Book Suggestions

Here's just a list of book suggestions for Logos/Vyrso. These in Logos format would essentially eliminate my need for a print library. :-)

I could also send the printed texts to the more obscure books if Logos was able to secure a license to them and needed the printed texts.

Dowley Bible Atlas

Holman QuickSource Bible Atlas

Word Biblical Themes

NIV Study Bible

NIV Handy Concordance

Hillyer Bible Dictionary

Student Bible Dictionary

Key Word Study Bible

Life Application Study Bible

Find it Fast in the Bible (Rhodes)

Gower Manners/Customs (Is this already available?)

Nelson Illustrated Bible Handbook

Zondervan Handbook to the Bible (I don't agree with it all, just use it for reference)

Zondervan NIV Exhaustive Concordance

Then and Now Bible Maps

Would be good for Community Pricing:

New English Bible NT

Simple English NT

Old Testament Quotations in the New Testament (Bratcher)

One Vol Bible Commentary (Dummelow)

Would be good for Community Pricing or even PBB!

Would be good for Vyrso:

Surviving in an Angry World (Stanley)

Power of the Gospel (Stanley)

Blessings of Brokenness (Stanley)

Turning the Tide (Stanley)

I'd also like to see the Rainbow Study Bible made as a highlight visual filter I could turn on/off in Logos. That would be a neat way to employ this concept.

It'd also be great to get with Tyndale and see if they'd be willing to merge the media content of iLumina into Logos. iLumina has such rich media content, but the engine is hopelessly outdated to the point I can't run it anymore. The content would go great in Biblical People, Places, Things.

I'd love to see Biblesoft's Spiritual Growth Series transitioned to Logos/Vyrso as well, if In Touch would pull it off. It's the only reason I used to run PCSB on my computer, and again, the engine is hopelessly out of date. Getting it under Logos would be great if possible.

It'd also be nice to be able to search Vyrso from Logos.com. I can see where Vyrso users wouldn't want Logos.com results included in their results, and even to one extent vice versa, but it'd be nice to tick a checkbox at Logos.com and get the best of both worlds from time to time.

Thanks for listening!

Seriously? Readers Digest? Have you seen the Charles Stanley Lifeworks Library? You don't need concordances with electronic bible software.

I wish Logos would offer the add-on titles to the Charles Stanley Lifeworks Collection. I much prefer to buy directly from Logos.com to preserve the ease of future downloads. If I add them on from the Nelson website they will not be in my order page with download links.

I also wish the other author add-ons were sold in a "complete your collection" pricing rather than retail piecemeal (i.e. Jimmy Swaggart add-on commentaries.)

addendum: The prolific writers like Stanley, Piper, and MacArthur will keep churning out quality books that I will invariably want to add to my Logos (or Vyrso?) libraries. A subscription to authors future works would be nice. That way we can read them as they are published rather than wait on "upgrade collections."

added-addendum: Off-topic early warning: Start saving for another Zondervan Bundle release after New Year's Day. I am not privy to any inside information but that seems to be the way big Z likes to market. [;)]

I think if you call Logos, you can order the Stanley titles from them. I was able to unlock all the study guides from LifeWorks.

Yeah, only Nelson offered the Complete Your Collection pricing once in L3. Probably not there in L4.

Per subscriptions, that or Vyrso will probably offer them a la carte when need be. At cheap cheap pricing.

Thanks for the info. I never thought to ask Dave Kaplan about that.

I really wish there could be upgrade pricing on the Nelson 501 Book Unlock (501 vols.) that takes into consideration all the titles one has already purchased. Even at the lowest sale pricing, I can fill out the collection at individual retail prices. I have, unfortunately, purchased many of the high dollar portions of the 501 books. Stuff like WBC, Preacher's Commentary, McGee, MacArthur, and so on. I had a similar experience with the 2010 Christmas Master Collection. I had lots of duplicates with no "upgrade" credit. I had to re-focus on what a great deal it was to get the 1200 books I did not have rather than dwell on the 800 I did. I am very glad I did. [8] [8]

But I do start to wonder if it is better to wait on the giant collections rather than buy as they are released from Pre-Pub.

There's some good maps/graphics in the tools I have from them (RD). I don't utilize the print content much, but the maps/graphics would be good for Biblical Places/Things.

I have Stanley LifeWorks, plus both of his LLS Collections, plus a couple titles I just got on Vyrso. Great start but I want more. :-) Would like to convert all my print titles with him to searchable titles in Logos, plus probably get an iPad and start buying eBooks from Logos for reading.

There's some dictionaries in the concordance titles I'm referring to. I don't necessarily need the concordances since Logos has a great search engine, but the lexicon/dictionary parts would be nice to have searchable.

Are there Charles Stanley titles unique to the LLS Collections? I thought they were all repeated in the two Libronix Lifeworks Collections.

(Stanley is one of my top 5 favorites.)

I'd go for the Hardy Boys series in Vyrso. Add George MacDonald, G.A Henty, Tolstoy, and collected works from all the great authors from Poe to Fitzgerald, Austen to Zig-Ziglar. Homeschoolers would love it. (Did I really say "Ziglar?" [:$])

I believe they were all upgraded in Lifeworks. You could at least unlock them I believe. That's how long I've been buying Stanley's stuff that I even used them on LLS. He was my first LLS collection. I didn't use LLS too much (since I didn't really get electronic books way back when), but they sure became handy in Libronix when I moved over, and of course L4.

Homeschoolers would really benefit from Vyrso. Affordable resources that are interactive. I used A Beka homeschool when I was in school. It'd be neat if A Beka, BJUP, etc., added their readers in Vyrso as well. Being able to go back and search and reference many of my K-12 readers in Logos would be fun. Plus as A Beka keeps moving to online video streaming, publishing many of their tools in electronic format would just be another step forward.
