Jerry Vines, Jim Shaddix, and R. Albert Mohler Jr., Progress in the Pulpit: How to Grow in Your Prea

Songo Ambie-Barango

I bought above book as part of my library and it is for academic purposes. However, there are no page numbers in the book, and so citing/referencing it in footnotes is a challenge. Kindly review and update if possible with page numbers.

Thanks

Hi Songo:

Faithlife sells a number of different editions of books.

1. 'Logos Research' editions are the fully (or near-fully) tagged editions with the features most of us are accustomed to. They are suitable for academic use.
2. 'Logos Reader' editions (a fairly recent development) are somewhat less-fully tagged, but have the virtue of (generally) being released by Faithlife quickly after the print publication. I don't have much experience with these editions.
3. 'Ebook' editions have only minimal Logos functionality. They will generally have the Bible cites tagged for popup, might have some Table of Contents functionality, and I think some might have functional footnotes, but I don't think they ever have page numbers. They are produced by an automated process and I don't think a great deal of quality control is exerted. They have the virtue of being low-priced and sometimes subject to publishers' even lower-priced sales.

The book in question is a Faithlife Ebook.

You can filter your Library by the Facet 'Edition' and see which ones you have currently, and review a few to see what I'm referring to.

I bought above book as part of my library and it is for academic purposes. However, there are no page numbers in the book, and so citing/referencing it in footnotes is a challenge.

Since this is for academic purposes (I assume a course you are taking at present), there is little hope for page numbers to be added soon. In most cases, the process would be this: 1) Faithlife desires to create a Logos edition of the resource and gains permission from the publisher; 2) Faithlife puts the resource up on pre-pub on Logos and removes the resource from the FLEB store; 3) enough interest is shown and the resource goes into production; 4) the resource is released in Logos. 

The good news is that since you have the resource already, if that happens you would receive an updated copy gratis. The bad news is that process is not quick, and often takes a year or more. There have been some surprises, but few. 

My suggestion for you in the present is to ask your instructor how s(he) would like you to cite the source without page numbers. Conversely, you could use a google search to see if you can find the page numbers when needed for specific passages. You may have luck with google books.
