I need your help to consider to buy how useful it is.
I have found out that it is on prepub.
Here is the link to the resources Tes is referring to http://www.logos.com/product/8098/tyndale-bible-study-collection
It all depends on your theological perspective. I personally would stay away from anything by Jerry Jenkins and Tim LaHaye (authors of the -- in my view -- very misleading Left Behind series). Also not too interested in anything "scientific" about the Bible by Henry "6 literal days of creation" Morris.
How to Study the Bible and Enjoy It looks like too much of a beginner book for me.
Life Application New Testament Commentary is redundant if you've got the Life Application Bible Commentary series (which I do), since it's just a compressed volume of the entire NT in that series, whereas the individual volumes will give you much more detail.
As far as I'm concerned The Origin of the Bible looks like the only valuable book in the set. It's got a bunch of respected authors (Harold O. J. Brown, F. F. Bruce, Carl F. H. Henry, J. I. Packer, Leland Ryken). So I'm personally just going to wait until this bundle gets split up and buy only that book.
But like I said, your theological perspective might be different.
Left Behind series
What? What? What?
Thank you Ted and Rosie, I would like to stay away as well more than as far as America to Germany.I simply have seen the heading and thought the best suggestion I could get was in the forum, and well done.

Thankfully can agree to disagree. Also appreciate having a library with variety of view points.
Noticed Amazon has hard copy => http://www.amazon.com/Revelation-Record-Scientific-Devotional-Commentary/dp/0842355111
Noticed many more pre-orders are needed to change pre-publication status from "Gathering Interest" so have no idea if (when) this collection could ship.
Keep Smiling [:)]
Thanks for helping me as well.

Out of interest, how can a novel be misleading?

First, "It must be remembered that novels like this are fiction, not future historical narrative. Yet most conservative Christians are not used to reading religious fiction. Therefore, such novels are read as future history rather than as the imaginary literature that they are." [John R. Yeatts, Revelation, Believers Church Bible Commentary (Scottdale, Pa.: Herald Press, 2003), 179.]
Even if the audience understands that it's fiction not historical future narrative, novels can communicate more than just the fiction of the story. There's often/usually some sort of underlying message or worldview. You can find plenty of critiques of the theology portrayed in the Left Behind series in Logos resources, e.g. logosres:sc-bsbr1804;art=bsbr184.1; logosres:noordangl;ref=Page.p_106;off=2468; logosres:sc-bsbr1704;art=bsbr174.6. However I realize that a large number of Logos users would probably take a different viewpoint, and I respect their right to disagree. I just happen to think they are misled. I won't go into specifics, as there are plenty of other places to read about it, and we'd best not let this devolve into a theological discussion. Sorry for even leaning in that direction. If you want to ask me more about this offline, post a comment on my profile.
I've certainly read my share of didactic novels starting as a kid reading Dad's Horatio Algers[:D]
Seriously, it depends on the type of novel ... think of the reaction to the De Vinci Code - I was amazed at the uproar caused by people reading it as true. Why didn'tGospel : A Novel by Wilton Barnhardt. I suspect it was that as an obscure-ish work it was read by people who read it as fiction.
