Fire Bible

My fear is since it’s not a Reformed/Baptist resource, it will be on the back-burner for a long time.
Since FL acquired the Fire Bible with WS, I've noticed a ton of comparatively unimportant resources ship. Meanwhile, the FB is a foundational study resource for an entire section of FL customers and it hasn't shipped.
I just think it shows either a bias against, a neglect of, or a lack of understanding of P&C users and resources within the FL team.
On a somewhat more positive note, the L9 Bible Engagement Project packages were great-- but alas! apparently it was curated by the AG and not so much by FL.
Look, I love FL and especially Logos and appreciate what they do, but... COME ON!!!0 -
We need to bombard someone's email at FL and make sure we're heard.
It's almost like they don't like us or the Fire Bible.
Either we or the Fire Bible are seemingly low priority to FL. Perhaps both. If we or the FB were a priority, the FB would have happened in Logos long ago. Where there's a will, there's a way. The more will, the sooner. Evidence suggests there's not much will from FL.
So anybody know the right email at FL that we can respectfully appeal to?0 -
Gary. do you have special knowledge as to why it is not ready for release? To imply that it is because ii is not Reformed/Baptist is very impolite unless you have actual knowledge. Despite being far outside the theological position of Faithlife, I have not seen evidence of discrimination in prioritizing work on resources. I have seen discrimination based on ignorance in the software which affects a far broader swath than one theological thread.

MJ, my post was not meant to be impolite, but simply to express my worries, concerns and fears. Surely it's axiomatic that Faithlife has far more Reformed/Baptist material available for purchase than it does Pentecostal/Charismatic? And while I cede that those theological camps produced more material to begin with, it's also true that there's still a plethora of material out there from Pentecostal/Charismatic perspectives that Faithlife does not have.
After more than a decade of not offering what many would call the definitive Pentecostal Study Bible, the Fire Bible (aka Full Life Study Bible), we finally have a chance to own it but it's been sitting in Pre-Pub for at least 14months now. This would be tantamount to Faithlife having not offered the ESV Study Bible by now. Or the Reformation Study Bible by now. Or the Ryrie Study Bible by now. Or MacArthur's Study Bible notes. Or Spurgeon. And on and on it goes. Yet all of that is available while a truly definitive Pentecostal resource like the Fire Bible languishes on the sidelines.
Look, I get that Pentecostals are not in the majority when it comes to Logos customers. But I'd have hoped that after purchasing Wordsearch (which contains the Fire Bible) there would have been some effort to prioritize this resource. Obviously not.
I'm still a loyal Logos customer. But I'm also a disappointed customer. Waiting over a decade for a resource that was offered in multiple other Bible software programs is a long time. And I'm not getting any younger.

You think Pentecostals have problems? try being Catholic (I am) or even worst Coptic (I'm not) [:D] My objection was to the logic of assuming Logos somehow deprioritized a resource they had committed to produce. I have no knowledge of the Fire Bible but it makes sense to me that publishers that FaithLife is used to working with would go faster than publishers that are new to them. Getting to know each other's expectations smooths a process. Second, in something like a study Bible, the number of references/media from 3rd parties become a rights issue -- the study Bible likely owned the right to use them within their own publication but not the right to sell those rights. Please feel free to grumble about the lack of Pentecostal resources -- suggest them on the feedback site; promote them in the forums; suggest features and topic categories that are useful to you. Just please satisfy this logic fanatic and don't say potentially libelous statements like " since it’s not a Reformed/Baptist resource, it will be on the back-burner for a long time." without evidence that it is on a back-burner rather than waiting on rights, files, verse-mapping . . .

Woah there, my friend. You left off an important part of my original comment. I said, "My fear is since it's not...". Throwing around words like libelous with a statement as simple as mine is going way too far. This is a simple message board, and I'm shocked you'd take my little frustration that far.

It shows a ship date of 2/25/2022 for me.
The resource page states that it is currently and EPUB, but will be a LOGOS Edition when it ships.

Yep! Got my email that it would be coming February 25! After almost a decade, I finally get my number one resource! Thank you Logos and Faithlife!

I’m wondering that as well. Getting a little bit nervous at this point in the day.

The Fire Bible is divided into three parts. Part 1 is about the history of fire and how we have used it throughout time. Part 2 is about the different types of fires and how they are created. And finally, Part 3 is about the different ways that we can use fire to our advantage

A certain competitor has the Fire Bible study notes on sale for $20 (regular price $40). Logos' price of $50 seems a bit pricey, Logos should consider coming more in line with their competitors.
