Is the counseling guide any good?
I just invested in Logos 10 Anglican Silver.
One of the reasons was to gain acces to the counseling guide. Playing around with it, I am at this point especially disappionted that on a topic like marriage it pulls only 2 books from my 10.000+ library.
To what extent are books actually tagged to show up in this guide?

I also found the counseling guide sadly lacking in functionality, though this in part might be a result of a lack of resources on my end. However, I've got a Silver package myself and expected more given the price of those packages. May I suggest checking out these two forum posts, I found the discussions there helpful in getting more out of the counseling guide than I was able to initially.

The Counseling Guide is a great idea and I have used it some, but you either know the material or you don't. The guide doesn't fill that gap. Having plenty of resources helps get good results, but if you are a counselor, you don't really need tons of resources. Maybe just a few. That is my experience.
Having said that, I have 568 resources including journals that I have tagged for my counseling reference collection. That is way, way too many, but I am glad for them all.
I bet that didn't help much.0 -
Thanks for your replies!
I am interested in how you made your own collection for the counseling guide. How does this work? Because it is still without the relevant tagging to show up at te right term right?

The counseling guide feature seems to be fairly new to Logos.... (correct me if I'm wrong)... and like many things, once a new feature is added, you can expect FL to make improvements over time. I remember when Factbook was new. It was nothing at first compared to the fantastic tool it is now.

It was introduced in Logos 9 - so just over three years ago as per https://community.logos.com/forums/t/194964.aspx

Ironically, I have had acces to this feature when it came out in L9 (through Logos Now). I have cancelled that subscription and I have not bought the feature, because I was underwelmed.
I hoped that it had now (3 years later) fleshed out! But not so much it seems...

Sorry, to reopen this old post, but I have been looking around if the Counseling guide by now has had some upgrades? Do I have to subscribe to 10 to get those or are the also included in the current guide?
There seems to be a increase in hits...

I can't comment specifically on the guide, more books may be tagged to work with it now than when you last looked at it. There is a new Counseling Guide Feature Expansion Collection that will add additional resources to your library that are tagged to work with it.
