Lifeway Reader and Logos

Michael Kelly

I am trying to figure out how to view my Lifeway Reader resources within Logos. I'm not sure if this has been discussed already or even possible. However, with the return of Lifeway Reader, and the divesture of Wordsearch, is there a way to load my Lifeway Reader resources into Logos?

I bought something on lifeway.com. Why can’t I see it in my Logos library?

Only Wordsearch content has been migrated to Logos. LifeWay products you purchased are still available to you through read.lifeway.com.

Not knowing anything about "Lifeway Reader," but based on SineNomine's post... I assume the answer is "no." The only reason "wordsearch" titles are availble in Logos is that FL purchased the business. It appears that Lifeway is now selling resources with a no frills eBook service.

There was a lot of overlap between Wordsearch resources and Lifeway Reader. An advantage of Lifeway Reader is that teachers of Southern Baptist SS Curriculum can be granted temporarily access to resources for the current quarter if the local church purchased the right license.

The reader is VERY basic (like the original Logos App in the Windows store) but can be helpful to those without a vast Faithlife Library. I don't know if the economics make sense, but a partnership between Curriculum publishers and temporary licenses in Faithlife could meet the need that Lifeway Reader is serving.

My WordSearch resources had a lot of overlap with my Lifeway Reader resources: e.g. https://www.logos.com/product/7290/holman-illustrated-bible-dictionary came into my Logos Library via my WordSearch account when it was merged.

All I can say is to search your Library for resources that may already have migrated to Faithlife. Or search the Logos website for available titles--it may mean a second purchase, but having it within the Logos system may be worth the additional investment.
