Money in My Pocket

Today I received $150 book credit with Logos!  WOW!

It came about when I helped host a Logos 4 demonstration to a local pastor's group: http://community.logos.com/forums/t/29450.aspx

The allowance is burning a hole and my pocket and I'm like a kid in a candy store.  I'd love some feedback about how to use this windfall.  I have Scholar's Library 4 (KF) and have already added these series over the years:

  • New American Commentary
  • Word Biblical Commentary
  • Keil & Delitzsch
  • Pulpit Commentary
  • McArthur New Testament Commentary

I'm wondering if I can/should use the credit to upgrade to Silver, but I've already purchased some of the better titles in that collection. My principle interests are commentaries (conservative, evangelical) and encyclopedia/dictionaries. I am a pastor with an M.Div., out of school about 25 years. I preach three sermons a week so exegesis  and exposition are major responsibilities.

Suggestions?

    Talk to a sales rep - there is some adjustment made based on what you currently own.

    I would recommend upgrading your base pkg.

    Dave Kaplan can help you with that.

    Hi Steve,

    I would highly recomend that you purchase the older versions of the New International Commentary, which have been unbundled recently. They are all on the NT so far.

    Blessings.

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm going to upgrade to from Scholar to Silver. It looks like the biggest bang for my buck.

    BTW, if there are sales reps in our area who can come to your community, this is a great way to grow your library. Look for ministerial associations, Bible study groups, etc. Your work as host is minimal, and $150 book credit, plus a modest discount when you order though the rep, is a sweet deal.

    You can't go wrong upgrading to a better Scholar package. You might even consider going up another notch to Gold/Platinum even if it takes some payments. I'm still delirious in leaping to Platinum.
