From Heaven He Came and Sought Her
Thank you! Wow! Normally $35 but on sale for $3! Crazy!
Thanks! Hopefully we can get this in Logos eventually (hopefully it'll be less than $50). Glad to have it now.
Just got it.
Thanks.
mm.
Thanks for pointing this great resource out.
It would be great to have this in Logos as well
Got it on dead tree and now kindle and would buy it in Logos as well. Thanks.
Got it. Thanks! [Y]
Got it, thanks Xegesis. Would you be willing to forward the pbb to those of us who purchased it?
Good question Everett.
Has this deal ended? I'm seeing $21.85 when I use the above link!
Has this deal ended?
I'm still seeing $3.99, Paul.
It might be because this is a US only promotion? My kindle account is based in the UK. When I click on the above link to the US site (and am not logged into the US site) it's showing me the higher price.

Same price in Canadian dollars on amazon.ca for those with accounts in Canada.

I would definitely buy this if it were in Logos. Kindle, not so much. I buy theological books in Kindle if they are topics I'm actively researching and Logos doesn't have the book I need. But if it's just "this is a great deal and it might be useful someday" I don't want to build up a large Kindle library like I do for Logos, because there is no cross-resource searching capability. So, alas, I'm going to less this pass me by. Ditto for the free Demonology book that Fasil posted about in another thread. Pity. Life's too short to be accumulating everything that comes across my path that's free.
David, thank you for posting those helpful links.
I would echo Rosie's comment: would be great to get this in Logos. It is the type of book Logos was built for. Relatively speaking, the Kindle edition is worth about what it is currently selling for (and yes I did buy it as it is not (yet) available from Logos, and $3.99 Canadan is ok with me for a Kindle version. I too have no intention of building up a large Kindle Library. (I have spent more today on Logos CPs than my lifetime total on Kindle).
I'm waiting for Logos too. But this definitely looks interesting.
Great find! I purchased one for myself and 4 gifts.

I bought this in hard copy even before it came out so had to jump on this edition. Thanks for the heads-up! Should be useful to carry around in ebook format.

If anyone would be willing to help me with this as a pbb, let me know via faithlife.
Finally on Pre-Pub...

I'm thrilled this is in prepub. It's the only book I have suggested that's ever been picked up by Logos. I am in. Hope others see its value and jump on it too.
This is pretty close to half way now! Hoping to get some more light on it to get it over soon.
Looks like its at 66%!!! Need some more to help push it over the edge!
Great news that this is finally available on pre-order.

Help us out. This is a great reference book. I have the hard copy and Kindle. Would love to have it in Logos.
Looks like just about 9% left to get this thing over the top!
Look at what J.I. Packer says about this work:
“A massive product of exact and well-informed scholarship . . . with landmark significance. . . . I give this book top marks for its range of solid scholarship, cogency of argument, warmth of style, and zeal for the true glory of God. I recommend it most highly.”
What do you know about Limited Atonement:
“Limited Atonement” is the middle letter in TULIP, but as author and pastor Douglas Wilson explains, that name might give the wrong impression. “The problem with ‘limited atonement’ is that it makes everybody think ‘tiny atonement.’” And, of course, no good Christian wants to cast the cross-work of Christ as diminutive.
The better term, says Wilson, with a growing number of voices, is “Definite Atonement.” Same doctrine, better name. This way of putting it emphasizes the extent of Jesus’s accomplishment, rather than its restrictions.
Just a little bit more to go. Help us get this definitive work in Logos.
Are we really able to import Kindle books (or other purchased e-books into Logos via Personal Books?
Thanks so much for your prompt reply. I fully understand about the need to ensure local laws are complied with. I am in Canada.
This means then, I assume, that the PDFs and other e-Books I have downloaded from places that make public domain classic titles available (e.g. Project Gutenburg, Internet Archives, Christian Classics Ethereal Library) can be imported to Logos through Personal Books.
Am I correct?
Absolutely! You need to convert the file into a .docx file to allow Logos to incorporate it as a Personal Book - and it will likely need some editing to get the format you want. You can find out more information on the process here:
https://wiki.logos.com/Personal_Books
You could always head to the files forum, download a PB file someone else has created and shared, to practice building it as a Personal Book in Logos:

My suggestion David is to not worry about it on this particular book and just put your prepub bid in.
I already have it in print. I absolutely love my Logos 6, but I still like to read some books the "old" way - and this is one of them.
I was just interested in learning that I could actually import some old classics I've downloaded over the years. I know what I'm doing for the next few weeks!
Thanks so much for you help.
Looks like we ares less than 5% away!
Good Monday Monrning to Everyone! I woke up to 4" of snow and the doors on my truck frozen shut. But...
There is still just a little bit more to go to get this work over the edge. It looks like maybe 4% left to go. Help us get this great work into Logos!
I woke up to 4" of snow and the doors on my truck frozen shut.
Where do you live Everett? I'm from Ontario Canada where we have already had some snow but currently enjoying some vacation time in Florida. [ip]
Hope that doesn't sound like I'm rubbing it in. [H]
Missoula, Montana! (I believe this is the last place God made, after he was done practicing on everywhere else. Perfection.)
I've been through Montana but never to Missoula but I did just take a look at some photographs. Very nice! Also checked out your snowfall rate -
Come on guys, just a ittle more to go!
I don't know if some of you canceled your order or if Logos adjusted it, but looks like we fell back a point or two.
Just a few more and we can put this over the top!
[Y] You Can Do It !!! [Y]
