne and Woodward for $7.

6. The Bible Speaks Today New Testament (22Vols.) for $40....AND...

7. Zondervan Illustrated Bible Background Commentary OT & NT both for $100 or $125. That would be awesome!!!

And as a bonus Lange's commentary all 63 volumes for $100 bucks!

Jeremy

I think Logos should have a free for all. For 10 minutes during the 12 Days of Logos the Logos store should allow you to buy anything you want for free. You wouldn't know when the 10 minutes would begin so you would have to be on your toes.

Matthew C Jones

I think Logos should have a free for all. For 10 minutes during the 12 Days of Logos the Logos store should allow you to buy anything you want for free. You wouldn't know when the 10 minutes would begin so you would have to be on your toes.

Now this is almost obscene. Do you know how much I could buy in 10 minutes? I am one of those obsessed souls who refreshes the screen while I am refreshing the screen. I could probably get $5K a minute. And if Logos doubts that, I'd like to prove I can.

On second thought: It would only bring the servers to a huge crashing halt. When Am@zon,com introduced the Wii for $99 the screen refreshes crashed their servers.

Merry Christmas!

Wow, that is Christmas dreaming! Visions of sugarplums? Nonsense, a Logos free-for-all. [:O]

I think we can safely put this one under 'ideas that won't see the light of day.' [;)]

Jeremy

Well you can't say I didn't try [:)]

Jim VanSchoonhoven

I don't think anyone would deny that Jeremy has a great wish list, some people know how to really dream big!

I have both Lenski and Lange in different formats, I think it is about time Logos lowers the price on these sets, at least one of them is a public domain set that would be very helpful to most people. At the current prices these set cost more that copyrighted sets like Tyndale and Expositor's.

Let's see them come down in price and stay down.

In Christ,

Jim

Praiser

Well since we are dreaming...how about a Logos credit on new resources that is equal to 10% or 15% of our previous 12 months of purchases directly from Logos??? Those who spent big would have bigger credits. Put a time limit on the use of the credit. I know I already have a large wishlist that wouldn't be difficult to pick from. Or give us the credit to use for up to 75% off the purchase price of resources (meaning here that if we decided on some resources, we would still have to cover at least 25% or more of the sale price and use our credit toward the remaining 75%). This might even be something Logos could do without going broke, but it might make their sales department and phone lines get swamped!

Now that would be a very merry Christmas for me![:D]

I will appreciate whatever Logos decides to do...they have really given us some great resources at prices that I have appreciated...especially through PrePubs!

Thank you Logos!

Dot

Ariel Ministries Messianic Collection would be a wonderful addition to Logos.

Adam Lambert

I would love to see more on spiritual warfare by authors such as Neil Anderson and Timothy Wanrer as well as Eddie and Alice Smith.

Well, the first thing I'd do would be to upgrade to Portfolio followed by quick purchases of NICOT/NICNT, ICC, Hermeneia, Anchor Yale, Barth's Dogmatics, Calvin 500, and the Göttingen Septuagint.

There should be an "every resource Logo's offers" bundle. This would make my shopping spree much easier.
