I was reading through Charles Stanley's Handbook for Christian Living tonight. I noticed it has some concise yet useful articles on various counseling topics, but it doesn't appear in the Counseling Guide yet. This might be a good one to add to the Counseling Guide as another resource.

    Agreed!

    Here's my succinct Amazon review (from 2015) of Dr. Stanley's Handbook for Christian Living:

    " A handy Christian primer that is biblical, concise, and eminently useful

    Dr. Stanley has long been one of the greatest Christian influences in my life. His Handbook for Christian Living is a delightful, informative, and highly accessible reference work filled with scriptural wisdom, practical spiritual and ethical advice, and doctrinal truth on a variety of significant subjects. I particularly enjoy the insightful quotations interspersed throughout the book from Bible scholars, theologians, apologists, and early church fathers. This should be in the library of every Christ follower, as well as anyone who is sincerely interested in learning more about biblical Christianity.

    It seems a little strange that an Accordance employee is requesting Logos to develop a resource.

    Nathan has been part of the Logos community for many years. Why should his employment change that?

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Because Accordance is a direct competitor. And because he works with the developers who create Accordance modules. And because he's learning to develop modules himself.

    The resource is already developed/available in Logos. I'm not suggesting Logos develop the resource. I already own it, and I owned it for years before my current job.

    What I am suggesting is that Logos tags the existing resource so that it can appear in the Counseling Guide. There is a wealth of counseling-type material in there that would make for useful entries in the Counseling Guide.

    I wish these comments would stop. This has 0 relevance to Nathan's reasonable request. If you feel you need to offer complaints related to Nathan's Accordance employment, can you please keep that to the Accordance forums?

    Sorry Nathan. I misunderstood your request.
