It was called Serendipity CD. I'm not sure about the rest of it. I made the mistake of loaning to a pastor and didn't get ti back.

Me too! Did anyone ever reply to you??

I would also be prepared to pay to have these questions as either a Logos Personal Book with milestones, or a fully published (Zondervan/Logos) resource.
Very useful, and glad I still have a hard copy in my bookshelf. But it would be fantastic to have it electronically link to my logos Bibles.

Add me to the list of interested parties in purchasing it on Logos should Logos ever get there.

Hello Don,
I have not followed this thread faithfully but I am always using Serendipity questions for all my studies. Has there been any movement about getting your scanned questions past the copyright hurdle out to the rest of us? I'd be happy to buy a copy from you, when that happens. Thank you, brother.

I bought a used hard copy of the NIV on ebay? Some of the questions are silly imho but a few could generate meaningful conversation. I wish they had a leaders guide as occasionally the ask a question but offer no answer. (answer does not seem obvious either).

Don,
Did you ever get this question resolved?
I work with a non-profit developing Discipleship materials for Unreached Peoples. We would like to be able to use some of the discussion questions as we develop material.
Pleas let me know if there is any hope here.
Thanks,
Wayne Ramsey

I stumbled on a similar product at Amazon. The paper version is (for me) over priced, but the Kindle version is underpriced:

For those looking for an electronic copy of the Serendipity Bible, the Internet Archive now has a copy of the entire Bible with questions (previously, they only had the NT). It can be found at:
https://archive.org/details/nivserendipitybi00newi_0
You can borrow the book as very large and readable PDF; or as a smaller file size, but hardly usable, ePub version. The PDF are image files, making them very readable:
The one advantage of the ePub version is that the files are text files from which small parts can be easily copied and pasted when they are located.
Be aware that a single person can use the file at a time and they are protected with DRM - so get the details you need for a series of Bible Study when you have access to the book - you do not know when it will be available again. There is a wait list and you will be notified when the book becomes available to you.
I still would prefer to have this book available in LOGOS but so far no move has been made in that direction.

I've suggested it over on Logos' book suggestion site: https://suggestbooks.uservoice.com/forums/308269-book-suggestions/suggestions/36857572-csb-life-connections-study-bible-an-update-to-th
You can upvote it over there and hopefully we can get that one in Logos!

I noticed that is being released by Holman Bible Publishers. I just hope they keep the NIV translation and do not switch to the Holman translation.

Sorry to disappoint - it says is being released with the CSB, though I am flexible enough I can adapt.

But maybe it works like other Studybibles, like Faithlife Studybible, that you can just choose your favorite translation.

This is good - but it is not the Serendipity Study Bible in that it is a series of individsual Bible studies, not studies of every passage of scripture.
I would still like to see the original Serendipity Study Bible come to LOGOS.

I have a printed copy and it's the same format as the Serendipity Bible, with updated questions. I'm definitely getting the Logos version!

What it is missing is the paragraph-by-paragraph questions printed in the margins of the Serendipity Study Bible. It has questions focused on the individual chapters of each book. I would guess that there are only 1/4 to 1/3 of the number of questions found in the earlier book. Here are examples of the questions from Philippians 3 - my current study passage:

When I click on the see inside button, I don't even see any question at all, only notes. So I am wondering if this is the same version as shown above.

Here are most of the notes for Chapter 3 from The CSB Life Connections Study Bible. Note, again, no questions other than those at the beginning of the chapter:

I was able to find two pages that aligned in the Logos preview and Amazon's preview of the paperback version on a section that does not just include chapter questions. This is looking at Genesis 31. The paperback version has a question in the margin on verse 17-21 but I don't see this anywhere in the Logos preview.
I wonder if we can get anyone from Logos to confirm if this is just the notes from the Life Connections Study Bible or if it includes all of the margin questions too. The title of the product is "CSB Life Connections Study Bible Notes" but the features list "Utilizes the “Open-Consider-Apply” method for small group Bible study and personal reflection." I read that as saying this includes the questions but I'm not certain based on comments and the previews.

The Kindle version has this question included with the Chapter 31 questions which are all printed together before the Bible text itself.

Has anyone else ordered and received this product? I was trying to use it for study time today and I can't find the chapter questions anywhere. For example, here is the starting page of Genesis 1 (used in all of the sample materials.) It says there are study guides in there but I cannot find them anywhere!

I just purchased it this morning, mainly because I have an old NIV Serendipity Bible for Groups from 1990 (third printing), and it's a bit ragged and thought a digital one would be nice to have. I'm a big fan of home Bible Study groups and knew that some of the questions in the paper back Bible were good, but the Logos version does not seem to have any of the question that I was looking for, it only has a commentary verse by verse, and it's not what I was looking for.I might have to return this purchase.
Another good Bible I have is "The Experiencing God Study Bible"(New King James Bible Version) by Henry T. Blackaby and others...can't find that one anywhere either.

I'm wondering if someone from Logos can respond to this. The product page and the product itself both indicate it includes margin questions but they don't appear to be in the actual product.

I just returned my purchase of this product, and asked them to look into why it says one thing when describing the product, but nowhere to be found once you have it in your library trying to use it. Hoping they can come back with an Oops, sorry about that [:D] and a quick fix,

Hi Don
I wonder if this got any further?
I am trying to do an Italian version of the Outlines, Notes etc of the Serendipity material as I think it would be an awesome asset to small churches in their ministry.
If it was possible to get a copy of the scans yo did that would save a lot of work and make it easier for the translators to get it into Italian.
Am not sure how to email you directly
Any thoughts appreciated
Blessings

Hello Don,
I am Rick Vasquez, pastor of Skyview Presbyerian Church, PCA in Centennial. Colorado. rick@skyviewpca.org
You mentioned the process by which you were able to import the Serendipity questions into your logos as a "Logos Personal Book." If you could, could you send me those steps?
1. Scan
2. Convert to MS Word
3. ???
Thanks

It's been done for a while--updated and enhanced. Inexpensive too.
