Daily Doctrine by Kevin DeYoung should be formatted as a yearly devotional?

Daily Doctrine: A One-Year Guide to Systematic Theology | Logos Bible Software

I was expecting "Daily doctrine: A one-year guide" to be formatted as a daily, one-year devotional. I can't even figure out how to make my own reading plan; it either breaks it up into month-long sessions, or it wants to break it up by page, rather than the "Day One", "Day Two" divisions.

    A previous request was made here, and here is a reading plan.

    Thank you! Thankfully, with all the room for improvement in Logos, much can be done with a little effort.

    Are you sure you are asking for the right thing. You are asking that dates replace the actual text of the book. Wouldn't it be better to have the reading plan function able to handle the day 1, day 2 style of resource for all books starting on any date you want?

    FYI: If you read the introduction you’ll see that the book is not intended to be a daily devotional, but rather a weekly devotional composed of 5 readings per week. He says the book can be read in different ways. Maybe that’s why you don’t see it formatted for January 1, 2, 3, etc.

    I see this resource has been changed to a calendar devotional, but it is not working. Wondering if this is a bug.

    I think what we want is to be able to generate a reading plan using Logos without having to make it ourselves that has more than 11 reading sessions. Even if I go in and change it to read it every day or only on weekdays, the reading plan is 11 days long. The only way to make it sensible in the way the book is structured is to manually create a reading plan day by day.

    the format has been changed to a calendar devotional, but on my side it seems like a bug. It just opens to the first page. Can someone else confirm who has it if they are having the same issue.

    The book looking at the preview is not structures as a calendar devotional. Do you mean that the library metadata has been changed to type calendar devotional despite it not meeting the requirements to function as one? It simply has numbered days - day 71 is in the preview - but no dates.

    I'll admit this is a bit confusing:

    Wasn't aware this book was available on Logos, thanks!

    This should be reported as an error/bug. OR they can implement the request to expand to allow numbered days.

    It has now been removed, and back to monograph, devotional.
