the fork in the road

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Logos and Verum seem to be diverging. Consider that the shopping cart on logos.com is not the same as on verbum.com . What I infer here, is that if I search Logos.com for a book, and do not find it, I then have to search verbum.com to see if it is there. They seem to be two completely different stores.

Shouldnt you have one database of products and one cart?

Is this fork intentional?

Can you give some examples

As far as I was aware - and the last I checked - books should be available on both platforms.

But I could be wrong!

Will gather some this evening. Any idea on why they have seperate carts as well?

Thanks!

There is a group of Protestants who created an uproar when Logos tried to implement a choice of canon; there is a group of Catholics who are just as determined that their tools not be contaminated by Protestants. Making the split between Logos and Verbum allows the appearance of non-contamination while allowing Logos as a company to serve both communities.

is an mild example of this pressure. I can't provide an example of the pressure in the opposite side but it exists. This is where I normally would use an Irish term of affectionate negative evaluation, but I have learned my lesson.

Ability to link to other documents from Sermon Builder
I often find myself needing to link to items with Logos in my sermon, but don't necessarily want to paste content from that document. For instance, I will create a Canvas doc that inserts at a particular place in my document. I'd like to insert a link to that resource that I can click on. Thank you for this consideration.
Sermon Editor Request
I would find it very helpful if the sermon builder had a style dropdown entitled "application" in the similar manner that it has for "illustration" and "prompt". It just helps me visually flag content in my sermon manuscript in that category.
iPad sync highlights
To me it is a major downside of using Logos on iPad that my highlights are not synced across my different bibles. If I do a highlight in ESV, I can't get it to show up in my Greek bible, etc. iPads these days are more than powerful enough to handle a feature like this. Please enable it for iPads! It's one of the biggest…
Sermon Builder: Show Word Count and Time Estimate for Selected Text
I do my whole order of service in a single sermon so that I don't have to switch between sermon documents. Because of that, the word count and time estimate at the bottom of the sermon document includes psalm introductions, Bible readings, and other things. It would be nice if there was a word count and time estimate for…
Filter Word Lists By Reference
eFor context, see the thread here: As I read through the Bible in Greek, I would like to prepare to read a chapter by reviewing the rare words in that chapter before I read it. I would like a list of the words in that chapter, sorted by frequency in the entire New Testament. Unfortunately, there is no way to do that…
